Stevie Nicks - My Idol, My "Name Sake", My Muse.... what an Incredible Woman... and I love all of her songs... yet this one fits right now so well.....






Have You Forgotten....Me.... by Stevie Nicks my Idol, my "namesake"... my Muse....


You've left me now and its seasoned my soul
and with every step you take
I watch another part of you go

I continue to build the wall
You were so strong I fell to my knees
and I don't think I can handle this at all

Well, one more night I'd like to lie and hold you
(yes, and feel...)
to make you smile, I'd like to be there for you
have you forgotten...me

and the days go by
doin' nothin about them
how much time
will i have to spare

my mind won't rest, and I don't sleep
not even in my dreams
if you ever did believe for my sake
if you ever did believe

and the days go by
(by...)
doin' nothin' about them
how much time will I have to spare

and the days go by
(by...)
doin' nothin' about them
how much time will I have to spare

well, one more night I'd like to lie and hold you
(yes, and feel...)
to make you smile, I'd like to be there for you
have you forgotten...me

baby don't leave me
baby don't leave me
baby don't leave me
im down on my knee

I am hurting like hell today, but I am okay... have a call in to my doctor before he also is out for the holidays to check to see about my medications orally until I see him after the 1st of the year next week, when he will up the meds back closer to what I was used to....

UPDATE - On New Pain Pump Surgery and what is to come....

NEW PAIN PUMP IN AND WILL POST MORE LATER....




A quick post to let everyone know I am home, actually got home by about 11:15AM or so, and how I am doing. I know some friends and family maybe concerned, and I am kind of "out of it" so I wanted to post here so everyone knows I am doing good.... I am so thrilled that a dear friend of mine, who was pregnant with her daughter the same time I was with mine, took me and brought me home. She has has several back surgeries herself, so she knows all too well, about all of this.... I am very thankful that she did that for me.... :)




I am actually home already and all went fine. They had a bit of a mix-up not having the medication there at the outpatient center that he fills the pump with. But, my old pump had quite a bit in it, at least until I see him on the 7th. The did NOT turn up the pain meds in the pump like I thought they would, and that is probably for one due to the correct medications to refill it completely, and then I think he wanted to see how I do for now. I still have more oral med I can take if I need them, and I already knew I came home after a 30 mile ride back, had to take one of them... but they had me in and out so quickly again I am still feeling the anesthesia medications in me... so they are keeping me on the sofa at least today to see how all goes... and to get some rest like I know they wanted me to... so I am not staying on here, just wanted to post quickly to let you know and some of my family and so forth I am home safe and sound... and all seems to have went well...

Pain Pump Replacement in the wee hours of tomorrow morning,..

IN October 2010 I had the original pain pump put in, which should have lasted 7 years or more... and here we are 5 years and its been in "stall" for months.... LOTS of things have happened between 2012 to 2015... some good, some horrible... and some I am so fed up in dealing with... I am SICK OF BEING SICK, I AM SICK OF SURGERIES, DOCTORS, HOSPITALS, TEST, LAB WORK, MEDS AFTER MEDS... Does it EVER END??? or at least get somewhat better... For some reason I am having one of these "diassociative" realms, where I feel I am here but not here... I've had this a couple of times in the past about 4 years, especially when there is just too much to deal with... and I think that is where I am at... I want this surgery, and the other at least one in my cervical spine taken care of... and I want some kind of freaking normal to exist... Sometimes I guess maybe that is too much to ask for... so my friend Carrie is picking me up at 4:30 AM and I have to be at the outpatient surgery center to check in at 5:30AM I HOPE that means I am "first up" and can get in and get out.... and we don't have to spend a whole lot of time up there, but they will intubate me, and put me under completely due to the type of surgery it is... so keep me in your thoughts and prayers, along with my Mom, who is totally worried, and Jim... and my kids... plus Carrie please prayer that she is able to drive and be safe.... she has also back issues badly, having several surgeries herself... so I am sure this will not be pleasant for her either... I shall post when I can... 


Now here I am facing yet another surgery, and two after this one if my neck and lower back don't improve...

Garland and Rowlett went through horrid weather last night, 11 confirmed dead in these tornado's








Just unbelievable for this time of year, and then to right now have 11 people dead from these storms, no one would have ever suspected this kind of chaos and this much severity of weather for this time of the year!
