Dear Sister Love,

I have no idea where to begin this letter. There are so many thoughts, and fears, and emotions moving within me that I feel like a nuclear reactor out of control. So, I am going to apologize up front for the tone and content of this letter; not for what I’m about to say, but simply because in a lot of ways hearing this must be somewhat like being in a relationship with someone a lot younger than yourself. One can find oneself retracing a lot of familiar ground.

It has taken me a long time to come to this machine. I have been avoiding this room and I’m not totally sure why. I do have some definite ideas. Today, I put a new diskette into the machine which is just for you. How’s that for optimism? I’m already frustrated, because of typing errors. What little skill I possessed has eroded to the point of non-existence. Be thankful, honey chile that this is a computer or you wouldn’t be able to read this. I told myself coming in here this morning that I would finish this letter no matter what. I have an unfinished letter on another disk that I started to you when I returned from the March on Washington.98 If I add that letter to all the letters I write to you in my bed you’d be inundated with missiles for here, but we both know that what’s written in your head can’t be read.

I brought you up to date on the medical stuff so far on the phone.99 Today I go to what is hopefully my last visit to the surgeon. But then as I think about it probably not. I’m beginning to think I shouldn’t predict shit, because I’ve been so wrong so much of the time lately. The key word in the preceding sentence is “hopefully.”

I’ve gotten back most of the mobility in my arm and shoulder. I must admit that I freaked out when I realized that the motion was happening. The surgeon had told me to exercise the arm and I did, but around day four post-surgery, I couldn’t stand to move it. Talk about pain. Almost shocked me white. So, of course I did what was so natural and stop moving the arm altogether. Assumed what I now call the claw position. So of course the next time I see the surgeon, he’s going “hey you gotta move.” Now I am probably the world’s worst when it comes to exercise. Like okay bore me to death. So I handled the problem my way. You want Parker to move, put a ball in the vicinity. So following my physician’s advice to take more pain medication and move that arm, I returned to my gym and took more pain medication and played racquetball. I lost all three games, but I got the arm moving. Now I can unlock my top lock. Could probably comb my hair, but my sister came up from L.
