So I didn't post regular updates like I originally wanted to. I think that's mostly because I was too depressed to think about it all enough to write it down.
My recovery has not gone anywhere near what the common recovery is for spinal fusion. I ended up having a second surgery four weeks after the first to repair my unhealed incision. Not to mention the massive nerve pain I've had in my right leg since surgery, and the numbness in my left leg…making it near impossible to do any therapeutic walking exercises. I can barely walk to the bathroom, not to mention sitting long enough to use it…or standing long enough to shower.
And I've learned a lot about dignity, and when you need to set it aside for awhile. This is not a pretty recovery…not that any are..but this one is particularly…unpretty. When you need assistance to do the most basic human physical tasks…you learn a lot about what real love and patience looks like…and who the people are in your life that really matter. I'm crying as I write this, because the truth of those words overwhelms me when I think of them.
This whole experience also makes me think about my mortality almost everyday, and growing old. How, at 40, I'm experiencing things that our relatives go through who are in nursing homes…and the desolation they must feel at times. Feeling so helpless to do the simplest things…being so dependent on others to live through the day. It pains me to think that anyone ever has to go through that. But I digress.
I have six weeks before I go back to the neurosurgeon for a follow up. In the meantime, I'll be starting on four weeks of physical therapy. I would really love to be mobile and healed enough to go back to work after that…but if not, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. The little goals are the easiest to meet, and right now my first little goal is to feel well enough to go back to my own home, instead of depending on my parents during the day. I miss my home, my back deck, my garden, my cat Panther, and I hate that Nik is so out of his normal routine. And most of all, I hate that Aaron has to work six days a week, only to have to come home and spend the evening taking care of me. I know he's exhausted. He's gone above and beyond, and I couldn't imagine going through this without him.
Well, I guess I should try going to sleep. It's 3:36 am. That's another thing…during a major recovery, with lots of meds, your sleep schedule gets completely messed up.
Ah well. Good morning…and here's to a relatively pain-free Monday.
Woke up this morning with the normal excruciating pain, along with an uncomfortable pressure at my incision site. But I took my meds and did some sway-in-place warmups and was surprisingly able to do about six laps between the bedrooms up here.
But then I hurt too much to sit down and pee, so I'll just try that later.
Little goals.
And I still feel like I was hit by a bus. Have had no discernable improvement whatsoever since I got home from hospital. I am so frustrated and angry and tired of the pain. I just want to be able to sit long enough to eat a meal, and stand long enough to take a damn shower.
Have to go in Friday to get my stitches out, but honestly have no idea how I'm gonna make the car ride, since the piriformis pain is so intense I can't even sit longer than two minutes before blasting right past the ten on the pain scale.
Really hoping to turn some kind of corner here soon.
Surgery day was a blur for the most part. I do remember checking in early, and bring in pre op area with Aaron for about a hour or so. Then they rolled me into surgery and put a breathing mask on me…and that was all she wrote until I woke up after surgery in recovery area. That was a blur too.
After being put in my room, the rest of the day was mostly sleeping, interspersed with nurses waking me up for meds, pills and vitals. Mom, Aaron, Alex and Krista were all there.
One restless night later, day two was spent trying to gain some strength. Pt came and had me walk down the hall and try to sit on the chair. Unfortunately, there its major nerve pain in my left leg that wasn't there before surgery, and I can barely walk because of it. Have decreased strength in that leg. Its maddening. I know I just had surgery and it may heal with time. Just really hope it does, and fast. If it keeps like this, I'll be in crutches instead of a cane. :(
On a good note, Nik is coming to visit me today. :)
Got the call from the hospital, have to be there at 5 am tomorrow. Guess that means I'll be first in line, I hope.
Nothing to eat or drink after midnight. Guess I better eat decent today!
I seriously need a nap about now, though. My nerves are tiring me out the past couple of days.
Sitting here in the living room, relaxing with my best little man, watching All About Monster Trucks once again. Loving the time I have this day with Nik, before the long journey of recovery after spinal fusion tomorrow.
Started to get things packed for the stay at moms afterwards, but having second thoughts. Some people tend to overreact to situations and end up causing hurt and extra stress. Maybe healing on my own will be better for me. Hell, I've always been on my own in healing, why change now?
Gonna wait for the call from the hospital with my surgery time. Back to monster trucks with Nik!!
So with four days left, today (yesterday) was my last day at work. I was able to get everything wrapped up that I needed to and my boss left met out a little early, which was much appreciated.
I picked up Nik and we went to dinner at Panera, then came home and relaxed a bit before he passed out from exhaustion. Poor little dude has been so tired this week because of Aarons second shift schedule.
And I'm afraid his schedule will be a little more messed up during and after the surgery, since we'll be staying at my moms for a couple weeks.
Hopefully he'll adjust quickly.
This is what upsets me the most, disrupting Nik. Plus the fact that I won't be able top pick him up or hold him for a few weeks. I live to hug and cuddle with my baby boy, and this will be agony for me.
Here's hoping recovery goes quickly!
So this will cover seven, six and five days before surgery…since I haven't posted since eight.
