  Journal Hammster

Marty has taken a big step, and is recovering from life altering surgery. This page is for our friends to see daily updates on Marty's journey. ( I stole this picture! I re-sized it and changed it's resolution. I'm so darn fun!)

I met Marty at the Tripod chats about a year ago. At first I wasn't sure I'd like this person calling himself, 'bsplayer'. It sounded like a weird name. He explained it was for bass player. Very different than what my nasty mind was thinking. It didn't take me long finding that most of the chatters visiting Marty's chats were very bright, funny people.

Now, a year later, Karen, Cindy, Daniel, Rozelma, Rickk,.HollowPride, Keira, gth, Cassie, Chuck, CrimsonRose, mindy, marsha, jing, dmarie, marsha, sodapop, Bud, Aleshia, TimP, maggie, dj, Gina CindyF, nineve, cali, aly, Susan, Collin and anyone I may have missed, all are concerned with Marty's progress.

I was running log events as they occurred on this page. Now, I've decided to use it as an explanation of events leading to the jump to the journal.

Thanks for all your caring for our chat friend.

February 11, 2000... Friday... This morning Marty's chatroom rocked! Cindy, Rozelma, Karen, and of course, Marty, making such funny comments about Marty's path. As an added insite, I'm going to be posting actual words and thoughts from Marty, A daily, or not so daily report, from our friend. I think this calls for another link. It is added at the top of this page.If you are someone that enjoys daily updates, and watching someone else's life story evolve, stick with me. :-)

This may be the last entry on this page. With the exception of the listing of the 'feel good' movies listed to YOUR left. Just follow, either the link at the top of the page, or the one in the previous paragragh. Don't know what a link is? Just come back later... :-)

February 10, 2000... Thursday... Marty's first week, he lost 8 pounds. He's been walking and following Doctor's orders. The weigh in is every Monday and soon I will be getting pictures to post, showing the progress as it happens. Seems he is doing very well. Already taking trips to the library and opening his chat.

We spoke today, and ideas are slowly evolving. For those of you following Marty's saga, you know all about the surgery and I'm going to be posting progress pictures as I get them. I know I said that a sentence ago... but, yesterday, I had to say everything twice, twice all day. I felt likeI had echolallia! echolallia... :-) :-)

February 6, 2000... Sunday... On Saturday, Marty reminded me that my screen name, 'vidayoh_wiz', made him think I was a dude. As much as I was glad I misjudged his name, and still gave him an opportunity to chat and explain his screen name, he is equally glad he gave me an opportunity to establish I was NOT a guy. Since Marty actually had some online time, he had an opportunity to see this page for the first time. Hence our discussion about our mutual distrust for each other. Of course, we have trust now! So don't anyone panic, that was our first impressions.

groundhogFeb. 2 was a conflict. The groundhog in Chicago did NOT see it's shadow, yet the national one did. I'm going with our local one!

I was supposed to chat with Marty on Thursday, but he was so exhauseted he decided to sleep instead... I totally understood. He tried calling on Friday, but I was out during that time, so, another day of no contact.

February 1,2000... Tuesday... Marty himself called. He's walking the halls, and taking his meds for pain, He's doing well enough to be coming home on Thursday.

January 31, 2000...Monday... Marty's brother, Steve, called me around noon to report that Marty had no problems with his surgery, and he was in a pleasant demerol state at that time. :-)
