Back from the Emergency Room-The Prophetess is better

[EstimatedProphet]

She doubled up on the vicodin earlier (doctor's permission) and it gave her nausea-and the pain still wouldn't go away. So, we went to the ER. Turns out the doctor had the same issue as her a few months ago, and had surgery to correct it, which it did. He gave her a Demerol shot, and put her on steroids and a different painkiller. She's finally, blissfully, asleep. It's been days.

I sang to her in the ER while we were waiting:

"Ripple"

Words by Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia.
("Ripple" composed and written by Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter. Reproduced by arrangement with Ice Nine Publishing Co., Inc. (ASCAP))

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music
Would you hold it near as it were your own?

It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air

(Chorus)

Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of men

There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone

(Chorus)

You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall you fall alone
If you should stand then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way I would take you home

I just wanted to thank you all for the kind wishes. They really mean a lot to her., so, if I can ask: post a song for her. I know it will make her feel better.

[Left Is Write]

1. Poor Prophetess. This is for her...

You've Got A Friend In Me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you

Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

[philosophie_en_rose]

2. Doctors have come from distants cities, just to see me

Doctors have come from distants cities, just to see me
Stand over my bed, disbelieving what they're seeing

They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
No explanation

Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
They reach into my head to steal, the glory of my story

I believe, fate, fate smiled
And destiny laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience, and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way

People see me I'm a challenge to your balance
I'm over your heads how I confound you
And astound you
To know I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
No explanation

Ooo, I believe, fate, fate smiled
And destiny laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as she came to my mother
Know this child will not suffer
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way

3. If You Break Down

If You Break Down

from The Speed of Trees

by Ellis Paul

If there comes a day
where you wish the clocks
could roll backwards
in the cover of night
you're begging the stars to stay
asking satellites
to stop and help you remember
how to picture the world
before everything had changed

If you break down
I'm at your shoulder
Take me at my word
You can break down
I will tell you over and over
A reliable sound is coming around
If you break down
A reliable sound,
I'm coming round
If you break down

If fear comes without invitation
and lays its head
in the green within your eyes
if it's paralyzing
I will wake you
We will walk a thousand paces
walk away, walk away
till you are walking on your own

If you break down
I'm at your shoulder
Take me at my word
You can break down
I will tell you over and over
A reliable sound is coming around
If you break down
A reliable sound,
I'm coming round
If you break down

[Bombero1956]

8. hope she's doing better

my wife had surgery last Wednesday and they gave her Percocet after 2 days it made her nauseous. Called the doctor and he gave her an anti nausea drug. I checked the side affects and it said it may cause nausea. :wtf:

[EstimatedProphet]

17. She is doing much better now

The Demerol had an anti-nausea adjunct too, which helped a lot.

[China_cat]

4. Same group, same authors

In the attics of my life, full of cloudy dreams unreal.
Full of tastes no tongue can know, and lights no eyes can see.
When there was no ear to hear, you sang to me.

I have spent my life seeking all that's still unsung.
Bent my ear to hear the tune, and closed my eyes to see.
When there were no strings to play, you played to me.

In the book of love's own dream, where all the print is blood.
Where all the pages are my days, and all the lights grow old.
When I had no wings to fly, you flew to me, you flew to me.

In the secret space of dreams, where I dreaming lay amazed.
When the secrets all are told, and the petals all unfold.
When there was no dream of mine, you dreamed of me.

[BikeWriter]

5. Here's wishing her a speedy recovery!

-Artist: Nat King Cole

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

[miss_american_pie]

10. I hope she feels better soon

Fix You

when you try your best but you don't succeed
when you get what you want but not what you need
when you feel so tired but you can't sleep
stuck in reverse

and the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

high up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but if you never try, you'll never know
just what you're worth

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
tears stream down your face
and I...

tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
tears stream down your face
and I...

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

[EstimatedProphet]

11. She was up for a few minutes a little while ago

I showed her this thread, and she said thank you everyone.

[jpgray]

12. I wish you all the best

You are two of the best people on DU, and I hate to see any hurt come to either of you. You can expect your crappy portrait within a few days, so cheer up! :D

[RevCheesehead]

13. I think the Prophetess is a very fortunate woman....

to have someone as loving and caring as you in her life.

:hug::hug::loveya::loveya: for both of you!

[Zomby Woof]

14. Wishing for her full recovery

We'll keep the good vibes coming...

[Whoa_Nelly]

15. Thanks for the update, EP

Intense and unrelenting pain is more difficult to deal with than words can explain, and even harder to understand is the nightmare of fright, uncertainty and unexpected moments.

Hope she sleeps deeply and well this go 'round.

So glad she has you to be by her side.

[jonnyblitz]

16. I wish her the best!

:thumbsup: :hi:

[Floogeldy]

18. I feel powerless.

Love to you both.

[EstimatedProphet]

19. Thanks

Things are looking up though.

20. "Ain't No Sunshine"

(I prefer the Van Morrison version. Check your email.)

Ain't No Sunshine"
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.

Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

[WCGreen]

21. You are....

The man....

I hope she gets better real soon....

I live with pain, but not on that scale...

It wears you down...

[In_The_Wind]

22. I'm glad she's better. I missed your earlier thread about this.

Get some rest. She'll need you in the morning.

[KitchenWitch]

23. Healing vibes to the Prophetess!

Pain and nausea suck.

[Strong Atheist]

24. Glad there is light at the end of the tunnel. A song:

"Song Sung Blue"

(As recorded by Neil Diamond)
NEIL DIAMOND

Song sung blue, everybody knows one
Song sung blue, every garden grows one
Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
You sing 'em out again

Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it get to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again

Song sung blue, weeping like a willow
Song sung blue, sleeping on my pillow
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know it start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

Song sung blue
Song sung blue
Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice.
