The Dialectics of Pain

I spent some time blog-browsing and happened upon The Smokey Mountain Breakdown, which is maintained by an excellent US Southern-style writer living in the Appalachian mountains. She's a member of the Maggie-Della readers group as well.

This woman - also named Rosie (now now we have Rosie1, or blind Rosie, and Rosie2, or mountain Rosie) - took a bad fall on Sunday and spent the day in the ER with an arm that might or might not be broken. She's been given pain medication, which has not had much effect. She has described the pain as quite severe and I hope she can manage things until Wednesday when she's sent to go to another doctor...I think. Anyway, I'm worried about her and wanted to let you all know. I'd also like to introduce you to one hell of a fine writer at the following links:

That's her blog, an attractive and whimsical thing. I enjoy reading it. I'm glad she's not shy about letting us know what's happening with her.

Rosie2 is a published fiction writer and has a site on a wonderful site for writers and readers, called EditRed. Her page is here, at:

Well, for that matter, MY page is on EditRed, at:

I'm hoping Rosie2 will be okay and I hope you'll think about her as well - even though you don't know her!