Over the past few days, I've been kind of lax, and not doing much to get ready for surgery day. I guess I'm kind of burned out and frustrated…feeling kind of alone in all of this. My eldest doesn't seem to give two craps about anything dealing with me, and poor Aaron is so busy working and driving kids around that I don't think he remembers to remember this or to stop and talk to me and show support.
But it all boils down to…I just really wish someone would put their arms around me and say they care what I'm going through, and the anxiety and nervousness that I feel before this major life event takes place. And that they are there, and want to help, and want to put me first for a few days. Is that too selfish??
I was hoping for a clean house before surgery…but since I can't physically do much of anything in that regard…it just didn't happen. In fact, it got worse. So now I have the added stress of coming home after the first couple weeks at my mom's to a messy house. I seriously just wish I could hire a house cleaner to come through and clean…but I'd probably go broke doing that…LOL.
I've been busy at work, wrapping projects up and getting things ready for my absence…so work is really the least of my worries at this point. At least tonight will be my last physical therapy session. I really hated PT. The only reason they made me go through it again was for insurance purposes. Completely pointless, and only took more time away from Nikolas…when we really don't have much time to begin with. Ugh…sometimes I wish I could be a stay at home mom…but I'm too independent in that regard, and would rather my children be brought up to learn the importance of self-reliance.
We did have a nice 4th of July…went swimming. The baby had a blast, and it felt great being in the water. Certainly wish we had a pool at home…that would be great for recovery.
Guess I really need to just sit down and take my support into my own hands, though. L I only have 5 days left to do this. I don't even think we know what we're doing with the baby while I'm in the hospital.
Not much today. Really just kind of angry…but that's a whole different story.
The nurse called this morning and said that the MRI didn't show any cervical spine issues, so the numbness in my arms and hands is most likely carpal tunnel. Yay, something different to deal with now, too. At least the night braces are helping with the pain and numbness at night, and I can get a little more sleep.
Speaking of sleep, I'm exhausted. And I overdid it this evening. Time to hit the sack.
With nine days left, I've been checking YouTube some more to watch videos that other people have done who went through this surgery. Its been enlightening and informative, if not a little scary.
I've also been trying to find a good medication log app for my phone, since meds are going to be a big part of my recovery. Although, I can't seem to find one that matches exactly what i'm looking for, so maybe a notebook would be the best. Back to the low tech roots.
This is also my last week at work, so I'll be pretty busy wrapping things up there and getting stuff ready for my fill in. Doc says I'll probably be off around three months.
Really would have rather waited to do this in the fall, but sometimes your body has its own agenda, and you just have to go with it.
Officially 10 days left until my surgery.
I went to see my neuro yesterday, who will be doing my surgery, Dr. Peter Gerszten. I've been having horrible numbing and pain in my hands. It mostly comes out at night while I'm sleeping. I don't think I've gotten more than 4.5 hours of sleep a night in the past week because of the combined pain in my back, legs and now hands. He had me go get another MRI the same day, just to make sure whether or not it's something in the cervical spine causing the hand numbness. He'll call me early next week with the results.
In the meantime, I went and bought a couple of night braces to wear while I sleep. They help keep your hands in a good position, and they're pretty comfy, so here's hoping they help a bit.
I need to go shopping yet and pick up a few things for my recovery, like a few pairs of sweat pants and large tees, and maybe some new, comfy pj's. Maybe get a hair trim, since I won't be able to do that for a while after surgery.
One of the things that I'm finding is that I've been eating take out way too much lately. Problem is, I can't stand long enough to really cook anything for dinner, so I usually just stop at Taco Bell or Subway on the way home from physical therapy…or we go out to eat somewhere for dinner. It sure doesn't make it any easier being a vegan…there sure isn't much out there in the way of frozen meals that are vegan-friendly that I can just pop in the microwave. Ah well.
Well, I'm sitting here by myself, as Aaron took Nik and the kids to his sister's for a birthday party. I did a tiny bit of cleaning in the bathroom…but I think it's time to sit back and relax in the quiet and the AC.
Until next time!
Guess I will start a new blog and try out tumblr. They always say to write what you know, so I guess I'll write about my current struggles with spinal stenosis, and dealing with the day to day of that.
Right now, I've been dealing with spinal stenosis that came about from a deteriorating fight with spondylolisthesis.
Before I continue, let me explain what both of those are. Spondylolisthesis is the slippage of one vertebra off another. In my case, its L5 slipping forward. This condition itself doesn't necessarily cause pain. But it can lead to spinal stenosis, which is when the opening in a vertebra through which a major nerve passes through becomes lessened, causing the bone to rub against or pinch the nerve.
This usually causes pain, ranging anywhere from a slight ping to a debilitating ache that makes it near impossible to function. Can also cause numbness in the extremities, muscle atrophy and drop foot, among other things.
I was unlucky enough to get the bad end of things, as I am currently only able to walk certain distances with the aid of a cane or shopping buggy. My ortho doc, Dr. William Donaldson of Upmc, did am MRI to confirm what was going on, and suggests surgery as a viable option.
The surgery is spinal fusion, and it will put me out of work for a few months. Not to mention the risk of making things worse. But the chance to live without the pain is just as compelling.
I have a lot to think about.

