- GREAT TUNES COME FROM BROKEN HEARTS!

Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood on Yahoo! Music
This is such an EXCELLENT tune!! Although not a big country fan, I have to say? When I first heard this I was just blown away!! WOW! The songwriting is INCREDIBLE!! GO CARRIE!!
Just the inspiration I needed to go ahead with a colab. I have had on the "bacK burner" called "Laugh it up" although still a work in progress? Here is live at http://djev.dmusic.com VERY SPEICAL thanks going out to Perkie (Bass over Forty) for her INCREDIBLE voice, to Bluenevus, for the outstanding tunes, and for life itself for the trials that it brings to write songs from our broken hearts!
I dedicate "Laugh it up" to Randy and Jane....YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!
Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone!I hope everyone is doing well and is in good health and getting ready for Thanksgiving!I am sorry I haven't returned any phone calls or kept up on my blog for awhile, but it has been an interesting weekend and last week was pretty bad for me so I will start there.I just got home today from the hospital from having emergency back surgery on my spine on Saturday. Please excuse my spelling it is really painful to sit for very long so I took some pain pills before heading over to the computer.. (Haha Arlee)It all started last week, actually a week ago today, when my back started hurting really bad. I thought it was kind of soon for the Epidural Pain Block to be wearing off that I had done on September 29th. So I just thought to myself, I will reschedule, no big deal. The next day. Tuesday got even worse. I started having spasms that were so bad, I swore if I had ONE MORE I would just black out!!! They were bad. Calling my primary care doctor, he didn't really do much, and the pain medication he was calling in was nothing more then hyped up asprin...UG!! I think the new doctors now adays think the entire world are drug addicts...LOL! But anyways, the spasms got worse and worse, and I just couldnt takeit much more!Well, to back up even more, I have been walking on a walker for some time, just not told anyone, and didnt want anyone to worry. I also have had the best PCA (Personal Care Assistant) in the world helping me a few hours each day just starting recently. Well when she came that morning, she noticed some blisters on my back.See, I had been doing the ice on for a few then hot on for a few, and fell asleep in my comfy recliner with heating pad on low, which resulted in a few blisters. Of course with my right butt cheek bumb and my entire left leg numb I couldnt feeel anything. Kathy was worried and took me off to the E.R. From there off to my scheduled appoint for another pain block, but not before getting an MRI set up for the very next day. At the pain block, (DR.WARD is the best!! Gotta love a Dr who will go our to his car and grab a John Coltrane CD to play during the procedure for you...lol) he decided to do what is known as a Cagel Epidural Steroid Block, almost at my tail bone. Then the next day early in the morning, my PCA took me to the MRI.After the MRI was preformed, everyone there was looking kind of strange, I remember saying to Kathy, something just isnt right. I was told to go on home and call Dr. Ward in an hour. Well, no sooner did I get home, then my phone rang with one of his burses telling me that I needed to get back to the E.R asap to meet up with Dr. Vangilder, and he would explain what was going on. I was worried then, and asked her if I was going to be admitted, she said she would call right back, in the meantime I called back my PCA and I told her I needed to go back to the ER, ASAP! So Dr. Ward's nurse called back to tell me I would probably be admitted. This scared me even more!!!SO off to the E.R we go, soon to folloe was Dr. Vangilder, who examanied me, sent me for a cat scan to be sure I didnt have a stroke, and then came back to tell me, that I had a severely herniated disk, pushing agaist all the nerves in my spinal cord and suurgery was the best route to go! I just couldnt believe it! The other options were I could stay like this and live with it, but if I did that it could get worse! So he admitted me to Benefis East, for surgery the next morning.My surgery scheduled for 7:30 AM on a Saturday morning was weird to me, I have never seen a dr do surgery on a Saturday, and my doctors were awesome!! All the way around!! I was late getting in there, and I remember going in at about 8:45, and less her heart, my PCA came in on her day off to be with me that morning! She stayed all the way up until she heard from the dr. I was in surgery for 4 hours!! I woke up in