I have a tendency to get caught up in these sorts of events, especially writ so large. It's very grounding to be reminded of the reality of the situation, stripped of romantic narratives. http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2010/12/01/wikileaks/comment-page-1/#comment-1820 James Pyrich Wed, 01 Dec 2010 20:17:14 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1732#comment-1820 Thanks for your comments, Joey :) http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2010/12/01/wikileaks/comment-page-1/#comment-1819 Joey Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:47:31 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1732#comment-1819 Excellent stuff. I couldn't have put it better myself. "Real change starts when you make changes to your actions in your personal life. Going to therapy, getting good relationships, working to know yourself, acting with courage, being honest with yourself, acting in ways that evoke self-pride… these are the things that matter." I especially agree with that part. http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2010/02/19/you-are-not-googles-customer-feedback/comment-page-1/#comment-1808 James Pyrich Tue, 02 Mar 2010 06:28:17 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1622#comment-1808 Thanks for your comment! Sorry it took so long to get approved; maybe one day I will figure out what's wrong with the email on this blog. :) http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2010/02/19/you-are-not-googles-customer-feedback/comment-page-1/#comment-1807 heiko.cochius Sat, 20 Feb 2010 19:24:04 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1622#comment-1807 I was the facebook responder. I am here, finally! I agree completely with your response. You are certainly more knowledgeable than me in this respect, and with your addition I feel that all bases are covered. Thank you for your very insightful response. http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2009/11/07/out-from-under-the-knife/comment-page-1/#comment-1806 Joey Tue, 15 Dec 2009 01:52:23 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1584#comment-1806 I will likely experience surgery many more times in my life due to my disability. Right now things are looking good but I see a doctor who knows about my birth defect for monitoring. I'm a veteran of that experience but the thought of doing another surgery and spending more time in a lonely hospital room still frightens me. http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2009/11/07/out-from-under-the-knife/comment-page-1/#comment-1805 James Pyrich Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:08:27 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1584#comment-1805 Thanks for your sympathies Joey, I appreciate it. Will you have to experience any more surgery due to your condition if you don't have any more complications, or is that not really something you can hang your hat on? (I will say that I felt considerably worse after the anaesthesia and painkillers wore off, and then I slowly started to feel better.) http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2009/11/04/going-under-the-knife/comment-page-1/#comment-1804 James Pyrich Tue, 15 Dec 2009 00:06:52 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1580#comment-1804 I know it's been over a month but I wanted to thank you for your butt-sympathy... things are going well now, recovering just fine. :) As far as the isolation, it has been a negative experience for me, especially during the days prior to my conversation with Stef just before the surgery. Also, my childhood was marked by isolation, so it's not something that I'm willing to "strike a balance" with unless I discover that's a healthy and good thing for me to do. http://www.personalarchaeology.com/2009/11/07/out-from-under-the-knife/comment-page-1/#comment-1802 Joey Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:41:58 +0000 http://www.personalarchaeology.com/?p=1584#comment-1802 Sorry I missed this news by a few days. I'm glad it went well. I do know a lot about surgeries as I've spent most of my life in hospitals under the knife.
