Thoughts on Being, Synchronicity & Inner Wisdom

Life has been unusual, frenzied, and calm all at the same time lately. I've been on leave from work since late June to undergo several non-life-threatening but necessary surgeries. I return to work in mid-September. It began with sinus surgery in May which had an aftermath of something like bronchitis. The strength of my coughing caused internal organs to begin to collapse. Not exactly a lovely thing to happen. Since the sinus surgery in May, I've had one non-surgical procedure that required anesthesia. So by the end of August, I will have had anesthesia five times in the past 4 months...as if my memory weren't already bad enough.

The good news is I seem to bounce back from the surgeries and the anesthesia fairly quickly. The first surgery because of a pelvic prolapse apparently caused organ #2 to prolapse which made everyone stop and say, "gee, something else must be going on here." That led to an MRI to evaluate all those organs but the decision was for two more surgeries to repair everything. I had one last Wednesday and have my last one the end of August. What is the good news about this?

I have more time at home with Nemo. I get to see Brian more. My brain gets to become jello and I don't have to think except to play online Scrabble with my friends. I have joined the photography website Flickr.com and become active in two turtle groups and one reptile and amphibians group. I am proud to say that my one picture of Nemo in his wading pool was marked as a favorite by the owner of the one Turtle pictures group.

Yesterday Nemo decided he would move his rather large basking log and I caught it on my camera video which is now on YouTube. I'm hoping Brian's daughter and my new play buddy Kristen will jazz it up a little, but for now it's just watching my turtle move a log. I want 16 seconds of the soundtrack to Superman with it. hehe. And, as if that isn't enough fun, today I started a blog. Yes, it's true. There now exists nemotheunturtle.blogspot.com. A link has been placed in the left column of this blog. Blog to blog activity. I never imagined...

The bad news is I am having so much trouble bringing myself to focus on my backlog of work that I had hoped to catch up on between surgeries and during my final week of recovery. Yet, I have turtle focus and Scrabble focus and nap focus. I guess it needs to be okay. This is the turtle time of my life. Turtles are good. Nemo is fun. After spending so many years focused on healing from trauma, I am so happy to have a focus other than yuck. I miss my clients. I'll be ready to return in September. For now, I'll let the universe's plan play out. And happily I'll blog along.