Dr. Vladeck is Senior Advisor to Nexera, Inc. He was Administrator of the Health Care Financing Administration (now Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) from 1993-97, and was subsequently appointed by President Clinton to the National Bipartisan Commission on the Future of Medicare.
The usual laundry lists of proposals for Medicare savings are already being circulated throughout official Washington. Most of these ideas have been around for years, and have never gotten past the talking stages because of political opposition or because they are simply bad ideas. But one especially pernicious proposal appears to have increasing traction among both politicians and policy analysts.

The Cleveland Cavaliers may have landed LeBron James in the offseason but their work is far from over when it comes to making sure the roster is as tight as it can be in order to win not one or two titles but multiple titles over multiple years.
Part of making a roster that strong is going out and making big deals when you need to in order to land the pieces you need. Right now that piece is Kevin Love and the Cavaliers are making a push to get him, even if it doesn't outwardly seem so.
According to Darren Wolfson from ESPN1500AM in Minneapolis, the Wolves and Cavs are in direct contact on a daily basis but nothing new has developed.
Sides talking daily. Nothing else to report at the moment. #twolves RT @MitchRepsCavs: @DarrenWolfson any Love Cavs updates?
— Darren Wolfson (@DarrenWolfson) July 22, 2014
The fact that the two sides are in contact on a daily basis is wildly encouraging but it shows just how slow the process is moving. Love may very well end up with the Cavaliers but it's not going to be something either sides rushes to without taking some serious thought about just how massive the deal is.

Suddenly, as if they realize the president's crimes against liberty have become too well known, the media have exploded with reports of Obama's impending impeachment. The Daily Caller has a piece stating, "Liberals Worry GOP Will Attempt to Impeach Obama." The Christian Science Monitor asks, "Will Republicans Now Impeach Obama? (Is That a Serious Question?)" Last month, Jonathan Chait of The New Republic has written, "If Republicans win and maintain control of the House of Representatives, they are going to impeach President Obama." On Thursday, Politico's Josh Gerstein sent the White House a message in an article entitled, "Memo to Obama: Lawyer Up." (The Washington Times responded with the editorial: "Memo to Obama: Don't Lawyer Up"; George Soros' boys at Media Matters objected only to the Times.) The Wall Street Journal piled on with a blog entry advising, "Lawyer Up, Mr. President, Here Come the Subpoenas."
Advertisement-content continues below
The Hill newspaper reports that the GOP is likely to tell the Obama administration not to shred any documents, which it will subpoena next year.
The undisputed leader of the conservative movement, Rush Limbaugh, is cheering the development. On his radio program on Friday, Rush said, "Subpoena power – that's where Republicans have a goldmine." International evangelist and WorldNetDaily commentator Hal Lindsey dedicated the headlines on Thursday to whether Obama would be impeached.
Liberals are predictably apoplectic over the possibility. MSNBC's Ed Schultz, who has spent his envious life imitating Rush or savaging him, warned, "House Republicans… might go so far as to try to impeach President Obama." Earlier this week, Sgt. Schultz demanded the incoming Republican leadership foreswear any attempt at impeachment:
Four years ago, in the midst of an avalanche of criticism of the Bush administration, Nancy Pelosi took impeachment off the table. I want to ask Mr. Boehner tonight, are you going to take impeachment off the table? Or are we going to go down this road of divide, are we going to go down this road of investigations?
(Story continues after the video.)
Advertisement-content continues below
After facing criticism, Schultz said he got he first learned of the possibility from longtime Democratic Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-SC, who warned the Republican Congress would investigate Barack Obama's birth certificate and eligibility.
The media are busy reassuring themselves that, not only will Barack Obama not be impeached, but he will coast to re-election in 2012. Journalists inform their readers that political scientists agree impeachment is not coming. The oft-quoted Larry Sabato called the idea "ridiculous," adding it "would backfire badly, just as it did in 1998." John Hart, professor of communication at Hawaii Pacific University, derided such talk as a "kind of flight of fancy."
Some Republicans, too, have sought to ingratiate themselves with the media and the liberals (but then I repeat myself). House Minority Leader John Boehner has told The Daily Caller, "We have no plans to [impeach] the president." Rep. Darrell Issa, while signaling he will press forward with the investigations he has already launched, has stated there is "not a chance at this point" he would impeach the president. Issa has gone far enough to say, "My job is to make the president a success."

