Life, CRPS & Everything: June 2013
http://livinganyway.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Life, CRPS and Everything. Saturday, June 8, 2013. Recipe: Even Brain Food Shakes evolve. As my digestion has gotten more frail, I've had more and more trouble with my Brain Food shake. I went to a powder, because organic kale was hard to find and unwieldy, and the nonorganic kind smells like a chemist's armpit. And was still unwieldy. But those shakes still hit my stomach like a cannonball. I stared at him a moment. "I used to know that," I said with chagrin. Fat pinch of schizandra berries (massive ant...

Life, CRPS & Everything: April 2013
http://livinganyway.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Life, CRPS and Everything. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. Sooner or later, it all comes back to breathing. Without adequate breath, obviously, nothing else matters. As a sometime ER nurse and continuing asthmatic, I'm more than usually aware of that fact. I mean something beyond that, though. Something more pervasive. Breathing, like walking, is one of those things that I keep coming back to as an interesting study. I first began meditating in my very early teens, after basic instruction from my mother:. The l...

Life, CRPS & Everything: L.O.B.E.: Lung-Opening Buoyancy Exercise
http://livinganyway.blogspot.com/2011/08/lobe-lung-opening-buoyancy-exercise.html
Life, CRPS and Everything. Friday, August 19, 2011. LOBE: Lung-Opening Buoyancy Exercise. I floated in the hot springs, like a wallowing marshmallow: inhale to come up, exhale to go down and sink beneath the surface. Lift chin, inhaling through fish lips to lift myself up, wobbling; exhale, slowly descend. to one side. It had been a few years since I had done this, but something wasn't right. I was rocking like a drunk. This was just weird. I was only using my lungs one lobe at a time. It was a busy morn...

Life, CRPS & Everything: Rosalie's gold
http://livinganyway.blogspot.com/2013/05/rosalies-gold.html
Life, CRPS and Everything. Tuesday, May 14, 2013. I met Rosalie about 15 years ago, when she put me up for my dad's second wedding. I fell in love with her on sight, when she threw open the door and bathed me and my brothers in such warmth and delight that even awkward, dorky I felt completely welcome in her life. She had several more surgeries, implanted devices, physical therapy, and she swam laps in her pool whenever she could possibly manage it, inviting whoever came over to swim with her to have a g...

Life, CRPS & Everything: March 2013
http://livinganyway.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Life, CRPS and Everything. Saturday, March 30, 2013. Letter to my PT - how about a marathon? Something crystalized in my mind, after reading the preface to a friend's book. I do well with having rather demanding overarching goals. (Trauma nurse at DC General, software geek at Borland? Yeah :).) I have some good mental and creative goals (books on mythology and CRPS neuro-endocrine-immunology, 501c3 called "CRPS: Art and Spirit", etc.), but my physical goals are re. And that's a good, reasonable goal.

Life, CRPS & Everything: May 2013
http://livinganyway.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Life, CRPS and Everything. Tuesday, May 14, 2013. Half-glassed - a metaphor for flexibility. We all know the old trope: half full, or half empty? I worked at Borland, which means, I worked with highly capable engineers who were accustomed to doing things right. I once got a very friendly, but very earnest, lecture about the half-glass phenomenon: the point is not whether the glass is half-full or half-empty. Or use a vessel that's designed to hold that quantity. We either have to build up what we have to...
