Over the next few days I will be posting excerpts from my hospital stay that for the most part are hidden on this blog as they represent me at my darkest. I will add to these my hospital notes which I received last Friday.

I want to do these this because as time goes on I want to have a record of my time in the hospital, my fears, my sorrow, and finding the light in the darkness. My friend Scott Petersen once shared with me the original Green Lantern Oath, I share it with you now. “And I shall shine my light into the dark places, for evil can not stand the light! its not as peppy as In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape my sight, let those who worship evils might beware my power, Green Lanterns light. But the original has stuck with me over the years, its part of who I am without ever realizing I need to know who I was.

So without further adieu I give you my posting pulled from my old blog written in wee hours of the morning on June 27th 2016, a day that would change my life dramatically.

“Well True Believers, here I go, off to get my cancer surgery, Dr. Clohisy seems to have a good handle on this, he says its about a 14-16 hour surgery and they will likely keep me sedated through the night afterward so I’m not waking up in the dark. Mrs. ZM has a bunch of people who will be coming in and out keeping her occupied. Little ZM is staying with my folks for a couple days while I’m dealing with this. I may still make convergence this year, but its not likely, but I should be walking in a couple weeks. I’ll blog more when I can,

And as the song says, Even though it all went wrong, I will stand before the lord of song with nothing on my breath but Hallelujah.
