March 16 An Anniversary of Sorts
Long and Winding Road
By: - Mar 16th, 2022At seven AM, March 16, 20221 my friend Michael drove me to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield. Along the way he told truly terrible jokes to distract me from major surgery for severe spinal stenosis. It entailed five vertebrae. Thankfully, the next three days were a blur and I was out of my gourd on oxy. In rehab/ slammer there was a homeless woman camped in my room with her daughter. They ordered pizza but wouldn't share. That now seems so long ago and far away.
