This a companion piece to my graphic and editorial on the criminalization of pain. Executive director of the Pain Relief Network, Siobhan Reynolds has devoted her life to patients who suffer pain and those who treat them. The harsh reality is that people who endure severe pain often find out how difficult it is to find a doctor to treat pain. It is an unbelievable situation that people do not think they will confront until the problem unfortunately involves them, their family and friends. Good physicians are bearing the wrath of the federal government. It is common sense that Medical boards need to revoke licenses from those doctors in any medical practice who do not follow legal and ethical medical practice without the best interests of their patients as their primary focus. We have come to expect good medical care in this country. Up until middle 90’s, patients were treated for pain, but since then, physicians have turned away from treating pain adequately for fear of federal prosecution. Our expectations have changed as a necessary and positive part of good medical practice and we don’t think of doctors treating pain inadequately fearing the red flags that lead to raids of doctor’s offices and medical records by our federal government. Thousands of people who are critically or chronically ill and in severe pain are caught in a terrible crisis and want the problem addressed by the Congress to change the Controlled Substances Act. Appalled by what I experienced as a patient and staying informed for my patients with the help of Siobhan Reynolds. I join her fight to reverse this travesty. I have written to my Congressional representatives to aid her efforts. You can hear taped interviews of Ms. Reynolds on her website, pain relief network. She speaks about a doctor facing a prison sentence for 100 years. The DEA feels this doctor was fooled when she wrote two prescriptions in her office in South Carolina. It is a personal and professional mission of mine that patients receive appropriate pain care in the United States. I have seen many patients who have an extremely difficult time finding doctors who will prescribe opiates including cancer patients when there can be no rational for oral medication in the last stages of the disease. I had a patient whose mother was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died three months after her diagnosis that naturally came as a shock to her son and daughters. There have been breakthroughs in pain medications for cancer patients and those who suffer from chronic pain. Without doctors, who will prescribe these medications? How has medical research been served? As I stated in my last narrative on this issue and others to come, I urge you to be informed about this crisis. Begin with reading the content on the pain relief network and also Siobhan Reynolds informed and highly intelligent testimony to the United States Congress. We all are vulnerable to the consequences of this serious medical crisis. People not only suffer needlessly in agony, but millions of deaths are attributed to the brutal punishment the body sustains from severe pain and patient suicides when no hope is in sight. After the death of her mother who succumbed to pancreatic cancer, her daughter asked me to listen to Carly Simon’s song, Like A River. Carly Simon wrote letters that were never sent to her mother and others and eventually the letters became an album, Letters Never Sent. When I listen to this exceptionally talented writer and musician, I think of the needless suffering of patients, but also of the families and friends who loved these special people who died before their time. My mother also died before her time so many tears stained the pages of these lyrics that are also in book form. My mother’s story is a fascinating one that I look forward to sharing with you. Like A River lyrics (Carly Simon) Dear mother the struggle is over now And your house is up for sale We divided your railway watches Between the four of us I fought over the pearls With the other girls But it was all a metaphor For what was wrong with us As the room is emptying out Your face so young comes into view And on the back porch is a well-worn step And a pool of light you can walk into I’ll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river… Can you clear up the mystery of the Sphinx? Do you know any more about God? Are you dancing with Benjamin Franklin On the face of the moon? Have you reconciled with Dad? Does the rain still make you sad? Last night I swear I could feel you Moving through my room And I thought you touched my feet I so wanted it to be true In my theater there is a stage And a footlight you can step into… I’ll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you, forever Like a river… In the river I know I will find the key And your voice will rise like the spray In the moment of knowing The tide will wash away my doubt ‘Cause you’re already home Making it nice for when I come home Like the way I find my bed turned down Coming in from a late night out. Please keep reminding me Of what in my soul I know is true Come in my boat, there’s a seat beside me And two or three stars we can gaze into… I’ll wait no more for you like a daughter, That part of our life together is over But I will wait for you forever Like a river… I’ll never leave, always just a dream away A star that’s always watching Never turn away We’ll never leave, always just a thought away A candle always burning Never turn away The moon will hide, the tree will bend I’m right beside you I’ll never turn away. Please view this in the large format.