Welcome, and well done. Personally, I would go for the bigger bike, lot less work to ride, much less tap dancing on the gear lever to keep the engine in the sweet spot, especially for commuting. Don't really see much point in the 250's any more..... unless it's something to do with the new license... An RD250/350LC, maybe,, but not a small 4stroke.

If you're looking at buying brand new then the Suzuki Inazuma (or asthma or sumfink) is supposed to be a great little 250 commuter. I'd consider one myself if my journey's didn't take in motorways (lots of them). The new 500 range Honda do looks set to be a great commuter range and should prove pretty frugal too. While a bit bigger they still fall into the A2 category and should be a little more versatile as the larger engines will cope better at motorway speeds. The NC700's are also getting good reviews and will be all the bike you need if you're not wanting to blat about at warp speeds all the time. My ER6 Kawasaki is a great all rounder and can prove exciting and scary when pushed or act like a pussy cat and return nearly 70mpg (my best is 68mpg) when treated carefully. If it were me I'd go for the bigger bikes if you're commuting 30 miles into London because you've got that extra bit of power for dual carriageways/motorways meaning less stress on the engine.

Sometimes I Dream Of You
DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously…this made me cry. So…if you have a weak disposition, don't read.
"Deeerrrek," the voice is singsong, sweet, familiar and Derek rolls his eyes, presses his fingers to his temple.
"Go away," he growls, tightening his fingers around the steering wheel, knuckles going white as he grips so hard he thinks he might actually break it this time.
"Thing is, Soul Wolf, that you don't want me too," Stiles says, sucking thick strawberry milkshake through a too thin straw, his cheeks hollow out and he makes a face, slides his eyes sideways and raises one eyebrow over the big brown taunting eyes at Derek.
He's right though, sitting there in his goddam red hoodie, milkshake dripping condensation all over himself, and Derek can practically taste the fucking thing, Stiles is right, Derek doesn't want him gone. No matter what he says he never wanted him gone.
"Yeah I know," he mutters and Stiles runs his fingers run down the side of his neck, close but not quiet touching. "Stop it."
"Why?" Stiles pouts, honest to God pouts, sticks out his lower lip as far as it will go and crosses his arms over his chest.
"I'm trying to drive," Derek grumbles and Stiles lets out that laugh from his stomach, the low throaty one he gets whenever Derek's trying to be angry.
"You love me," Stiles mutters, lays his hand on Derek's thigh and stares straight ahead as Derek feels the warmth seep through his jeans.
"How was everyone?" Stiles is bouncing on Derek's bed, his t-shirt riding up every time, showing that strip of skin that Derek loves to run his tongue over.
"Fine," Derek pulls his shirt off, throws it in the corner of the room and crawls onto his bed, tries to ignore the creak of the bed springs as Stiles carries on jumping. "Stiles."
One last jump and then Derek feels Stiles's breath against his ear.
"You could just go talk to them yourself," Derek mutters and Stiles's long fingers run through his hair.
"You know I can't."
"Just leave me alone," Derek throws his glass at Stiles, its doesn't hit him, he sidesteps and Derek wonders when his reflexes became so good, Stiles puts his hands on his hips and smiles.
"You don't want me to."
"Yes I do," Derek shouts and Stiles cocks his head to the side.
"No you don't, otherwise I wouldn't be here."
Stiles died on a Sunday afternoon.
Derek always said he looked good in red, red hoodie, red bitten lips, red blush against his cheek. It was his best colour. But the bright red that gushed from his stomach, through Derek's fingers didn't suit him, the red around his lips as he coughed and clutched at Derek's wrists clashed with the paleness of his skin, and the wide panicked brown of his eyes.
"Shut up," Derek growled, pressing harder as his hands got sticker, warmer. There's noise all around him, shouting, he thinks maybe Allison is crying, but all of his senses are zeroed in on Stiles, the heavy breathing, the hitch as he tries to swallow, the rapid beating of his heart as it trip inside his chest, like a bird trying to break free. Stiles's fingers loosen around his wrist and his eyes flutter. "No…no, Stiles, no."
"Don't be…" his voice barely more than a whisper but Derek hears it all, "such a sour wolf."
"Stiles," Derek's voice sounds panicked, desperate even to his own ears and Stiles's eyes snap open, "don't you even think about dying on me…you hear?"
"I hear."
He had heard, but he hadn't listened though and Derek had felt the exact moment Stiles had slipped from him, the tug in his stomach, the almost crippling pain in his chest.
"I love you, you know," Stiles says and Derek can almost feel his fingers running down the side of his face, and Stiles's breath against the side of his neck.
"You're dead," Derek mutters and Stiles huffs out a laugh, appears in front of him with a grin that Derek misses like an ache in his chest.
"Well now that's just insensitive…"
"It's true…you died…" Stiles crouches in front of him, his hands almost touching Derek's where he's got them clasped in front of him, Derek can almost feel the heat from them, "you died," he says again, "under my hands and I…"
"I love you."
"Remember when you first kissed me?" Derek's dreaming again, and in dreams he can actually touch Stiles, spread his fingers out between his ribs, push inside his tight body and just stay there, until he wakes up.
"Stop it," Derek pleads and Stiles reaches up, runs his fingers down the bridge of his nose, over his lips.
"Remember I got hurt, and you felt it was your fault?" he says, arching his back as Derek pushes inside.
"Stiles…please." Stiles's fingers press into his pulse.
