and now a word from our spon-soul :))

hey peoples !
it's me, how are y;all doin????
i miss you!!! i love to see you come by with your well wishes and good thoughts and prayers etc..
i just love and miss you. and it's great to see you come by to say hello and " stuff".




(oops-- before i go further-- i shall warn you-- i am on some heavy duty pain meds-- i do mean heavy duty intravenous-stronger than morphine.. straight to "i am dead watch me drool on myself - beyond stoned - but still can't sleep or see kinda stoned. and that makes typing, thinking, and, concentrating for blogging quite an issue. and if you think that's bad? you oughtta ask jamie and soulman and a couple others, just how fun it is to decipher a text from me. lol.) yep, just that much. if not worse.

but hell, if it keeps the pain down, i'll take it. my main concern now is they (the docs) - are talkin about discharging me today OR tomorrow-- the pulmonary (lung) doc says tomorrow. the reg doc said today. BUT the reg doc also said "when they get the pain under control"... well to be honest--- even the meds thay give me every three hours--- wear off sooner than that. and i know they won't send me home with it-- i really don't want them to. i don't know how to use that kind of stuff. i have never a needle in myself before-- except imitrex-- and you have accidental OD on imitrex. no tellin what one little mistake could do with this stuff. and ya can't puke it up if ya realize-- oh shit---i took too much. it would be more like oh bummer, doood.

ya, cuz even when ya (or a person) thinks like i been thinkin lately-- somethin like this stuff i been talkin about t00 and not talkin about, so right up in your face is really a wake up call. ya know? well hell-- i am gettin a feelin i'm gettin lost a little bit here-- i better move on to somethin else and come back to this prt lterl --- (see what i mean? what a mess...btw it should read : part later. grrrr.

see, silence really can be golden.. especially when it come to me. blahhhhhhhhhh.
well dammit- i want some coffee and you know i want a cigarette. that alone could put me into tears right this second . no shit. i am using a prescription by patch-- but they only give me one day---
could i have soulman bring me some-- yup. easily. would he-- yep-- especially if he didn't hear the dr say that the patch would bring my bp too high.. along with an entire new change of events.

so anyhow--- i just made the mistake of mistake of checkin out the theater-- or maybe i "dreamed it--- the clan was was there.. so i left and came to finish this.
i also saw jamie and am gonna go talk with her for a bit.

she's busy right now too, so will holler at me when she's done.

so. that's where i'm at. prisoner of pain and addiction. and at the mercy of a pack of nurse ratched's and dr jeckyls's.

someone better have some cigarettes and fire when he picks me up to bring me home-- whenever that may be...
and yall KNOW he is not a happy man that i "may" smoke. it is on my mind--and i porolly will. what can i say-- the devil has me in his grips.

but thats about it--for now-- i gotta go for now-- but i will try to get back later and let ya know if they catch and release or not!

happy days in your world peeps!

Oh Soul...it is SOOOO good to hear from you. I bet you can't wait to get home. Let Soulman take care of you ok?

I will sleep a lot easier tonight knowing you will be ok. Sweet dreams on those super duper meds of yours.

Mary said...

It's Friday and a good day because our friend, Soul, is able to post. You will have stories to tell when you're feeling better and we'll be here to listen to every word.

Harry and I are going to Montgomery this afternoon and will be home late tomorrow (Saturday). I don't look forward to the drive (almost 4 hours). I should have on-line access there and will check in to see how you're doing.

I'm so very glad that you are making headway towards returning to better days. Remember that we're thinking of you and picturing you well and sassy.

Moohaa said...

You're pretty funny when you're stoned. How long are you going to be dealing with this pain? I hope it goes away soon. It's soo good to hear from you!!!!!!!

Portia said...

Lotsa love chica! Oh, and ps, bout that smoking- don't feel bad, it's the hardest friggin thing to kick - i even got hypnotized last week.....dont waste your money, i could have bought SO many cigs instead..
:)

Angie Weid said...

Yeah Soul's back! Well, now that I think about it were you ever really here? If so, then you were never gone ... but now you're back?!

Those kick-ass meds are great for a short time, then they seem to suck the life out of ya. (at least for me) Hope you are able to get home soon!

Looking forward to seeing you tromp through all our blogs with great doped up comments.

Peace baby!!
Your favorite grippy toed friend

Angie Weid said...

and I mean 'doped' in a medical way, not the hip-hop fashion doped.

CRUSTY MOM-E said...

YOU SOUND LIKE OUR LIL SOUL!! I'm so happy to hear the spunky wide eyed NonSlothfulness in your words..I'm sure you've got some good stories about the nurses and doc's..any fairy worthy ones?? xoxox,
E

Summer said...

Hey! Even sick as hell you're making me laugh! I know about those pain meds...you just can't sleep at all. One would think you could after relieving some of the pain. I know you'll be happy to get home and away from us nurse ratchet types. LOLOL! Keep us posted when you feel up to it!

Love,
C

Cheryl said...

So good to read an all over the place post from you. Be well. Stay as drugged as you can till the pain eases. You'll be home soon, thank goodness. I hope you're on your way to less pain. That will happen, right?

Raine said...

(((((((((Soul))))))))) thats a good question, how long do they expect you to be in such pain? I hope its not long and you are feeling tons better very very soon. I've been worried bout you.

Golden To Silver Val said...

So good to see you posting and getting your old sense of humor back....a sure sign that you're well on the road to recovery, I'd say. I would say that Morphine would be stronger than Vicodin...wonder why they don't keep you on that? Whatever you do....DON'T let them put you on Oxycontin!!! Horribly, horribly addictive.
Keep smilin', soul-friend...and keep getting better!!!
Love and hugs, Charlotte

desert dirt diva said...

glad to see your back, and still making us laugh...

Raine said...

Welcome home Soul!!!!!

bonnie said...

wow, baby, what the hell happened to you? well, I actually kind of know, but gracious!!! Do you know how long this has been developing?

Now I know that some of us will do anything for a good high, but I must ask... what is stronger than morphine? I didn't know there was such a drug. I thought morphine is an opium derivative, just like heroin. You getting heroin?

bonnie said...

I think I might go fishing on your behalf, and I'll smoke too. What brand?

The Real Mother Hen said...

*hug* from this hen.

If your doctors don't cure you, I'll send chicken feet to them!

EE said...

I feel for you, Soul. Addiction sucks!
You hang in there and get yourself better. I'm finally able to sit down and finally figure out exactly what's going on with you.
I'm so glad that you have such an amazing and supportive husband to nurse you back to health.
Stay strong!!!!
