White ......all consuming white ...........

I found white  ,not just the name ,or the beauty,    but    the absolutness     of    it.  I look at white, y head expands  ,taking it in  .I am calm and there's little lights sparkling -like you see at night    looking at the line of the horizon of night lights flickering over a calm dark sea.

I inhale white......white furniture ,white cotton sheets with soft pillow cases  ,my antique white ones  ,the ones that give me comfort for a night of floating . the ones that cover my soft ,soft pillows that I grab on to to centre my head ,the head that  rolls with the weird walk roll .

White sand ,   I coud look at it forever - shining ,shining white ,white , sand with the specks   of gold shimmering all the way to beyond .

Angels ,those ,cute littleangels    you buy    for a      treat I give mine to special little people ,so they can  have my white too ,to guide them xx

So many good and beautiful  things discovered .


My Floating isn't all bad ,

if I can have this .................

To Wake Up Singing ........

I guess sometimes my mornings weren't/aren't  all bad .......I  wake up singing  sometimes   ,more now as I'm not floating anymore (more about that sometime) .It is  my speaking in tongues thing I  guess,  but as I like singing and some say I   have quite  nice voice ,it doesnt really phase me ...I  know it seems strange but I  have learnt to embrace some of the  new me ,  otherwise where do I go ? me  I mean  ,getting lost in another side of personality is a confusing and scary place ,so I  guess to pick the good bits out is a healing thing to do .

I open my eyes, and out comes     ;hyla myla ,tyla seela ,effy nae nae  , ista tynae ,effaa nyla , ....see my own language ! and its sung in a tune of ..well I  know the tune and you all will to but don't know how   to write up the score ,  kinda like this  la laa la la , lala lala ,la la la laa ,la lala la laa laa lala over and over again for about 2mins? ,sorry it looks and sounds weird but I  think the weirdness is ,that it's the words ,I  mean who hasn't woken up singing  in their lives huh?   hey I'm  embarraseed looking at what I' ve written ,but its singing and no one hears me , /tiare wouldnt have a clue ,and I  never sing,I  whisper if I think someone may hear me .  Well now you all know~ but just think of me being okay with it and I  will be okay with you all thinking OMG . 

See the headaches are still there when I wake ,so a bit of calming singing is good for me  untill the meds kick in , the brain is a powerful ,thing ,and my brain ,my new ,or fixed brain shows me ways of coping ,  I loathe the bad heads ,but they are kept at bay all helped by little srtategies to let me live with the changes     .I love my brain now post op   ,  Lump you really were a pain in the ass!   .........


Causing Trouble .............


The Dairy Incident ...........I went to the dairy over the road ,like I  do at least once a day ,  (lollies !! )

Now remember  ,I  was getting things twisted as heck  ,anyway I  chose my lollies and went to pay ,  the dairy owner was on the phone an
d I  was waiting , ,now this is where the madness starts  , all of a sudden    I   thought I dont have the   right card ,and I  want some coffee,   and I  think I  need milk, and oh god   which bloody card have I  got .?  I   walked to get coffee ,I   had a browse at something  else  had a wee chat to someone walking past  ,dwadling really ..then went back to the counter ..he  started to   do the transaction   and I  whipped around ,put the lollies back and decided I   think,  to    go back and get more money ....I had coffee in my hand ? paid for and no lollies ...I   walked out of the shop and I heard him call me back...to ask did  I  pay for the lollies ....I  yelled      at him 'If    you weren't on the   bloody phone you would have been concentrating     and seen       I  put the lollies back,      you idiot and if you think I'm  coming back  to  your shop you have another think coming   he yelled'  good!    dont come back .' ..and I  came home and told   my flatemate  and tiare ,    they agreed with me I  was right to do what I    did ,,,,I  even  put it up on fb as a funny scene and saying I  was more than within my right s as he treated me so badly etc  and you all agreed too  !  .what you    dont know and what has come back to me ...he was actully waiting for me to make up my mind .....and I  guess he asked about the lollies as well,, I    guess he had every right to and he was probably soo over waiting for me .  Time goes in weird blocks for me even     now but it was worse then . I should      have wondered when tiare said to me what took you so long? I   said 'what ?I'd  only been there a few minutes ,it was more like almost half an hour ...............ps ....dairy people and I get on great again ...I  explained about the lump   they said they wondered if something was wrong ,he also apologised and yep  he WAS  wondering how much longer I   was going to be!


So there's a  big confession  ..........and sorry to all those who agreed with me ....lets blame the lump .....it wasn't me !

The thing at the end ........

This above all was my first "What the ? "   I think ....I   need to explain,   a lot of what I'm writing now is memories from now ,if that makes sense . I'm writing as something pops into my head  ,if i didn't write it there and then the thought s would be gone .  Nothing will really be in sequence   ,or then again it might !  are you beginning to see how this ole brain of mine works!    or     not   ! as the case may be .

See there I go ,going on.....nearly lost the thought   about the thing at the end   .

O f course its  my foot ,my little white foot! ..........................

I'm going up and down putting my hand up ,pulling pulling on air ,all my right side now has gone all airy  fairy waving and splitting ,  my god I  wanna wake up ,its pulling   too much ,wave, whisper ,wave ,whisper  ,rollling , whisper, whisper  ,whispe,r      WHISPER  ,I'm grabbing  my face twisting it down ,  ,it wont turn ,please please turn , ...now it' s heavy dragging me  down ,heavy so heavy ,I m opening my mouth trying to get air ...can't breathe ,come on ,please  let me go I   want to wake up ......