recovery 5 minuted after I got there, at 10 til 1. I usually come out of it pretty fast and this time I did too. But in ALOT OF PAIN! Moved back up to my floor, they hooked me up to a morphine pump. That is where every 10 mon I could puch a button and have morphine come thru my iv. No, no happy juice for me! Just took the edge off the pain!!...They made me get up and try to walk later that night which was a bad idea this just made me have very bad spasms, and I was up most of that night trying to just make them go away. No Pain managemnt for that I have to say!! But Doctor Vangolder said my leg will be numb for a while as it heals, and to not worry. So, here I am at home. My butt to my knee is still numb, it is difficult to get around I must say, and when your are used to being independant, it makes it harder.!! Thank you to Mike Hunter for bringing me floweres and chocolates, and to Markie for calling me all the way from the Netherlands! and especially to my PCA Kathy, who is more then just my PCA, she is my best friend!! She is there when noone else is!! God Bless Her!!!So, thats it! Sorry so long of a letter, I typed fast becuase I am not supposed to sit, It is not comfortable. One more thing the Dr. saw, is that my Degenerative Disc Disease is geetting really bad, so this could be the first of many surgeries on my back, I am hoping not! But only the Lord KNows. I am still on my walker, and possibly a wheel chair for longer distances. So, that is where I have been !So If it takes me a little longer to get back to you all for emails or return your calls you now know why. Im not moving very fast these days. I didnt even tell my daughter as to I didnt want her to worry at all or be mad. But she probably is cuz I didnt tell her. My mom and uncle know though. I called them from the hospitalOk well, my back is very sore, more later!! ok_ take care of each other and much much love to you all!!!!Keep in touch!!God Bless!!Lots of love,EveHomepage: www.thoughtsdreamsfeelings.com"Courage does not always roar.

- Hurricane Katrina, Sad, Angry, and Prayer! -August 31, 2005
-
Today I write in saddness at watching C.N.N all day; taking a break from the computer for the most part until now and watching helpless as millions of people cope with Hurricane Katrina. The other part of me, is anger and disgust at the President, in knowing that unlike the Tsunami, which had no warning, THIS DISASTER, that will go down in history as THE WORST in our nation's history, had a week or more of notice!!! As he sat on Vacation ( from what???) In Texas, in his comfy vacation home, as these poorest of poor people, fought for ways to to get to the Super Dome, many with no way of getting there, no cars, no money, sat hopeless and hung on to whatever they could!
Im angry!!! That HE DID NOT send these ships, these crews, UNTIL TODAY!! 48 hours later??? WHY!?
As soon as that storm passed, he should've been on this! I can see why these people are upset! Many of them dying on I-10 as reporters zip by, news choppers fly over! Hey , PUT DOWN THE CAMERAS AND HELP OUT!
Amazing are some of these people that are saying, "IM STAYING RIGHT HERE!" refusing to leave whats left of their communites, refusing to leave THEIR OWN!
I cannot say, in that situation, I could do that, Thank God, I am not forced to do so, but my prayers are to those who are! I cannot say enough about those people, who are doing this! God knows what will become of them, but they are staying to help each other out.
Seeing news reporters ask these people what they are going to do, seemed to almost fuel my anger today, as I watched hopelessly, I was almost SCREAMING at my television, "HEY GIVE HIM/HER A RIDE!!!"
Then this brings me back to our president, he fly's over head, 5000 ft, does he stop?? NO! WHY NOT! How on EARTH, can he just keep going? HOW COULD ANYONE!!??
6000 National guard are in Iraq that would be OTHERWISE there to help with the efforts, what for?
almost 1000 people died today in Iraq, America lost the entire gulf coast, and then some.
President Bush, now MORE THEN EVER, get the picture?
I cry as I write this, tears of frustration, tears of saddness, tears of helplessness!!!!!
May US as citizens of this United States of America become UNITED and give until it hurts to the Red Cross.
I pray NONE of us never have to see a hurricane, or loose a loved one to this kind of natural disaster! I pray that there are people this strong, like those there in Lousianna, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida to hold on to life and not give up until someone gets to them. I pray for the people, with loved ones dead at their feet on that freeway!
I pray..... GOD BE WITH THEM!!......AMEN!