"Remember I said it wasn't your fault…me getting hurt was <i>never</i> your fault," Derek's stomach twists, he knows where this is going and Stiles whines as Derek pulls out. "It wasn't your fault Derek."
"It wasn't your fault."
"Hide and seek," Derek twists his neck round and looks at Stiles as his face appears under Derek's car. Derek sighs and twists a bolt with his fingers, slipping on the grease. He curses and Stiles chuckles.
"It never works, I always find you," Derek mutters and Stiles laughs again, and Derek almost feels the breath of it against his hair.
"This time you wont, I've got a really good place," Stiles disappears from view and Derek hauls himself from under the car, finds him lounging on the hood. There's a strip of skin between his jeans and his t-shirt, that line of hair just taunting him because Derek knows what it feels like under his fingers. Except he can't feel it anymore, can't run his tongue up at and feel the shivers in Stiles's body, or they noises that Stiles would make.
"Well then I don't want to play," Derek takes a step towards the house, brushes his hands against his jeans and looks up to find Stiles with his arms crossed in front of him.
"You have to Derek," he says, in the voice he used to use whenever Derek got hurt, the irritated, worried voice.
"Stiles," Stiles raises an eyebrow and grins, the annoying grin he used whenever he was trying to get Derek to do something he didn't want to. Derek sighs.
"You have to," Stiles says, holding his hand out, palm almost touching Derek's chest. Derek closes his eyes because he doesn't want to see that, doesn't want to see Stiles hand on him.
"Because you have to lose me," Stiles cocks his head to the side.
"I don't want to," Derek walks around him and slams the door to the house, but not before Stiles's voice echoes in his ears.
"I know."
"How is he?" Stiles asks from across the car and Derek doesn't even jump this time, he's gotten used to the way Stiles just appears. Derek shakes his head and grips tighter at the steering wheel. "Hey remember when we had sex in the back of this car, and I banged my elbow and you got cramp?"
"Stop it."
"How is he?" Derek slams his foot on the break, the car screeches to a halt, gravel from the side of the road pinging up under the car as it slides to a stop and Derek slams his hand against the wheel.
"You really wanna know Stiles? He's broken, he lost his wife and then his son, he's fucking broken and…" Derek drops his head to the steering wheel, "…so am I."
"I'm sorry," Stiles mutters and Derek looks up to see Stiles looking down at his hands. The veins on the back are stark against his pale skin, and Derek remembers what they felt like running over his skin, fingers tracing the shape of his tattoo.
"He has no one Stiles, how do you think he is?" Derek demands and Stiles raises an eyebrow at him across the car.
"Are we still talking about my dad?"
"We're not actually talking," Derek says and turns the ignition, pulls the car back onto the road.
"Touche," Stiles chuckles and when Derek looks back, he's gone.
"I cant do this without you," Stiles cocks his head to the side and Derek runs his fingers down his stomach, watches the twitch in the muscles. They're lying on the porch, and the light is a strange mixture of dusk and bright sunshine and it makes Stiles look paler than normal.
"Yes you can, you did it without me before…us," he leans down and runs his tongue up the dip in the centre of Derek's chest.
"No…you were always there," Derek says, running the tips of his fingers across the short hair on Stiles's head.
"I still am.".
"Why wont you let me breathe?" Derek shouts and throws a glass at the nearest hard surface, Stiles flinches and puts his hands on his hips.
"Because you wont let me go," he says and dodges the plate that Derek throws at him.
"Just…" Derek growls, his chest tightening as he presses his hand to his face and crumples to the floor, "just leave me alone."
Stiles is always there, until one day he's not. And Derek spends most of the time panicking, that this is it, Stiles has gone for good. Even though there's that tiny part of him that feels like he can breathe a little easier, isn't drowning in sorrow quiet so much, like his toes can just scrape the bottom.
He doesn't even appear in Derek's dreams that night.
He's not there the next day either but Derek dreams of him as he dozes off with his head on the kitchen table.
Stiles runs his fingers across the back of his neck, crawls into Derek's lap as Derek sits up.
"Where have you been?"
"Letting you breathe," Stiles replies, running his thumbs across the dark circles under Derek's eyes.
"I miss you."
"I miss you too," Stiles replies, his mouth hot against Derek's.
"Is it time for that game of hide and seek?" Stiles's lips curl at the corners and he runs his hand through Derek's hair.
He doesn't come every day anymore, and sometimes Derek will go weeks, months even before Stiles appears, with a grin and a "hey Derek remember when…".
He misses him still, like an ache in his chest when he thinks about him for too long, but it's not the can't breathe without him ache that was there before.
The Sheriff still comes round every now and then, brings burgers and laughs quietly at how Stiles would be bitching about him eating badly. Derek always feels bad when he heaves a sigh of relief when he leaves. It's usually then Stiles appears and scolds Derek for being mean. "Don't be such a sour wolf, he's lonely."
He knows there wont be anyone else, everyone does, and he's ok with that. Even Erica and Isaac's misplaced match making skills doesn't make him growl at much as he used to. Because he knows now that he lost Stiles, but everyone else lost Stiles as well.
He still dreams about him, he prefers those to the day time visits, because he gets to touch Stiles in his dreams, gets to remember what Stiles's skin felt like, the noises he made when he came, the tight heat of his body.
And he wakes with the taste of Stiles still in his mouth and takes a minute to savour it, holding on for a few brief moments. Then he gets up, puts one foot in front of the other and just breathes.