Could not move when    I  did for what seemed like ages...The Morning    thing ... I went to put my foot on the floor and I  felt nothing ,no feeling in it what so ever  ,I  tapped it ,I shook it ,I  asked what it was!!! ,it was really cold too ,but I  couldnt stand ,like trying one high shoe on ,and trying to walk   ,I think it only took a couple of minuites for it to get the feeling back ,and I think I had no more problems all that day ,but this happened most mornings after .untill the worst times when it became more random and not just after a night of floating .

The bowel bag blues ............


yep I was a bit weird anyway ,or this body of mine is . Looks horrible written doesn't it ? but  it's real  ,my life , my pain in the ass ......or stomach as the case may be

Aye ILEOSTOMY !

I started ignoring it of course .   Its on my right side with the arm of cellotape  ,the leg of plastic ,and the thing at the end


time to empty  ,   oh christ I don't know where the heck the s..t is suppossed to go

Tiare is waiting ,calling 'Mum hurry up'!

C an't show my  tears.

there it's done

it makes me sick .


Absolute puzzlement ,this thing hardly phased me ,I  coped so well  ,I just did what I did ,the only worry was having enough bags ,my standby ,change every 2 days ones.

but  I'd be twisted in my clothes ,the right didn't want me to fit my things.

A flash of night  floating comes to mind

the weird walk rolling and splitting of my head

I shake that off  ,I don't want to know  ..



School  Run  Time .........

I Can Hear Her, Him, Them ,They .........but...

Right ,they are talking  about how to do something,

mmm mmm mmm mmm

What shall we have for dinner?

mmm mmm mmm mmm

Oh yes I agree

mmm mmm mmm mmm

Nod your head Kim  ,Nod your bloody head ! ...there you go !  they are smiling --- Whew!

Don't pick up the cloth to clean !..look, you are a good listener . got a prize for it as school once .


mmm mmm mmm mmm


They look clown -like.     Mouths opening and closing .   Not being rude but they do....open close open close.

Imagine if there were four of them in a row...like those fairgrounds .

I hate fairgrounds ,but images are always in my head?

Strange

Where the music plays that creepy melody like they show on the movies .

You see an empty lot  with one lone merry-go-round in it's garish colours and one horse is going up and down in a moonlit beam .

Fairgrounds  Hmmm

Oh shoot they're getting up ! what have I said?!   

Whew they are smiling !

I did good .............


Day Time .......When the Coffee Cup Moves .......

There they are.......the little soldiers

March  march march march 

My wee ant army watching me standing there ,watching them, watching my coffee , watching
 the sugar bowl .....watching me !

Little white dots All Over the bench top

I start making rivers in the white crystal sand with  the USELESS  teaspoon lying there like a big steel fly-over  giving them a helping hand .

yep go on ,march   ,march ,  march    march

I know you tip it all over the place just to annoy me .


Coffee's  Cold   Again  ..

A float with the Mostest

Coming thick and fast now ,memories of my floating ,it's like greeting an old friend ..a horrible pain in the  butt old friend but familiar in a; being stuck in a fog again, and finding my way back type way .

We were flying ,but my hand  ,the right hand kept slipping from his  ,I was rollling, walking ,you know like the hunch back of Notre Dam(sp)  he was running  running ,  kept looking back ,and staring at something over my  left shoulder ...the sense of urgency to follow him was so strong,  but my  head started the roll ,  I  had to pull it together ,  I'd split again ....he hadnt noticed ...........I cry .......theres a corner coming up ,   I   cant turn right ,  I  yell in my head 'I' ll fall! '   he' s like a panther now ,his outline is a blur ...hes got my hand but not me  ...... I 'm swirling so much ,  like a fairground  Spinning top  , but no colours, just whirs   of black, white,  and grey .....thank goodness . ,colours hurt ...he's all white like marble   ,hair   black ,  hair   flying back ....he's beautiful     ...and gone ......always  goes and I  float to the top    to the left ,  to the left  ........to grab my dream of my Mill .

A Morning , some mornings , all mornings? ? lots of mornings .........

My pillows weren't right , I could feel it as soon as the alarm did its beeping thing , my head,weird angle how that used to happen,    I don't know  , always made me think of that song 'To the left ,to the left ' god knows what it said after those words but yeah to the left  to the left ......  reaching around to my pillows ...god what a miission .....I  only had to use my arm ,but it was always stuck ..I dont know somewhere just stuck ....wave the arm  ,which one ?

Floating .......Away from Me ........

I decided today that I am ready to write about my brain tumour ,who  I will call the lump  untill I  have explained more about it .


I floated you know, every night for weeks and weeks ' First remembered time' ...........Imagine lying in bed and closing your eyes and you start, like whispers ,a wee  roll then another  and another ,untill all  the whispery rolls are merging to become like waves and then you are floating ...... I put my hand  up to stop it , but now my head has almost split to the left so one eye  is up and one is down ..like an  alien being  ,  my hand is waving over my head now ,I' m  dancing ,quite beautifully too ,,  now I' ,m rolling to my side and my left side lines up ! yay symetry again ........ but the left is feeling like a tidal wave now and I  struggle to lie flat ....flat  means no floating  for  AGES ..  I can breathe slowly and wait
 for the next  whisper ,but eyes wide open ......Its 11 05  pm ,I  last looked at the clock  at 11 PM .... ..It can't be  .....I was  that all night surely? the floating ..it was a nice dream!!!   I was dancing .
