I wrote this poem several years ago. As I went to sleep last night, I remembered it. It’s on the site somewhere else (in the Ficition section), but I thought I’d put it in my Thoughts as well, because it certainly feels this way. Not a cheery thing, not by any stretch of the imagination. But… Well, that’s how I feel.

Hey, Iā??m still here. I thought it might be a good idea to post something this week ;) I guess I havenā??t posted an update in the last week or so because nothing much has happened beyond sitting at home worried to death about Sean. Seanā??s fall has some significance to me as well.

Oh, I know I carry anger around a lot, but there are two things in the last few days that really hit me wrong. Some comments from my partner, and some comments from some guy on a forum. As if my fall should both make me "wake up" and be dismissed as inconsequential.

I’m quite bummed out, really. I “survived”, mostly unscathed, a fall that could have made me paraplegic. It didn’t. All my life I’d had this hope, in the back of my mind, that there was a chance for me to become what I needed to be. But this accident shows me that this is not so.

Last week, I fell on my back, from a ladder about 1.5m (4’ 6”) high. Landed, as luck would have it, right at L1-L2. Skin cut. Big nasty bruise. Bruised nerve too, but no permanent damage. Afterwards even though I was winded and in pain, I was able to wiggle toes and fingers and all. I picked myself off the ground and walked to the emergency department at the hospital, 2 or so blocks away from home. I figured it wasn’t a good idea to drive, and it felt silly to ring for an ambulance given I was just knocked out a bit.
