ANOTHER SURGERY...
On October 12th, at 7:30 AM, I will be undergoing another spinal surgery; this time to try to 'make some space' around the nerve roots in order to alleviate some of the pain I have been living with for the past 13 months. I am SO looking forward to this surgery (you know you're in pain when you are actually looking forward to having your neck sliced open!). I can't wait--bring on the scalpal, boys!
Lest I jest, what I am looking forward to is being able to wake up in the morning without my arm feeling like I have a hot butcher knife sticking out of it (the stabbing feeling in my arm is unbelievable. It truly is beyond words.). The feeling in my upper left arm is akin to a tattoo needle buzzing away day-in-and-day-out. Yes, the last time I got a tattoo the tattoo artist was surprised that I didn't flinch once. I told him, "I live with this kind of pain every moment of my life--except when I'm in deep sleep or in deep meditation."
My energy levels have been really low for the past month: my adrenal hormones are actually running low. It's not difficult to image why, is it? Dealing with this level of pain for 13 months straight is bound to wear a person out; and, believe me, it has. I actually lost my temper in a HUGE way last week--but I'll save that for another post. Right now my only interest is in focusing on getting my energy levels back up. This takes a good deal of inner energy work; my background in Chi-Kung is proving fruitful. But more than that, I also need the aide of others. I am currently looking into finding a Pranayama breath/energy healer who is actually able to transmit healing energy.
Why am I telling you this? Hey--because I also need YOU! Yes--once again, I would like to ask you to please pray for me. Even if you aren't given to prayer, perhaps you could take a moment and just contemplate the fact that I am asking for healing energies from the universe--from you! And then eat a bar of chocolate in my honor (Yes! Dark chocolate scores higher points in the 'I'm not prayin' but I'll eat chocolate for ya' department!).
In closing, I would like to say that I really do feel your prayers, so please keep them coming. And, if you would be so kind, please pray that my energy supply is replenished a.s.a.p..
Thank you!
Until next time,
Love and All Great Blessings to you all,
Bhakti

Your comments mean the world to me, do you know that?
Thank you, Passerby55, for always taking the time to brighten my day!
:)
I have marked the 12th on my calendar (OK, my PalmPilot) and I'll be saying a prayer for you every day until then, and every day thereafter until we hear that you're OK.
I, too, pray that this surgery will ease your pain. For all the peace you share on your blog, you deserve peace of your own.
I shall continue praying for you Bhakti and for world peace. G*d Bless x
Just got that video of Gizmo flushing. Humorous to the eXtreme.
And good luck with your upcoming surgery! Hope it all works out well.
CARMI: Thank you. I've sent you an email offering my kind regards to your warm wishes and prayers. :)
MILADYSA: Thank you, my love. I love your new avatar! Very beautiful.
GYROBOCOP: Glad you enjoyed the video of Gizmo. I cracked up hysterically! And, thank you, too, for your happy wishes. Two weeks til I'm CURED! ;)
You're gonna be fine...
Sending positive energy your way. Ready? Catch!
Mike
I've passed on your prayer request to the grey cat, who specializes in mending time/space rifts while salking grasshoppers in the garden.
My thoughts are with you as well. Hope you're feeling much better very soon!
;->
Ta :]
Hope you are well.
Hope it goes well
MIKE: thanks, buddy. I caught the energy! BTW--I often think of you and the emails you sent me outlining how you got through the remnants of your accident. You're an inspiration, Mikey!
FLATHEADPHONE-HEAD: Thank the grey kitty for me; and ask him not to eat the grasshopper (or Mr. Miyagi-son might get angry!) (Was that 'grasshopper' joke lost on me??)
MILADYSA: Ta to you, too. Ta.
(Now I know what 'Ta' means! Yeah!)
CASEY CASE: Thank you, sir. :)
