I THINK THE MEN ARE BACK NOW. I NO LONGER HEAR THE HOLLOW ECHOES

It's got to be the holidays. I've never seen it so dead.
 
Been wondering about it too. Maybe the holidays and or just a normal ebb.

I've been taking a break from my issues. I'll be back soon.

Yeah, it's pretty quiet - hope it's just the holidays.

Perhaps it's the hangovers ? :p

This isn't the only online place I have been too where it has been quiet... gotta be the holidays. My email is even quiet (except for the spam mail of course).

Have a feeling it won't be long before everything picks up...

Nice to know there are others hanging around here to.

My contribution to the silence has been due to the fact that I have been in indescribable physical pain after having my tonsils removed a week ago today. Oh my God, it has been absolutely hideous! I've been back to the emergency room twice for pain med upgrade, only to be met by a very staid and positively medievel attitude toward pain management. Finally having some success today and getting my head out from under the covers. My cats think I have completely lost my mind, what with all the moaning and carrying on. I guess bringing the medical community into the 21st century in terms of pain management will have to be my next cause, and I am not kidding. No one should have to experience this, there is no reason to. However, it has been good practice in self-advocacy, which shows me what significant strides I have made in recovery. I am learning to never go away with my tail between my legs. I am also learning that pretty much anything can be resolved with respectful and persistent conversation. Anyway, it looks like I got my voice back and found a soapbox so I will cut this short. YeeHaw! Only two more stupid "holidays" left and life returns to normal, whatever that is.

Big Love to all you guys in 2003.

Roy,
I'm sorry things have been so bad for you. I'm thinking about you.

Medievil practise of misguided medicine men. There is no reason in this day and age for people to be in major physical pain. Glad you've found some relief. I'll hope that when you're on your soapbox you have a BIG microphone, as your throat heals.

"How much does it hurt"? I replied, "Stand a little closer, I"ll show you."

Must feel really good to be your own best advocate. Oh, yeah, it's supposed to work that way.

your voice reaches all the way across the Atlantic, have a good new year friend.

Thanks for all the well wishing everybody!

I always like early January because it is like a big giant reset button. I can choose to take action and do the right thing in every situation. Somehow I feel free of the petty and confusing entanglements of the previous year.

Thank you MS for being there when I needed you and for shedding light on a part of my life that had been in the shadows for too long. A special thank you to those of you who care enough to volunteer your time and energy for this organization. Without you, none of this would be possible. Thanks to all of you guys who participate and share vulnerable parts of yourselves here in the interest and spirit of healing. We are like a big chain of men, hand in hand, each of us being pulled along by those in front with more experience and in turn guiding and pulling those behind us through their own stages of recovery. This is so cool. (ok, now imagine the music swelling as Streisand begins singing "People" ...)

Thanks everybody. Happy New Year.
