Pretty in pink

On reels it had music clearly I’m not a master of this newfangled technology

Saturday afternoon combo: Aspen vista collar & HFNC ((high flow nasal cannula))

Perfect lazy Saturday set up… Notice anything new?

Sunday scene

A soft collar, oxygen, some braces & coffee. Perfect morning.

Oxygen ASMR

Woke up with a migraine this morning and decided to hook up my oxygen concentrator for a treatment. Feeling better after that and some meds.

ME:

Oxygen

Everything needs it: bone, muscles, and even,

while it calls the earth its home, the soul.

So the merciful, noisy machine

stands in our house working away in its

lung-like voice. I hear it as I kneel

before the fire, stirring with a

stick of iron, letting the logs

lie more loosely. You, in the upstairs room,

are in your usual position, leaning on your

right shoulder which aches

all day. You are breathing

patiently; it is a

beautiful sound. It is

your life, which is so close

to my own that I would not know

where to drop the knife of

separation. And what does this have to do

with love, except

everything? Now the fire rises

and offers a dozen, singing, deep-red

roses of flame. Then it settles

to quietude, or maybe gratitude, as it feeds

as we all do, as we must, upon the invisible gift:

our purest, sweet necessity: the air.
