In 2007, I underwent open: In 2007, I underwent open heart surgery, and my survival chances were three in twenty.  After the surgery and my release from the hospital, I had a follow up appointment with the surgeon, and I thanked him for saving my life.  (I might add, before continuing, that he did not share my Faith.)  He replied that he had done nothing at all.  When I asked him what that meant, he told me that when he opened my chest, the mess that he had found was beyond even what he had been trained for (and he is nationally recognized as an expert on that kind of condition).  I asked him what he did, and he told me---and I say this in all truth---"I picked up my instruments, put my hands inside you, and my hands began moving by themselves . . . for eight hours they moved by themselves.  I never knew what the next move would be.  Your God healed you; I simply held the instruments for Him."

Well, I should like to think: Well, I should like to think that your work has been waiting patiently for you to resume when the situation improved.  I wish you the best in your endeavors.  In my own case, which I do not presume to dare to compare to yours, I wanted to write Poetry since October 13th of 1975, and the first real poem did not arrive until sometime in the summer of 1994; nineteen years of wait time.  I am an old man now, with a lot of medical afflictions, but the poems keep coming---for which I thank the Lord most humbly.

Thanks, I am grateful for: Thanks, I am grateful for your comment as well. I noticed I joined this site less than 6 months before I stopped writing, not for lack of trying. I wish I could find a way to write again, but in saying that... I am beginning to think the reason I developed writer's block was because of the psych meds I'd been put on 2 months before... and I've just gotten off them after about 21 years. Wish me luck! I have a book I started in 1995 and haven't been able to finish.

Yes it is.  I have been a: Yes it is.  I have been a member for over twenty years.  I have seen a lot of changes here, mostly positive.  There are some very fine Poets, and a few (but they are a few too many)  poserus who think they are Poets and are not.  I love this site, and I am very grateful to Jason for providing it to us. I am grateful for your reply as well.

microscopic introspection: I think that your character studies (though fictive, of course) are all so funny.