This double standard nonsense will accomplish one thing, its going to get to the point where calling one a racist will become a good thing, it will mean that person is thinking the right way! The racist label is losing all its steam...............just a thought, I wonder if a white pitcher in baseball strikes out a black ballplayer ............is he a racist? sounds dumb right? but if you back up a few years things that were considered dumb are now a fact of life.

COLUMBUS, Miss. -- Novelist Michael Farris Smith, author of the critically acclaimed "Rivers," will be the featured speaker at a Jan. 8 gathering of Mississippi University for Women alumni.
The 4 p.m. event is being held at Merrehope (905 Martin Luther King Drive) and will offer light refreshments. Cost is $10 per person, payable to Betty Lou Jones.
Smith, associate professor of English, is a McComb native who joined The W faculty in 2007. His novel, published last September by Simon & Schuster, has been called "a stunning work of speculative fiction" by the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. Kirkus Reviews says it is "tense, moving, and expertly executed," and novelist James Lee Burke has placed Smith among writers such as Cormac McCarthy and William Faulkner.
In December, "Rivers" was named by BookRiot as one of the best books of 2013. It is now available from Amazon both in hardcover and as a Kindle downloadable e-book.
"We are excited to have a talented contemporary writer join us for this event," Jones said. "Dr. Smith is an outstanding example of the high quality of The W faculty and we look forward to his insights about writing and about his successful novel."

Article About the Former Chef at The White House
The NYTimes wrote an article abot Walter Scheib the former Chef at the White House. I found it pretty interesting. He has a new book coming out.
If members want to add anything to this post please make sure it is not political. This is a food board and politics are better discussed elsewhere.
I find Chef Scheib to be the quintessential professional. His statement that he isn't in the kitchen to serve what he wants, but what the First Family wants is right on the money.
It's hard to avoid the stereotypical associations a reader brings to and takes away from this story.
Of course, we can all recall catastophic gastronomic associations associated with past presidents.
Remember Nixon's cottage cheese and ketchup and LBJ's love of "barbecue" which, when looked at from today's perspective appears to be an overcooked, oversauced mess.
Chef Scheib seems far better off today. Like Anthony Bourdain he can now wear comfortable clothes, keep regular hours, tell tales and make a lot more money.
Seems like I've got a Barbara Bush baked potato soup recipe somewhere, and a Laura Bush one-dish-supper recipe. Anybody else with *official* White House recipes, from ANY administration? Something from Jackie? (The closest I can come to that is watercress soup from Lady Di) Did Jackie cook? Hillary?
re: BangorDin
There is a wonderful cookbook, part history, part recipes that presents recipes from many administration.
White House Cookbook, Revised and Updated Centennial Edition
I have some cookie recipes from Albert Kumin, who was White House Pastry Chef during the Carter administration. The recipes were published by Family Circle magazine — a Christmas issue, I think.
re: BangorDin
Yup! Pecan Diamonds was one of his recipes.
I also once read a book called "From Hardtack to Home Fries: An Uncommon History of American Cooks and Meals" by Barbara Haber. Haber chronicled developments in American history through contemporary cookbooks. One chapter was about Eleanore Roosevelt's infamous secretary who specified really *awful* food for both White House residents and guests including State guests. It was Mrs. Roosevelt's intention to demonstrate some of the loyalty that Laura Bush must be feeling for her secretary and to be observant of the effects of the Depression on American families. ...if only the current residents would model THAT behavior.
Haber supplied a couple of the infamous secretary's recipes. I didn't keep them before I passed the book on.
Rene Verdon, the French chef Jackie Kennedy hired and who stayed on through the early part of the Johnson years, wrote The White House Chef Cookbook and French Cooking for The American Table.
Henry Haller, who succeeded him, worked for Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter and Reagan. Haller wrote The White House Family Cookbook.
Roland Meisner was pastry chef through five administrations and occasionally there is an article about his work but I don't know if he has a book in the works. He did the incredible gingerbread houses in the WH Christmas decorations. Ann Amernick, who worked with Meisner in the Carter and Reagan years, has written several books and is the executive pastry chef and owner of Palena restaurant in Washington DC. She is renowned for her wedding cakes.
Ariel DeGuzman has been personal chef to George HW Bush and Barbara Bush for many years and wrote The Bush Family Cookbook that even includes a recipe for broccoli salad as well as fish caught by the former President.
Just a sampling.
Scheib produced beautiful food at the White House for Mrs. Clinton and for more than four years under Mrs. Bush. The styles of entertaining were as different as the two families are, but both represented the United States well to those they entertained.
The White House kitchen is now under the direction of Cristeta Comerford, who was Schweib's assistant and the first woman to hold the top job. I hope whoever wins in '08 keeps her on as her work has been exemplary, keeping with the fine tradition of White House entertaining
Scheib himself said, "I loved working for both the Bushes and the Clintons." Partisan sniping has no place here. In the White House and in our dipomatic service abroad, we represent the United States, not a political party.

