hospitalization and major surgery but feeling alive again


recovering at home after five months i Hospitalization  from  February to July 2014  

 i was  rushed in for  emergency  abdominal surgery after collapsing  

  despite having  no prior symptoms   one early morning  sudden abdominal pain and  a ruptured  bowel wall  

 luckily operated on in time

very much a life changing experience

 

 

not exactly feeling six millions dollars    with a bowel resection and  have an  daily  dressing covering open wound in my lower abdomen  that is   23cm across

 have to wear a " abdo support"  to  literally stop  my guts  falling out and resemble a Mayan "chac  moo"l figure

 

 

 

no selfies on instragram  nor tweets  from the operating theatre   as  unaware where I was until April

  and  communicated   for weeks  via an alphabetic   pointing  board  

only  able to walk again late may

not something to blog about

 

a long period of recovery over the next year    and realisation that the internet is not everything

email either MIA    cancelled  or compromised  did not have energy or interest y to access internet  during this   home recovery period

sick people writing about their operations dull to anyone  else and prime target for trolling anyway

 

blog   i was working on  posts which i thought i had put on in February   on

 

  a blog post on how  the dream of  a ghostly  medieval knight  warned of the sinking of an ocean liner in 1909

a blog post on  the meridian of Azin  and medieval navigation

a  blog post on  making a quadrant from cardboard and drinking straws

a blog post  on Orion constellation as seen from the distance 11 to 100 light years

a blog post of star trek villain  khans  night sky as seen from ceti alpha 6

a blog post on  Eleanor Plantagenet  1203 -1241  rightful queen of England

a blog post on life on Mars as described  in the writings  of Joseph Conrad and George  Orwell

 

 my last published poem in december was  on the subject of leonardo  da vinci as a body snatcher serial killer

my  rewrite version of the Nibelungenlied  survives in pencil notes that are scribble i cannot read
