"SEVEN DAYS IN PURGATORY"
It Was Monday...The 19th Of June...Round About 930 Am.....As Nam Woke Up...And Got Out Of Bed....................And As He Always Does....He Heads Straight To The Bathroom...Which Is Right Next To His Bedroom.....
He Opens His Bedroom Door...But Being That Hes Still Half Asleep....He Doesnt Get His Head Out Of The Way Of The Bedroom Door Being Opened...And....Of Course.... It Collides With His Head
And Thats All He Can Remember....Its Assumed He Was Knocked Out....And Then... Gravity.... Did Its Job From There
He Was Found Where He Layed...(Hes Awfully Glad He Had His Underwear On At Least)
His Son Finds Him Some Hours Later...Tries To Wake Him Up...When That Doesnt Work...He Throws A Bowl Of Water On Him
Still No Response..From There?...Its The Ambulance Being Called
(Usually...Because His Son Is An Over The Road Driver As He Is...His Son Wouldnt Be There)
(But Fortunately...Because Of A Closing On A House His Son Was Buying... Was In That Same Week...His Son Was Around)
(Other Wise..Good Ole Nam...Wouldve Layed There For At Least A Couple Of Days...As His Son Usually Doesnt Get Back Til.... At The Least ..... Wednesday Evening)
Now...For Just A Minute...I Want You All To Realize Something...That You Havnt Realized As Of Yet
All Of You People...Everybody In The World For That Matter...Knew That I Had Fallen Down
Everybody Knew My Son Had Found Me...And That I Was In The Hospital
Imagine That...Everyone Knew What Happened to Me...Long Before I Ever Did....I Only Found Out What Happened After I Had Woke Up And Said..."What Ta Hell Is Going On...Why Am I Here?!"
And The Doctors Tells Me... Ive Been In A Coma For 7 Days!!!
On Friday Evening..The Doctors All Concluded... That I Could Go Home
(Of Course Nam... Giving Them A Consistent Hard Time Contributed To His Release)
(Id Say They Were Over Joyed.... To See The Back Of Him)
The Last Thing The Doctor Said To Me Was... That Sometimes..There Are Things That Happen..That Cant Be Explained By Medical Science......As In My Case
(So In Reality...Not Knowing It...I Was In Purgatory For Seven Days...Seems The Purgatorians... Couldnt Arrive At A Decision Of Where I Should Be Going...Or What To Do With Me..So...I Guess.... They Sent Me Back)...And Here I Am
Anyway..A Very Special Thanks To Miss Itchy Witch...For Her Sixth Sense...And For The Two Blogs She Put Up
As You Can See..One Can Be On The Other Side Of The World...And Still Know That Something Isnt Right With Someone That Is Far Far Away
Of Course...Being A Witch...And A Pisces...Kind Of Helps Out Id Say
Anyways.... Id Like to Thank All Of The Below...For Their Concern

I am just very glad to see you back.
I don't believe I posted on Itchy's very thoughtful blog, but I was surprised and very concerned along with many others here when I learned the news, immediately saying some prayers for you.
So those who missed you and are glad you are well again may number more than you think (among the silent ones.)
Have a wonderful one,
Calm
Glad you are back...and above all else...healthy....
Glad to see you're back & in one piece

You see Nam,
I live alone in my house.. and I am getting older. Except the front door and the gate, I keep all other doors, including the bathroom door, open AT ALL TIMES, even when I am taking a bath. It's better that way, at least I will be safe from getting collided with any room doors.. and if something bad happens to me, it will be easier to get me out and take me to a hospital..
It's good that your son was there.
Oh by the way, I think I owe you this..
There! You can have them all.. to give you an extra energy.

Good to see you again
What I'd like to know is what did you REALLY see while in coma? 7 days is a long time for a bang on the head.
I've had several bangs on my head and 2 of them where I lost consciousness but only for a couple of minutes...During which time I saw things...nice things.
Hope all goes good for full recovery
Although I don't really get most of your blogs and your way of writing is a bit... ummm.. peculiar. Nevertheless you certainly are an integral part of the CA blogging family and were missed.
Here's to everyone's good health!
Your back!...
What ta hell...glad your here...
Sounds like you gave them what for in the hospital...
Blog on Nam...
Hope there are no longtime-Effects from that Bump!
Delighted to see you back, this place just wasn't the same without you rambling on
sending you the best for a full recovery
Ramble on
Glad to see you back....Do what you do best.
Glad to hear you are out of the hospital! I'm sure it was the last place you anticipated being.
We were all worried about you, since you are always posting blogs.
You were missed by many of us!
My thoughts and prayers are with you on your road to recovery!
Keep On Blogging Nam!