Health-Care-Associated Infections in Hospitals:
Leadership Needed from HHS to Prioritize Prevention Practices and Improve Data on These Infections
GAO-08-673T: Published: Apr 16, 2008. Publicly Released: Apr 16, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), health-care-associated infections (HAI)--infections that patients acquire while receiving treatment for other conditions--are estimated to be 1 of the top 10 causes of death in the nation. This statement summarizes a report issued in March and released today, Health-Care-Associated Infections in Hospitals: Leadership Needed from HHS to Prioritize Prevention Practices and Improve Data on These Infections (GAO-08-283). In this report, GAO examined (1) CDC's guidelines for hospitals to reduce or prevent HAIs and what HHS does to promote their implementation, (2) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' (CMS) and hospital accrediting organizations' required standards for hospitals to reduce or prevent HAIs, and (3) HHS programs that collect data related to HAIs and integration of the data across HHS. To conduct the work, GAO reviewed documents and interviewed HHS agency and accrediting organization officials.
In its March report, which is summarized in this statement, GAO found CDC has 13 guidelines for hospitals on infection control and prevention, which contain almost 1,200 recommended practices, but activities across HHS to promote implementation of these practices are not guided by a prioritization of the practices. Although most of the practices have been sorted into categories primarily on the basis of the strength of the scientific evidence for the practice, other factors to consider in prioritizing, such as costs or organizational obstacles, have not been taken into account. While CDC's guidelines describe specific clinical practices recommended to reduce HAIs, the infection control standards that CMS and the accrediting organizations require of hospitals describe the fundamental components of a hospital's infection control program. The standards are far fewer in number than CDC's recommended practices and generally do not require that hospitals implement all recommended practices in CDC's guidelines. Multiple HHS programs have databases that collect data on HAIs, but limitations in the scope of information collected and a lack of integration across the databases constrain the utility of the data. GAO concluded that the lack of department-level prioritization of CDC's large number of recommended practices has hindered efforts to promote their implementation. GAO noted that a few of CDC's strongly recommended practices were required by CMS or the accrediting organizations but that it was not reasonable to expect CMS or the accrediting organizations to require additional practices without prioritization. GAO also concluded that HHS has not effectively used the HAI-related data it has collected through multiple databases across the department to provide a complete picture of the extent of the problem.

The music and singing were really enjoyable. The writing demonstrated talent... But, the one joke ride became incredibly tiring as the story meandered around no-where. It could have been worse, but it was also clear that the stage was full of enough talent that they could have done a great show.

I went in thinking I was going to laugh non-stop. The show started out really strong. The opening monologue was very funny & the shadow work was a creative approach. I thoroughly enjoyed the first musical number, then I started to grow bored. The show got a little messy and slightly confusing. The puppet vocal work by Travis Berg & Joel Partyka was wonderful, but the puppet handling needed some work & attention to detail. Alex Letsche was hilarious as Jesus & there were some great one-liners in the script. All in all, the show fell short of my "high" hopes.

This show had some real energy. Between the puppets, the plot of selling meth in the time of Jesus, the choreography, and the crazy ukelele songs, it was an enjoyable show. I know it may be offensive, it may be sacriligious, but one thing I do know: It was fun. Check it out.

This show is so beautifully offensive! A great cast and creative team working together to really show the bright side of meth. Such a bizarre concept that is really kicked up a notch by the addition of a score in which the only instrument used is a ukulele. Some fantastic high energy performances and it kept me laughing the entire time. Sure to be a hit! Do not miss this show!

The first half started off freakin' hilarious--almost like a lampoon of Sesame Street. The antics, the intentional corniness and of course the ukulele soundtrack were fantastic.
Then it kind of fell apart in the second half. The plot seemed to essentially stop moving. The same meth jokes were repeated until they lost their humor. And then of course there's the tedious attempt to be "edgy" by yet again making fun of Christians.
If they would put the silly psychotic cheesiness in a more steadily-moving plot while avoiding cliche attempts to be "controversial", this could be a good show.

