We're all born mad
Sadly, no: It's all weirdly cartoon-festooned "nurse mumus with pants" + Nike~New Balance training footwear + clownish headscarves + way way way too much snacking ... and it shows. I do believe that since my childhood @ The Sixties, the average Lady Nurse in the 21st century is twice the weight of the former or male ... never saw that in the old days.This is truly beautiful. I might whip out one of my many guitars and see what plonk-plonks out, though it better be good to keep up with this.
Truly enjoyable. Hey @Quadman2 I know you're a fan of poetry. Give this a read.
Are cute candystripers still a thing??

Well Sir. no worries about the beard or hair length, as you apparently missed my memo to you last yr. that you won the impromptu Rip Van Winkle contest !
After ~ 8 yrs. of continuous growth on both, 12/10/24 I had both wacked off.
Truly sorry to hear of your illness. Best wishes for a full recovery.
Keep fighting, you have a lot of folks thinking of you.
Thank you for sharing.
Excellent beard !

Mama survived four different types of cancer between 1995 and 2002 and she died last year aged 97.
She never considered to give up.
You are not just a great AK member, you are a great person. Brave as Mama. Wishing you the very best!

Your poem has beauty both in form, and with carefully chosen words to share your personal belief of existence, being coloured by the physical condition that you have been dealing with over the years... sharing a sense of hope. 
Your choice of Man's first "discovery", so well allows you the ability to communicate existentially how life plays out, and to focus on our different parts we play.
I do indeed hope that some one with musical talent will be able to transcribe and transfer your valid thoughts that helps give insight into what you wanted to say about "life" and the "afterlife"!
We are ALL on the same path as you my friend, ETL. Some are ahead of you...others following.
You've enriched our lives by reaching out at this point in your life, helping us in turn to deal with our existences and the need to appreciate what is good. You are in our hearts, man.
God bless,

Yep. Can't take them with me though, they gotta stay here.
In this case, and from all the prayers ever to cross my lips, I think HE has been listening long time.
My sincere condolences to the neck warmer and exercise rug that kept your head grounded and nose clearly out of flight paths, you're a good man.
I'm still not letting mine go yet.
I need an air filter for the esophagus apparently.
When I came in, I'm wearing my sleeveless custom T shirt I made for this occasion.
Cremation is my last hope for a smoking hot body.
In this picture, I'm about 277 pounds.
Yesterday I'm at 74 pounds lighter at 203.
That procedure has not taken place as of yet. I had the trachea or as I call it... neck-hole done two days ago, no speaking is hell, then I got the feeding tube thing done yesterday. So far no stuck French fries, or as THEY say...not none on order so don't go there...
Tomorrow will probably be the day or start countdown. When they saw it, it wasn't much choice other than start digging, or start digging with surgical tools instead of backhoe.
My wife is a 32 year vet. Says all the new girls want to do is be on their phone, and Doordash some 1500 calorie meal.
Your description is absolutely spot-on.
