Re: dr. scmaltzreid's hula

[Guest guest]

Art,

Congratulations! I was looking for you on the site last week to

check up on you. It sounds like things are going very well. It has

been three weeks since we met at OH. I am also doing great. No

issues. I am back in the gym, riding the stationary bike, working,

driving, walking and getting on with life without pain. I was happy

to get off the coumadin yesterday and have that huge salad and glass

of wine that I have been dreaming about.

I hope your recovery continues to go well. Don't forget you owe me

a golf lesson. Can you imagine making a real turn on the ball

without the restictions and pain in your hip? I am looking forward

to swinging the big dog soon.

Best Regards.... C+ Dr. Amstutz 5/04/04

Hi james,

Wrote you a long letter and than hit the wrong key and the

letter disappeared.Two weeks out now and things look fine, although

that enormous pain in the ass almost got to me,threatening the very

heatrt of my Bddhist soul.Upon awakening on day 9 i made my way to

the ktchen,with this pain in the assnis this going to stop? I made

my tea but as i poured poured my ginger tea into one of my favorite

cups

.it broke and the tea poured all over the floor.All of a

sudden,the kid who grew up on the streets of Newark,N.J. came

through.Goddamn, mother fuckin son of a bitch, he exclaimed!

The heart of Buddhism lies in Nonviolence, not only towards

others, but also towards oneself.Anger is often spoken of as a

poision in consciouness,and colloquially translated,it's kind of

like saying Fuck you to God.The grumbling about this pain in my

ass,i guess finally wore me down, but on day 11 i got the 22 staples

taken out of my butt, and immediately felt much better.I see the

light at the end of the tunnel but realize that it's probably going

to be at least 6 weeks before i'm really somewhat more functional

So we need to trust that it's all good somehow and i'm sure

there are hippies all over the planet asking themselves the question

What was good about this great pain in the ass and what lessons has

it taught me that will benefit my spiritual growth?

Never stop laughing your frind Art
