Update time Koz,

Still in hospital. Dr told me this morning that I'll be here until mid-week then off to rehab. For what she called, the real work.
Right now, I can walk about 30 ft, before I get light headed and BP starts dropping. That ain't gonna get me outta this stuff.
So, im prepared mentally, for a long fight back.
I just hope my body is prepared as well

Thanks for all the thoughts and vibes,
Koz

That blood pressure drop problem is worst before it’s diagnosed. I am very sorry you had such a bad fall and I’m very glad you’re getting help now.

Sounds like that will come in handy. Keep being present in the moment. Some shit we just can't control. Hang in there Koz.

For what it's worth - years ago, while I was still teaching, my dad died. We had been estranged for years, and his death was especially difficult. I took the bereavement time off to deal with it all, and one day, i had an overwhelming sense of peace, calm and comfort. It was then that I knew my colleagues at the university where I taught were sending love, light and peace. I will never forget that.

Love and compassion can do wonders. You are not in this alone, Koz. I hope you feel the same strength I felt that day. We are with you.

the ones I got two years ago. They pushed me but also knew when to let up. And they listened.
