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!

By Chad Carlson
Sitting in the sun
Thinking of old times past
Alone in isolation
Will these memories be the last
Writing these few lines
Hoping to strike a nerve
Maybe to rekindle
The flame that once burned
The memories once so vivid
Are slowly starting to fade
As Time goes by with no reply
I start to feel betrayed
I feel like you're not listening
Like you never really cared
Was your entire plan for us
To cause misery and despair
The test of time has proven
What I should've known from the start
Although you had ALL my love
I never really had your heart

- Comment from author about the poem: Low point in my life when I couldn't find a single friend to do anything with. Right after my long time girlfriend decided she wanted space so she could sleep with my boss without it being cheating* (*anymore... I later found out that she had been cheating on me with him for months prior... Glad that I didn't know that at the time... He ended up firing me for missing a shift that he cleared me to take off for a doctor's appointment. I got my job back after contacting corporate but was "promoted" to AGM and was put in charge of 5 restaurants so I wouldn't ever have to work with him again. Perhaps I should write about that.)
