Exactly how happy this makes me…Too long too far away prancing all over LA without me makes Deanna a sad sad girl. Today is a reactive day, not proactive simply because I am not in that time and place lately too make my own destiny. Except in regards to the healer, who has somewhat of…
Today I actually listened to a CD and it didn’t hurt. Of course it was Morningwood’s debut album, something I tried to sing to: it was actually pretty hysterical given my voice works at 60-70% of what it used to. Laura came over and brought me chicken stir fry and we hung out and chatted…
And oh, what have we done? I am finding it hard to be inspired being so bed-ridden…I am bedridden more to boredom than being unable to physically move. I was teary-eyed when Babs left this morning. I felt like I was taken care of unconditionally: wholly and completely with no exchange needed. I need visitors,…
I just had two more arterial surgeries…bypass of my coratid to my subclavian (around a bubble/aneurysm/dissection) and a bypass of my coratid to my vertebral artery. For those of you unaware of what your body is comprised of, there are two main arteries to the brain: the coratid and the vertebral. The vertebral snakes off…
This past week has been so amazing, it’s really hard to see that it does have an end. Babs is leaving town tomorrow morning, inspired to stay by my need for help. It’s nice to have someone making you food, helping with the dog, hanging out and loving you. I feel so incredibly loved after…

Hey, it’s me again, updating on behalf of deaa. She just had her second surgery yesterday. She is in a great deal of pain and is unable to move either side of her neck, but is otherwise ok and on the way to recovery. She wants me to extend her thanks for all of the…
my carotid was poked and prodded and cut into a bunch the other day…today marks day 8 i’ve been here. i feel like absolute crap, in so much pain i can’t even quite explain it. i will be home next tuesday or wednesday after they do the other side of my neck bypass of coratid…
Hey Everyone, This is Deanna’s friend Valéria (aka “Francis”), updating on her behalf. She wanted me to let you know that she made it through her first surgery. The surgeries are bypasses from cora to vertebral and sub clavian arteries on each side. Her right side is done, and her left side will be done…
Today I jet set in to the hospital like some sort of mini-celebrity (this is in my own mind only of course). Then I get regulated. Then I get sliced and diced. I feel nostalgic about my neck for some reason. Should I take a picture of it to show my grandkids one day? Ha!…
