Your Prayers Please for MOTUS AD
byVanderleunonAugust 7, 2022
[Clairifcation: I am fine. I was calling for prayers for MOTUS (item at the link below)who has been undergoing some extreme moments in the battle against cancer. Prayers there please. Repeat: I’m fine. I regret this item was not clearer. — Gerard]
MOTUS A.D.: In The Infamous Words Of Rosana Rosana Dana, “It’s Always Something” || reports:I was admitted at 11:00 pm Monday, 12 hours after arriving at the ER, dripped until Wednesday evening at which time I was determined to have reached a “therapeutic” level of blood thinner. I was released and sent home with oral blood thinners which will be a permanent addition to my drug protocol. I was happy to relinquish my room to some poor soul still lying on a stretcher in a hallway somewhere .
I was initially told that the clot could have caused heart damage due to the excess pressure it placed on the heart, but they seem to have determined that was not the case, thankfully. Once again, I owe a huge thank you to everyone here who has been soliciting the Good Lord on my behalf. I am truly grateful, thankful and blessed for your continuing prayers.
Dirk,
MOTUS has a brain tumor. She has been one of my daily stops for a long time. Great gal and much wittier than I. See Gerard’s link to MOTUS AD.

I suffered through the same thing … and got through it with some help from above. The long-term cost is being a lifer on 120mg lovenox injections twice a day with a continued risk of PE from DVT. Had a couple already. Not fun. Hoss Cartwright died of one. No warning signs to speak of.
Doctors told me I had a 40% chance of coming out of surgery; not much better getting through 8 months of chemo. My short-term memory is shot; I don’t remember most of that period.
I’m not seeking pity or sympathy; I’m an example of literally crossing a valley of death and coming out the other side. It can happen; it was almost 20 years ago for me, even the insurance companies think I’m “cured”. Not convinced I do though.
K, I only survived a nearly fatal case of sepsis. I never came all the way back. Part of my mind is gone, but maybe it wasn’t that great of a part. I am having way more fun now.
God bless you.
And like everyday, I commend our beloved friend MOTUS to the Lord of Heaven and earth.

Oh, I hope it’s not time for her to meet her Lord just yet.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Prayers out. Gerard do you need anything.
I regret not having been clear enough. But I shall take y our prayers and pass them to MOTUS.
So very glad to know that you are ok and I’m praying for you. Take good care of yourself.
You’re a good man, Jack. Thanks.
Get well!
Thank you. I am sorry I was not clearer above, but thank you just the same.
Prayers are with you. Getting old sucks sometimes but it beats the alternative.
Thank you for the love. I am fine. I made a mistake in the item.
If your not sick, who is?
