I'm back

Well hello there to all. It has been a while since your least favorite Blogger has written. I have been healing. I had open heart surgery on July 23rd. At the same time had a pacemaker and defibrilator installed. I spent 8 days in the hospital. I am about 1/2 way thru 6 weeks of recovery and restrictions. I am going crazy since I cannot drive or do too many normal tasks. I am hoping I will be released to full duty on 9/4/12. But I honestly doubt it. I am guessing I will be given two more weeks to recover. I will be back soon with updates and poems. Thanks for not reading.

Home

The unholy wretchedness nearly consumed him.

He is left to lick his vile wounds.
He calls out to his loved ones.

For the first time he can hear their replies.

They cradle him to their bussom.

The home hearth wafts its warmth to all inside.

He feels God’s gentle touch, so long lost.

He is finally home and peaceful sleep is his at last.

Life situation.

Sometimes when a man of my age 44 reaches a certain point in his life he has to make tough choices. After this last year with all the health issues and surgeries I have come I think as close to actual death as I can. So sitting in hospital thinking about my life I decided about certain things. I have concluded that life is far too precious to worry so deeply about those unwilling or unable to accept me for who I am. I am a deeply lucky man I have a beautiful, loving wife who for whatever reason loves my deeply. I have strong compassionate and intelligent children. I have a dedicated and loving broad family that I know I can always count on. So to all out there who seem to have a problem with who I am or certain things about me. I have one thing to say. "FUCK THE HELL OFF!"
