Buona fortuna Rowan. Take your time and know that your contributions here will be missed.

Ah, Rowan -

I will be thinking of you and sending nothing but positive and warm 'vibes'...

I hope you're back here soon as I always learn from your postings - I especially appreciate that you never approach anything without giving it great consideration and so much energy and insight.

Only had time to skim posts lately, but always make time to read yours and usually, at very least, Rec'd.

Please take good care of you! I look forward to your next post.

Rowan, it is important for you, and for others that you act properly in this. Propriety lay on the path that leads to your own wellness. There is no blame in this; but there is blame in seeing only the short-term, and expending energy you need to use healing to aid others, who will traverse the present, even without you. The past is determinate, the future is expanding potentiality, yet actuality is all. Do not short change what may be, because of an external contemporaneity. Enough of the lalaisms though.

I suspect you may soon be filling prescriptions of very unusual chemicals, in uncommon combinations. Possible synergistic effects need to be considered. In this, your Pharmacist is your greatest ally. MD Specialists are very good at what they do, but they might not have the most current pharmacological information in their memories. Write down your meds and dosages. Keep track of even those you may not have taken for a while, as synthetic chemical serum levels can last longer than expected, especially when liver/kidneys are being worked hard. Good Pharmacists live and breathe this data.

Lastly, get well. peace and love...pca

Bonne Chance!

Your road may be long, and your path strewn with challenges. Perhaps, at times, you will feel lost. Do not falter, for you will never walk alone.

No matter what, we're here.

I'll be thinking good thoughts in your direction, Rowan.

(big hug)

I have found value in your thoughts so I will be happy when you return. Please take especially good care of yourself during your treatment and recovery. And hurry back because we are about to solve all of our problems. In the near future there won’t be any need for your kind of helpful critique and social commentary. I plan to become a pastry chef in the second Obama administration. I suggest you spend the time recuperating to find an avocation other than social responsibility – maybe something in tennis like training to be a let judge.

I’m happy to read elsewhere that the prognosis for eliminating the pain as the result of this treatment is good. I look forward to your further reflections on this journey through pain and treatments. Your first post on this was especially valuable.

Keep us in your thoughts as we keep you in ours.

Best of luck, Rowan, for a speedy recovery. Your thoughtful and thought-provoking posts will be missed while you're gone, so hurry back.

Much love,
Lis

I promise not to write anything interesting in your absence. Please don't make the absence too long. But then again, I don't write anything too interesting in your presence, so take as long as you need to recover.

Bundles of good thoughts are headed your way...by unionized carrier, of course.

This morning I had to run an errand. I saw an eagle skimming along the river as I drove down the river road. It's not a common sight, but not as rare as one might think. Anyway, as I usually do when I see an eagle, I sent out a prayer for the migizi to lift up high...I did not need a prayer for myself at the moment, so the prayer was sent out for anyone who had need of one. I think I know now where the prayer ended up.

Rowan, it is my greatest wish today, that your recovery is quick and free of further pain.

Pax vobiscum Rowan!

Rowan: You matter to us. Go and do and endure that which you must to preserve and strengthen your self. And while doing that, know that you have a community of people who care for you, not just as Ms. Manatee, but as an individual person, whom we think truly remarkable.... and also lovable.
We await and anticipate your recovery and return.
Namaste.

The marine and barnyard life will keep you in our best thoughts - such as they are. :-)

Good luck, Rowan. We'll be waiting for you to come back. You're important to all of us.

Much love, hugz and healing white light,
Seashell
