“Yeah, ’cause I just knocked myself loose again, jumping around and dancing, getting hardcore into to that song.”
(Ouuch…but worth it)

“These rules are borked!:
I have a comfortable bed
Or so I’d like to think of it
But there’s rarely a position
That I can find this comfort
Maybe I need to add another
Layer of foam to cushion me
Perhaps too much inflamed
Pain never abating hinders
The recovery I’ve needed
To overcome the injuries
I want to garden
But do I not lift?
Or grip and dig,
Or kneel, or shift
As extend to retract
Endurent dynamics?
What can I do
And shouldn’t?
One day left for rest
Isn’t enough further
I just workout and
Travel spiral circles
Going over same paths
Seeking spark’s interest
Things get done without
Motivated life’s purpose
Except living day to day
Trying to restore basics
Sunlight’s warmth to greet me
Leaves, grass, trees, and sky
Mountains protecting
Soothing inner eyes
“‘Oh, sweet relief!’ as we returned to the first floor of normal sounds and colors!”
OMG – even the gown and curtains are pixelated, and everything is just blocks and lines like in Minecraft!
Aaaaauuugghh, my reality is melting!”
“Difficulty because hospital corridors contain multiple frequency reverberating hums, and everything in view is 3-D grids.”
“I don’t know why, but it is harder for me to get to my own doctor appts.
Had to get to MRI’s this morning.
First of all, I am no longer ok in the morning.
You could say it’s because I don’t get to sleep until around 2am or so, but my internal biorhythms are altered.
And I won’t detail the diffuculty, but once I got into the hospital where everything was shutdown to minimum operations on the weekend, I had to request wheelchair assistance to help me get checked in and settled into the correct waiting room properly.
The anxiety crush meltdown of gratefully accepting a wheelchair to be shuttled more quickly and safely than my legs and increasing disorientation could take me was alarming.
But there was a kind, older lady that I helped get confirmed in her own location, and she extended to me saying, ” Always ask for a wheelchair in the airport,” confidingly – as I just about broke into tears for needing the darn thing.”
“It feels like there is no real help, only signs and signals pointing the way if one keeps looking for and innovating solutions despite ‘diminishing’ capacities.”
“The injuries are becoming a psychological hindrance as they do not fade – but, in fact, become more insistent and prevalent.
The mind cannot help but panic when experiencing increasing complication impulses – yet, it must struggle to overcome meltdown shutdowns while seeking a newly defined pragmatism.
For it makes sense that as more systems reboot, extent of prior damages becomes ever more clear – and that system overload would increase as additional jagged impulses are seeking to be added to healing’s reintegration.”
“Means something entirely different in seeking balance when one’s boat is flipped, and staying submerged in water’s engulfing suction seems to be the end result, anyway (unrelenting) – especially when one’s sea legs are no longer stable above surface in sailing.”
“Trying to reclaim norms, but norms are now distorted.
This doesn’t mean that things are ‘bad.’
(Sweat)
Things, relatively, might be ‘good.’
(Distrust)
In fact things may be, given skews, ‘getting better, again.’
(Panic)”
“‘Objects in motion stay in motion…’
Newton’s First Law of Motion; also known as The Law of Inertia
I just keep going because it feels like if I stop, I’ll just need to lie back down.”
A symptom of various things…
“Already in the bathroom, I did not want to leave to go get my hair tie, just to come back again – so I got another.
Once I returned to where I thought I’d left it, but typing on my phone having let thought of it go after task completion, irritating pressure on my wrist made me look:
It had been there the entire time!”
“Laughing at perfect ‘death…'”
I learned to innovate
Manifesting physically
Having this disrupted in
Eyes, spine, hands, feet
How in fu**ed hell do I
Save myself, this time?
A beloved sibling sent this to me this eve.
“I had to cancel work until next week because there’s no doubt I got reinjured.
I hate this.
I hate too much pain and lack of pleasure.
I hate limits without any workarounds.”
“It distresses me that when I hear how people like to go for a walk or hiking, my body now says, ‘That’s not for me!'”
“‘Cause I’m gettin’ better…
Yeah, that’s it…”
“I obtained the permanent permit today.
Should I cry with relief, or anguish?”
What could this be?
Why do I feel empty?
I give to others
And help family
I think my body hurts
As engage arm or leg
Gravity is tough going
If spine to neck flayed
To rise from bed
Needs a purpose
Towing the line is
No longer worth it
If movement is stiff
Maybe stay in place
Catch up to moment
Give self some grace
“Here’s to my 2 years ago act of valiance – for which I’m still paying!
Woo-Hoo!”
“Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised that I strained a neck muscle.”
Tapping into rage to fight back the pain.
“It seems that much of my time is forced into experiencing it.”
“It infuriates me that all I can do right now is attend to very few things – and then I must decompress, without making further progress.
Yet, I can’t tell if it’s my inner drive to achieve – or the need to keep pressing hard onward in order to survive that is yelling.”
After effects from work.
“There comes a point near every late evening.where makeshift stamina’s grace collapses, and further movements are accompanied by quiet grunts and wheezes.”
No gentle side-curling that
Creates extra compression
But sprawled diagonal across the bed
Face-down head between two pillows
A thematic that seems to not quit as
A single parent until grown children
Followed by accident’s spinal injury
Dollops a topping of “joke’s on me.”
Angst
“Like bleeding out energetically without needed stop-gap filler to meet, feed, and reset their function.”
“I will be speaking soon with a specialist to see what I can supplement my diet with, though I do not expect to make major changes at this point of restabilizing.”
“It is satisfying to feel my muscle strength and form returning along lines that I’ve been re-conjuring.”
“There’s been no denying, just realigning.”
These first two years since the accident
Have been about gaining distance away
From modes of tipping on edge of collapse
Which I would not let override endurance
Thus internal reroutings smack into walls
When continuing to push past allowances
With mainframe crashings from pressure
As keep reanimating limbs toward future
Something unmentioned has been
A bulging vessel inner pinky finger
Several weeks ago since I noticed
Unsure how long it’s been injured
Could have happened lifting any
Edge with angled weight cutting
I’ve been ignoring it to let heal as
Occasionally acts as trigger finger
Because the pain upon touching
Was swollen and pulse-alarming
Connective tissues and associated
Don’t have tensile tenacity as prior
“The few things that I choose to try to do on any given day are more than I ought to be attempting.
But I used to be able to do so much more!”
I guess I’ve been in denial
Piano strains my brainwaves
While guitar is neuro-untenable
I just keep thinking if I believe…
“Because I need more help to overcome all of this.”
There are exercises and nutrients that
With time and resources could benefit
But if I have just one unit for any effort
I must be careful as to where focusing
I got hurt again yesterday early eve
Simply walking and snagging shoe
Tripped carriage flinging extremes
Tore into junctures where repairing
