Sleepless

Chad Carlson


Notice of absence from Chad Carlson
Hey everyone.

While I'm not back yet I'm throwing in an update. My surgery went well. I'm in so much pain! But hopefully the end result will be worth it. I'm fused from my shoulder blades to my tailbone. It feels about like I thought that it would. Not being able to wipe myself without a special tool is a bit disheartening. But I'll adapt.

Another shout out to Mason. He kept his word to try to include me in things. And even though I didn't participate in the fusion poems, I did appreciate the invitation. Our second battle is coming soon. And I look forward to my upcoming second loss...

I ask for everyone's opinion... I'm changing my profile picture soon. Should the new one be an X-ray of my back post surgery from the side, an X-ray of my back post surgery from the back, or a picture of my back taken last night during the wound check with the outer bandages removed?

Please let me know. Thank you for actually caring everyone.

The winner is the picture of my back scar during first wound check with outer bandages removed!

4:00 in the A.M. Useless to go to bed I have too many things Going through my head Piled up like a train wreck My mind won't let me rest Although my body is fatigued And my sanity is stressed I'm hard-pressed to find the reason The method for my madness This sadness is plaguing me Driving me to my destiny Easy enough For me to just give up Just to lay down and be run over Because I have had enough But you know I'm not that way Because I need the pain I feed off the pain I live for the pain I will die from the pain Without it I could never be the same I bring grief to my family They don't know how to handle me A loner I shall always be As foreseen in my prophecy Relationships won't have me There's too much weight to carry They all start to blissfully But always end in tragedy So take the chance and bet on me 51/50 the deck is stacked against me
