Dear Family and Friends,
I had a comfortable night last night, my first in a long time. This must mean that I am healing from the surgery, although I'm still not eliminating much of the fluid.
We're watching my blood count closely, and it's time to discuss extraction of the 2 root canal teeth. I am not looking forward to that!
George leaves Monday, and Seth comes on Monday. Nice to be so well loved.
Tomorrow is my day off from being poked. The day at the clinic is usually very routine, and I've been finishing by 1 pm.
Love, Carol
Hey Carol!!
ReplyDeleteSteven Tyler Simmons here! How cool would that be to one day walk out onto a stage with thousands of people waiting to hear what I have to say? I would walk out and yell "HELLLLOOOO SAN DIEGO!" No matter where I was, It would always be San Diego. Be Humble.
Anyways I am so glad you are feeling comfortable today. I remember when I was in Minneapolis I met a very nice women who introduced me to Kundalini Yoga. I must say, It is a very interesting practice. When we arrived at the Yoga studio I said to myself, "I am Steven Tyler Simmons, I am cycling across America and NO YOGA CAN MAKE ME SWEAT!" I was foolishly proved wrong. We had to hold our arms straight up for 12 minutes, then to the side, then at a 45degree angel, then repeat, only clinching our fists the second time.
Carol, it was incredibly painful. But I must say, I felt a peace after that yoga session that made my entire trip pale in comparison. Through my excruciating pain during those holds I learned that there is value in pain. It teaches us to rise above it. I would scream to myself, "YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT TO MY BODY BUT YOU WILL NEVER TAKE MY SOUL!" I lifted my consciousness above the pain, and felt Him. Be Courageous.
Its funny you mention root canal in your journal. I actually have a dentist appointment tomorrow at 4:30 investing that same exact thing. I have, for as long as I can remember have problems with bad breath and my GI tract. I could never figure it out. I eat healthier than anyone I know, I exercise, and I pray. Things were just not adding up. So I started poking around with no real answers coming up. Then today, almost as if by some Divine coincidence, I met a dentist at a coffee shop this morning. I started to explain some of my personal problems because, well, she kept asking! She said it is likely I have Paradonial Disease (Not sure about the spelling.) She then went on to say most people just ignore it because the symptoms aren't very obvious. However, I am very sensitive to my body, and that is why I began this search: which seemed to end today.
After my conversation with the sweet Doctor (who I am going to see tomorrow to find out what I actually have) I did some research on the computer. Teeth have a huge impact on the human body. More-so than I have ever known.
Your journal entry just confirmed to me, not only about my condition, but yours too. I know you are not looking forward to it, but your health is the most important thing, and your teeth ARE linked to ultimate health and wellness.
Just like the lessons I learned in that Kundalini Yoga class, you may experience some pain at first, but in the end you will walk away knowing of something much deeper, much closer. I feel this is apart of your healing path Carol. Be Strong.
Its time for me to go to class now. I cant wait to talk to you again.
Love,
Steven
Be Humble. Be Courageous. Be Strong.
