Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.
A pretty cool guy jotted that down while in Bermuda, 1980.
He was staring his 40th bday in the face and reclaiming his mojo, simultaneously.
Those words are so true, they were for me.
On August 1 of 07, I had an emergency appt. with my GI doc, Dr. Theodore Gourdin. It was then I heard the word cancer used when discussing my reality. Odd thing, I didn't freak out, wasn't particularly scared either. In fact, at that precise moment, the feeling I remember having was something more related to - relief.
yeah yeah, I know what you maybe thinking. but it's how I remember it.
Two things brought on that feeling;
1. I had been feeling so sh#tty for the past week or so that I was ready, no, overdue - to face whatever the hell was wrong with meand
2. the magic a talented physician, who couples their knowledge & skill with a warm heart, puts forth towards another human being. Dr. Gourdin told me he knew how bad I was feeling, that he was going to have me admitted asap and that I would be feeling better real soon. And I believed him.
Less than an hour later, I was wearing a hospital gown.
I watched a very kind nurse stare somewhat incredulously at the needle in my arm, wondering aloud why no blood was flowing...
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
- Bob Dylan 1999