Where I was born .Photograph / David 1917. “Non” you said. / “Non” and something like “le matin” / Grass stains on the lace of your petticoat. / Some one had said petticoat, now today. / I remembered your foot pushing towards my face through the grass. / Rubbed my cap badge clean on your petticoat, chemise? / Could we find it? Thought I’d lost it. / Field, water meadow. / Hung wet stockings over the grass. / Mistletoe, yes mistletoe in the trees, other side of that river. / Green woodpecker, red trees. / “I like birds” I said “Never seen that one”. / Wet in places. / One white stocking, like mist. Oh bloody hell. / A white line / A line creased into the flesh at the top of your leg, / Undone ribbons. / Cold collar stud, cold buttons and red marks. / Wet and sweating, you had hair in your eyes. / Wet legs, this lot think I invented it. / And wet again in the grass / Dampened the edge of your light grey skirt, dark. / All over, all disarranged. / A hat in the grass, black and shiny, painted straw, a little boater / With flowers a cheap Easter hat. / You had washed your hair and the hat stained your head, laugh. / No, non-, you said and you tied up your hair, tried to say no, in the morning, / Little solider in your very bad English. / Matin and I think you sang “Ave”, in Latin, ha. / I said, not my church, not my religion, couldn’t think of a useful God just then. / Watching the other side of the river / Could not see us. / They were honestly Gypsies, caravans and all / And a fire and later songs, bloody hell and black bread and potatoes, red songs and cheeks and nights and days, oh God. It was a long time before I could afford you. Saved up, bloody stupid they said I was. Did nobody like you? The officers, yes. / No sillier than the rest of them I suppose.

Facebook Owns Your Photography and Writing - FOREVER
by Patricia MontgomeryAn update journal has been posted to …
An update journal has been posted to let you know that Facebook has reverted back to its old terms of service while they “resolve the issues”. ^^^^ February 17, 2009 Update: Read the article on the PCWorld site, Facebook Owns Your Business Data which was posted on February 17, 2009. User beware if you are a Facebook member! They have recently changed their terms of service and now have rights to everything you have posted, including your writing, artwork, and photography! Even if you delete it all today, they retain rights to everything you have posted up to that point. Your profile can be kept in Facebook’s archives indefinitely even though you are no longer a member. I saw this disturbing news on several blogs this morning. Here’s a link to one of the sites. Then if you want further confirmation, go to Facebook’s terms page and see it for yourself. If you are a member of Facebook, be very careful what you write as it could possibly come back to haunt you one day if Facebook decides to publish it. Before it is published they have the right to (and I quote from the terms) “modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute” it. If you want to retain sole copyright of your writing, artwork or photography, DO NOT UPLOAD IT TO FACEBOOK.* What is currently uploaded now can be used in any way Facebook deems appropriate, including sublicensing it. As a member of Facebook, I have used it in the past as a social network to stay in touch with friends and family and only recently to market my work. I don’t have many images posted to my profile, but now that work has been sublicensed to Facebook forever. I never join a site without reading the terms. These new changes to the terms makes me so angry. I was never given an opportunity to opt out of the site before these changes went into effect. I feel as though I have been duped.

A candid moment with my son, Daeron & step-son, Alex. Daeron is in the barber chair from Elijah Pierce’s barbershop and they were ‘cutting up’ (that pun is for you, Lindybird). Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, Ohio / Straight from the box:Nikon P80 / 7mm / f/3.2 / 1/7 second / ISO 400 Nationally acclaimed self-taught artist Elijah Pierce, who lived most of his adult in Columbus just blocks from the Museum of Art, was a barber by trade and a preacher by avocation. Many of his wood carvings are religious subjects, and he used them to illustrate his sermons. The Book of Wood, his most elaborate creation, illustrates several scenes from the New Testament. Pierce took the work on various preaching trips during the 1930s and ‘40s; in later years, it was a centerpiece of his barbershop ministry. The Columbus Museum of Art is home to the most extensive collection of Pierce’s work. / /
