"A Sucking Chest Wound (or a Myocardial Infarction) are Nature's way of telling you to Slow Down!"
And Nature is a Mutha!
I have mostly recovered from the heart attack I had last year, but not the other interrelated issues. Reduced staffing is also complicating my recovery process. Yet, I hope to be able to get out of here and get back to living on my own.
I am still in an "assisted living facility" with no access to the internet, and only recently did I get a new laptop computer.
I had hoped to be able to start posting on SOL again before Veterans Day... then on the 28th of October the Gauleiter of the Socialist Soviet of Wxxxxxxxxx State {name of the former slave holder Redacted by Censors} issued new Edicts...
Friends got me out of Elder Stalag 13 to enjoy Christmas services, and a home cooked Christmas Dinner! ("There has Never been a successful escape from der Elder Stalag," or so the Warden claims) I am also able to get access to SOL for the first time in more than a year.
I am going to try to post a short story before I return to confinement. I hope that my situation improves in 2022.
I still have my old laptop, but it has issues. I hope to get a detachable hard drive with my unfinished chapters of Third Generation Cowboy and a Third Generation Whore before I am recommitted. I also have copies in my "One Drive" account, but the lack of internet access is an issue. At least I am back to writing again.
I am extremely grateful to friends who persisted in bringing me books to read, even though they had to drop them off, and sometimes I did not get them for 72 hours, to a week or more. When I could not get to SOL, at least I had stuff to read!
Some forms of "protection" do more Harm than good.
Merry Christmas to all on SOL, and here's hoping for a much better 2022!
