live stretch

Genna got a stretchy leg today. It's the same purple as my Honda, and the same as her nighty. Cerebral palsy is associated with hypertonal and shortened extensor muscles and tendons. A bit of botulism toxin injected into the gastrocs to relax them, and later on a few weeks of serial casting in forced flexion to re-stretch out the affected bits allows her to keep up with her twin sister again, for a few months at least.


My best mate Bravus does not enjoy whistling in the wind and needs the support of the masses to ensure its worthwhileness. Abraham had a visit from the Lord re: Sarah the post menopausal matriarch, and the destruction of Sodom et al. The Lord allowed the fire and brimstone bargaining to drop as low as ten, but still the show went on. Bravus is satisfied with a moderated six to continue his broadcasting, and that makes me happy also. I had three different blogs before this one. Two of these were unchartered atolls in the vast virtual extraweb ocean whose readers numbered zero that I knew of, and that was good. Search engines spoil a bunch of things, including anonymity. Gordon (both before and after we knew him by that name) is a hero of mine in that he gave me some of the ammunition I needed to fight a battle against the dark side (i.e depression). It was a combination of lifting my self back up by own bootstraps, realizing that by myself I could do nothing, and that the place I had got to was a state of mind only. Sounds contradictory I know but it worked well - you need to have been there. I wonder what disassociated agnostic theism actually is? - I thought it meant practicing what you preached live. I did get to visit my friend in the psych unit finally - he's cool, I hope the danger time is past.
