NJC Jim, Are you SURE about that? I've NEVER heard **mute** sung, and it doesn't make any sense to say mute, both in terms of the lyric (relating to eyes) or the rhyme (rhyming with "coast").

Sent by: owner-joni@smoe.org In a sandwich shop, the singer interpreted BSN as >much is lost >and much is gained >in livin' ev'ry day This week, when they played "whiter shade of pale" on the radio, it sounded like the album version until the vocal went, "Though my eyes were open They might just as well been CLOSED." I guess they used an alternate vocal because the version I'm familiar went, "they might just as well been mute." It didn't make sense to say "mute" but it made you stop and listen. I liked it better the OLD way. Harrumph!

My husband Travis was hospitalized with pneumonia just after New Years Day about 3 years ago. Travis is Joni's age, born in 1943. The pneumonia worsened and he was on a ventilator in the ICU for several days. His lungs improved and they extubated him. He had a violent reaction, probably to the drugs they give to people to keep them calm while they have tubes stuck down their throats, blowing air into their lungs to keep them breathing. After settling down and detoxing from those powerful drugs, they took him out of the ICU and put him in a room on another floor of the hospital. But something was wrong. He was slowly losing awareness and responsiveness. One day when I was at work he had a seizure. I was told there were something like four doctors summoned to his room when this occurred. He ended up back in the ICU on a ventilator again, pretty much in a coma. Scans of his brain showed swelling and the neurologist attending Travis was not very encouraging or hopeful in his prognosis. Plasmapheresis treatments were administered several times. These consisted of plugging tubes into him that drew the blood out of his body, filtered out the plasma, replaced it with fresh plasma and pumped it back into his body. The hope was that this process would clean out whatever it was that was causing the swelling in his brain. This went on for several days. Finally one night I was sitting by his bed, looking into his eyes talking him to him and I could tell he could hear me. When I asked him questions, he would nod or shake his head. He came back and the day he was extubated again, the neurologist came into his room and told him he was Lazarus, risen from the dead. He ended up being in the hospital for a month and then in a skilled nursing rehabilitation facility for another two months. He is sitting next to me at his computer right now. His cognition is fine and he has regained his mobility and most of his former strength. In one of his follow up appointments the neurologist called him Miracle Man. I pray that our Joni is not having to go through something as dire as that was. But long hospital stays don't necessarily mean the worst. Joni has always been a strong woman. She has said that she isn't ready to leave this life. I have to believe she will come back to us. It's funny, but I haven't let this situation with Joni's health bother me too much. But today I thought about her a lot. I don't think she will expire. She hasn't burnt up every passion yet.

Long ago, my mother was in a serious car accident. She had two broken arms, two broken legs, at least one broken rib, and, worst of all, brain trauma. She was in the hospital for about a month. After rehab, she lived in a nursing home, in a wheelchair for more than ten years. She never recovered fully from the brain trauma. Jim ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 13:37:20 -0500 From: Sharon Watkins Subject: Long Hospital Stay Hi Jim, I think you're onto something. There's been so much in the media about Morgellon's, Joni's smoking, and even that awful article about her mental health, but nothing about the frequency and often serious injuries from falls for older people. Since Joni was found unconscious, for whatever reason, it's occurred to me that she could have sustained a head injury if she fell. This could cause a serious injury, and, like grand daughter Daisy said, nothing to do with smoking. This happened to a friend of mine who tripped and sustained a head injury causing a long hospital stay and rehabilitation. As Joni suffers from post-polio syndrome, I wonder if this weakens her legs making her susceptible to falls? All speculation I know, and I realize she owes none of us an explanation, but can't help hoping she's ok.