A show about meth with no consequences, puppet sex, poking fun at Jesus, what more could you want? A clear plot, maybe? There were some great one liners and catchy tunes, but it wasn't enough to keep my attention the full hour. And the lack of plot or purpose left something to be desired. I feel that the actors and director did the best with what they were given, but it could have been a lot better. If you like really crude humor, nothing deep and meaningful, and a cat name Squirrel it's a good way to spend an hour.

Not knowing what to expect other than some crude humor, I went into The Time-Traveling Meth Lab with fairly low expectations. The show exceeded those, but only just.
An enthusiastic and well staged production, the actors gave it their all, particularly Briggs, creating huge entertaining characters, if not particularly deep. The ukelele musical numbers definitely entertained.
The biggest hold-up was the script. Despite some fantastic one-liners, it lacked focus, both in the comedy and the story. In particular, a misguided attempt to poke fun at Jesus never really landed, and a golden opportunity to juxtapose the horror of modern excesses with historical inequalities was missed.
Entertaining but flawed, there are worse ways to spend an hour.

Staging and acting for this show was great, along with some funny choreography. But the show seemed to lack focus, and I don't know what the point was, other than to say meth is good. It's some good eye candy, but even a sitcom needs a point. The show is saved by some high-energy actors, and some twisted uke songs I liked.

I have to give Travis Berg credit. Despite some amateurish acting and some shallow writing, there is a very original concept happening here. Andy Gullikson and Matt Briggs are tasty but the whole cast gave it everything they had. The energy flagged a bit in the second half but I admired the fearlessness of it. This wasn't just a bunch of kids acting up in public. This show had something to say about society, institutions and cat behavior. I take my hat off to you Travis!

The show isn't necessarily deep and meaningful, but it is creative and fun. Original script and original music played on a ukulele is just delightful and comical. Most of the cast played their parts very well and I appreciated the amount of hard work and passion put into this show. Professor Hotrail is quite the character and you just have to love his crazy excitement about the prospect of taking over the world with Meth! The ending kinda made me want to see the sequel. If you like ensemble pieces that combine basic creative theatrical elements with smart humor, this is a fun show!

I went to a play that had "time-traveling meth lab" in the title. What did I expect? Because, I think I got it? However, the actors were charming and talented. And, I wish more musicals would rely solely on a ukulele.
Meredith Larson is pleased to be returning for her second go as director for MTBL. In addition to directing for the Fringe, Meredith just finished writing and directing her first kid's show for Stages Theatre.

This marks Travis's third consecutive year in the Minnesota Fringe Festival. In 2012 he brought "Behind the Big Top" to the Southern Theatre and in 2011 he was an integral part of the fringe hit "Robot-Lincoln: The Revengeance!" Travis would like to thank Meredith, Hannah, His wonderful cast, and everyone else who helped make this show possible. He would also like to thank George Roesler and Meri Golden, the two people who brought him into the crazy world of theatre. Finally, he would like to thank meth for making this show all possible, for without it he would have to make fun of heroin, and that's just WAY out of bounds.
As a recent graduate from Minnesota State University, Mankato, Hannah is making her way in the Twin Cities theatre scene. Most recently she has worked with Climb Theatre on their 2013-2014 season. Her past Fringe shows include costuming for Behind the Big Top, and Robot Lincoln the Revengance; a Steampunk Musical. Her resume includes The Taffetas, The Gingerbread Lady, and Buzz. Hannah would like to thank her mother, father, sister, and Grandma Anamae for their never ending support and love. Last but not least Hannah would like to give special thanks Aaron.

Professor Hotrail and the Time-Travelling Meth Lab is Megan's second MN Fringe Festival design contribution, after her promo design and PR work on last year's Behind the Big Top. Enjoy the ride!
Andy Gullikson returns for another year of Fringe madness. While hiding away behind the scenes, Andy made his debut to the Minnesota Fringe Festival scene stage-managing The Selkie in 2010. He has since been a part of Astrolibrary; Robot Lincoln, the Revengeance; and Behind the Big Top, where he played Pinky the clown. More recently, Andy accompanied his lovely director in Human Combat Chess as Queen's Knight Pawn. Thanks goes to everyone who seeing our production; friends and family are wonderful, but an audience is the support that continues making theatre happen.
Joel Partyka has been delving into the performance arts for over a decade. You may have seen him in the past couple of years at fringe. In 2011 he appeared as The Kurgan in Highlander: The Musical. He followed that in 2012 with the role of Jerry in Behind the Big Top. He hopes that you utterly enjoy the show, for he finds the humor in almost anything, and to be able to find the lighter side of dark situations is a trait more people should have. To quote a great poet The Joker "Why so serious?" You just got bio'd
Alex Letsche is delighted to make his MN Fringe Festival debut.
