Episode 23
Thank you for tuning in to the What’s The Matter With Me? Podcast. In Episode 23 Roll With The Punches I fall asleep at the KFJC meeting, hang in the yard, experience intense Trigeminal neuralgia pain, and read an old song lyric I wrote called “Roll With The Punches.”
Fatigue
I fell asleep at the KFJC weekly station meeting and that was distressing. I woke up and everyone was looking at me. It shook me and later in the evening I fell off the station couch awkwardly. I go to KFJC to relax and these kinds of things make that difficult.
Yard hang
I went in the yard with John John. It was a sunny warm day and we took our shirts off, wrapping them around our heads. We laughed a bit and smiled. It was a good thing.
Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain
I have been experiencing pain from trigeminal neuralgia in my right lower jaw on the buccal side. It feels like going to the dentist, and when they say “it’s going to pinch” before you get novocaine and then it pinches and won’t stop pinching all night long. It’s very hard, and I hope it stops soon.
Poetry reading: “Roll With The Punches”
I read a song I wrote called Roll With The Punches. Check it out:
Roll With The Punches
You gotta roll
With the punches sometimes
Sometimes,
You gotta rollYou gotta know
Who’s on your side
Just as much as
Who’s passing you byDon’t have no glass jaw
O Hell Naw
When you get knocked down
You gotta stand up tallYou gotta bend but don’t break
Give em all they can take
And a whole lot more
Until you hear em hit the floorYou gotta roll
With the punches sometimes
Sometimes,
Sometimes.
