No, you’re not going to college for free. We said at the outset that we would take you along for the ride. The full ride. So we’ve come to one of those points in the story where some advance warning is required. It’s not the story of what’s happening today, but looking back at where we’ve been. Upcoming posts will be about the symptoms of the tumor, about the ripple effects of those symptoms, and about the unexpected reversal of those symptoms. We are experiencing and witnessing miracles. But first, let me tell you about how Lisa is doing now. Really, really great! She is still seeing improvement each day, and she’s beginning to talk about new realizations she is having about her experience - both now and during the reign of the evil monkey. We will share those with you in the upcoming posts. Each day reveals more of the real Lisa, as she rediscovers little facets of herself that have been squeezed out for years. It almost feels to me like the symptoms are resolving in the reverse order in which they occurred. Sort of a first shall be last and the last first kind of thing. Or like when you’re excavating earth to build a building… the soils that were under the highest compression will take the longest to rebound. Lisa objects to the dirt brain analogy, but she decided to let it stay in anyway. She is happy and talkative and funny and fun. She’s making it sweetly painful to realize how very much I’ve missed her. The Lisa that I thought was lost and gone forever. She’s back! Years ago I visited a conventional precast construction project being built by our LadderBlock Dubai partner. I saw a sign that made me laugh, and it came to mind as a reasonable visual for this post: So there will be stuff in the upcoming posts that you may prefer to remain ignorant to. That might be my preference if I had a choice, but at the same time it really is an intriguing story. Certainly not one we could have predicted or even imagined. Yet here we are. Lisa and I have talked about just how much detail to include, and will continue to do so as each post is written. Part of the reason we felt led to start the blog is not just to keep our family and friends updated regarding Lisa’s health, but also to share our story in the hope that it may reach others who are going through the same things we have – but may currently have no idea why it is happening. Like us just four months ago, and for decades prior to that. So it takes us stepping out onto the thin ice and sharing some very personal details… outside of our collective comfort zones, yours included. If you’d rather not know, just don’t read upcoming posts that are preceded by a “Warning!”. I’m kind of scared to write it down, so please don’t feel bad if you’re scared to read it. Just skip on!
