I hope you are all well! I have a story to tell. You have heard many of my tales. This story started 15 months ago. It is story of a Gift, I received. I took a fall on the concrete floor of my studio.. A neighbor discovered me.and called 911. They hauled me off to the Emanual Trama Center in Portland. They discoverd a lot of arthritis(stenosis) in my neck, it combined with the fall, vertebrae’s were squeezing my spine. No I did not have a clue. I was stabilized in intensive care. We really did not know what would be the end results? In the end it was a 6 hours of surgery, fusing vertebrae C4,5 6. With head /face wounds.
I had been turned inside out and upside down for six hours, maybe more. As I a woke, my head was filled with images, faces, places, voices,conversations and lots of questions!. They were all swirling around in my head..
I believe I was given a Gift. A gift of time! The gift of more time to be here with you my family / friends. Yes, I’m still weaving stories & songs. Music is coming along and I’m still being me. My daughter said welcome back! and handed me a journal ! “Dad just write it all down !
