After Live Earth


I could not move without feeling pain somewhere (or everywhere) after our Live Earth Concert Watching Party (more on this FM phenomenon later). So I'm just now getting to continue this thread on the Live Earth events.

Our party went well. I think fun was had by all, good food was eaten, good drinks were drank, no one got drunk, and we learned a little bit about our environment too.

I think the whole concert organization and communication to the world (my part of it anyway) was and is phenomenal! Today, a mere four days after the event, we can point and click and apparently watch and listen to anything from the whole 24 hour world-wide event. Incredible.

Here are a few sites that look good from the "after" perspective:

Keith Urban featuring Alicia Keyes--just watch the first song, Gimme Shelter, and you'll get it. Need I say: TURN IT UP?

I was looking for what I call a "Jimi Hendrix - Woodstock - Star Spangled Banner" moment and John Mayer doing "Gravity" came as close as anything. But I haven't seen the whole thing yet so I reserve the right to change my mind.

Lest I be accused of discrimination on the basis of sex, next post I will use photos of all women. Also next post I'll explain the connection between this blog and Live Earth.

On the issue of whether or not global warming is happening, my brother Steve is apparently declining to comment by not commenting. Unusual for him. To not comment, that is. Steve is the person who coined the term "The Sky Is Falling Party" previously mentioned by me in this blog, to describe our Live Earth Concert Watching Party. This is the site Steve recommended to me on this subject awhile ago when I was first starting to look into the whole Al Gore, An Inconvenient Truth book and movie: "Human-Caused Global Warming Slight So Far", from the Answers In Genesis website.

The Official Live Earth Blog pretty well sums it up. Take a look. And please
I want to you care, to combat climate change on a personal level, to sign the Live Earth Pledge, and to help to spread the word over the years to come.

Marisol Maldonado "comes out" of the autoimmune closet with husband Rob Thomas' hit song & video "Her Diamonds" - check it out; it's way cool

Watch the music video Rob Thomas - New Music - More Music Videos I think Marisol Maldonado has taken a very brave step, career-wise, to come out like this about her autoimmune disease. Being a model is a very physical profession and as those of us with ICI know, coming out at work, any kind of work, is a big deal. I'd like to send her a really big thank you for raising awareness of autoimmune disease in general. I wonder what the song/video title means? Her Diamonds. And she says ooh I can't take no more Her tears like diamonds on the floor And her diamonds bring me down 'Cause I can't help her now Losing her sparkle? Here's what Rob Thomas says about it: The album’s first single, the kaleidoscopic “Her Diamonds,” is the most personal song Thomas has yet committed to disc. Rob’s wife Marisol is courageously battling an autoimmune disease, and “Her Diamonds” was written “about a couple dealing with that on a day-to-day basis,” explains Thomas. “There’s an incre

Herniated cervical disc - Oh my!

Image
A couple of blog posts ago I mentioned the results of recent MRIs of my neck and brain ( What do The Tough do when they get ANOTHER ICI diagnosis (or two*) ? ). Last month I had an appointment with a spine specialist to see what might be done about the herniated cervical disc diagnosis that was made from the MRI of my neck. This doctor seemed like a nice guy, and after about 10 minutes and $280 he had me convinced that my next step should be to have the herniated disc replaced with an artificial one. He started rattling off information after we exchanged pleasantries; lucky for me I knew to have pen and paper handy, and I can translate rattle into scribble pretty well. To his credit, he used mostly words that I could understand, or at least spell. He did a short exam on my hands and arms and said good - no loss of strength. Then he told me about something called "anterior cervical discectomy", an operation performed on the upper spine to relieve pressure on one or more ner

Nerve Damage on the Vaginal Cuff After Total Hysterectomy

 Here's the link to the actual article describing my experience:  https://medium.com/@SherrilLynn/nerve-damage-to-the-vaginal-cuff-after-total-hysterectomy-6d9a2e576f15 .     This has happened to me and I can find virtually NOTHING written about it, except the pain filled pleas of other women it has happened to, looking for answers as to why this has happened to them and what they can do about it.  I'm going to start a place for other women who have and are experiencing Nerve Damage to the Vaginal Cuff after a total hysterectomy (as far as I can tell there's no cure and nothing to do about it but pain management) to publish their stories here on the ICIE blog.  A collection of experiences of women who have Nerve Damage to the Vaginal Cuff (I'm going to shorten it to NDVC since no one in the medical field has deigned to give a name to this diagnosis), after a total hysterectomy.  I'm pretty sure there are quite a few of us out there but no one has counted so who k
