GWDF2 Day 4 - Medical Recap, Anemia, Bleedging, Weight
http://:youtu.be/muv9TqewgJ
Rough transcript:
Rough transcript:
Not that my health
matters, any more or less than the health of a soldier fighting for the life of
the women and children in a town matters.
He, she matters as a tool, a scalpel to the surgeon matters. If you don't understand that were dead,
because you don't understand what we’re facing.
You don't understand what the next 200 billion children are facing. You don’t understand we’re right on the edge
of the cliff, if we haven't gone over it already in 2012.
This is not the time
for normalcy and hasn't been for a long time.
If you don’t
understand that my health matters only as the health of a soldier in a
life-and-death fight matters, then we’re dead and your part of the problem. Right
now, with so much broken, and so little time, love is tough, or it's not love.
By going back through
the archives of ‘start loving’ blog one could, including I could, check the
history of my symptoms. I don't have the time.
My earliest recollection of starting to feel like my body was, well,
something was very wrong was the end of 2011 after the second of the 50 days,
two 50 days of strikes that year. Bear
in mind that I've done probably 8 to 10 major hunger strikes over the last
decade with this now sixty-year-old body; but I don't know that my symptoms are
related to the hunger strikes. But I
suspect they are.
Late last year 2011,
early 2012, a collection of symptoms started to wear on me quite significantly
- frequent stomachaches like I’d been punched, or, I now realize, like there
was an open wound. Just an ache, not queasiness, I don't recall
nausea. But it hurt, day after day, not
throughout the day, but periodically throughout the day. Seemed to be associated with eating but not
any particular type of food; not really even any particular quantities. My stool was rarely solid. I’d be kept awake for half an hour and as
long as 2, 3, 4 hours by what's called restless leg syndrome, I guess it
is. There were unexplained periods
lasting hours where I didn’t have the strength of the ragdoll.
Finally by April this
was weighing on my ability to contribute, enough that I went to the medical truck
for we homeless, to my dear Dr. Cardile.
She'd been asking me to get blood tests for a long time. I associated that with expensive medical procedures
and I told her that I'm unwilling to have significant monies spent on my
person. She understands that. But I was finally so debilitated for so long,
and realized that maybe there was some low cost fix, that I said okay, I’ll go
for some blood tests.
Well, the results
were to be back a week later, and totally unforeseen by me the first death fast
began, the ‘weapons test’ death fast as it turns out, and I thought, I won’t be
here two months from now so why go bother Dr. Cardile?
A week ago, not
seeing this current death fast coming this time either, my teeth are beginning
to shatter from lifelong nocturnal grinding, I saw the medical truck near my
new location at the Canadian Tar Sands Embassy, and nurse Penny who had drawn
my blood for Dr. Cardile said, ‘No, no, you're not going to this truck, you’re
going to Dr. Cardile, she wants to see you, now. Go see her tomorrow.’ I said okay and several days ago saw Dr. Cardile
who said – you’re anemic and usually that's associated with internal bleeding
for someone your age. We reviewed my
symptoms which by 2 weeks ago were all recurring, the symptoms I recounted
earlier in this video. ‘Yup,’ she said;
and some other symptoms too gross to be mentioned on this video. Low iron can be associated with the restless
leg. Within the last two weeks now, on two different nights, has kept me awake
for a good 4 to 6 hours, quite agonizing.
It’s the kind of stuff they do when they black site you, it is quite
distracting from my work, my ability to my work; quite agonizing. Very tiring.
But there are tests
that they do now to zero in on the cause, and that’s the blood work now in
progress. I’ve read up on this little
bit - she's trying to figure out whether it's internal bleeding, could be
cancer, could be diet, could be kidney, and Wednesday morning I have an
appointment to go back and see her; she'll have the results by then and there’ll
be more to report.
So I went in for a
dental referral and by the time I was done this week they've taken more blood,
sticking me about eight times to find a vein that would work; I sure don’t have
the body I used to. They took my vitals
including weight, and I miscalculated, I'm only 9 pounds overweight weighing in
at 164 with my clothes off and 155 is my zero body fat weight, at least, it
used to be; which means I've only got about 18 days from day one. On or about day 18 I expect to be starting to
bite into and sometime thereafter, brain.
Most or all the fat should be gone by then. I calculated that I had twice that excess
body fat but I don't, it turns out from the scale.
So with the heart,
with the anemia, with a lower body fat, I’m likely to be fading much sooner
than I have before.

Day 4 - GW's Death
Fast Extreme Emergency
I don't know if I
heard this properly, but what I think I understand is that, an extreme
financial emergency has arisen, which I may or may not be in a position to
cover.
Help me Obi-Wan
Kenobi, your only hope. You remember how
we ran laughing out of the theater with that line, how ludicrous, how
ridiculous. That's not how it happens,
one man. Oh so silly.
No sillier than one
ignition system is the difference between someone getting to the hospital on
time in an ambulance or dying in an immobile
ambulance. Never think that a committed
individual can’t change the world. It is the only thing that ever has. A fire starts with a match. Maybe one match lights
another. Maybe one match lights a candle.
I hope I’m that match because I don't see any others, no discredit to anyone else, no credit to me. That's the physics of it. I hope I'm one of
millions of matches but I don't see another one.
My entire life, my
entire adulthood has been based on running toward collapsing organizations while
everyone else was running out, and if I thought the situation was savable,
finding just one or two or three, at most four others, that whether or not they
realized it were yearning for the fire that I could help ignite in them. Everything was there in them, they just
needed a little extra heat, a little extra imagination, a little extra help
with the vision. And repeatedly
throughout my adulthood I've been associated with miracles through that process.
So I've been at this,
joyfully giving every breath for humanity, for about a dozen years now. It's
been for the last eight months, only within the last eight months have I seen a
candle ready to be lit. Everything there
already, smoldering, and that’s the young man that I spoke of yesterday, planetary
spring at gmail dot com.
If I understand correctly
what I heard last night, what always happens in every unviolent revolution,
what always happens in every unviolent revolution, our dearest loved ones are
the first ones to split away from us. Usually
it's temporary; agonizing years, but almost always it’s temporary. I'm thinking of maybe the greatest activist
of the last 2/3 of the 20th century, Dave Dellinger, went to Yale, his father
was in charge of Republicans in Boston,
was a prominent lawyer, and before Dave graduated Yale he had left, lived among
the homeless at the time of the depression I think, out in the fields, in the
camps, not as a do-gooder, but as a brother.
He became one of them; he became aware he was one of them and they of
him; not a dime in his pocket, and that ended his relationship with his father. Until years later, on his deathbed, or at the time of his dying, when
his dad was dying, his dad said, ‘Dave you were right. I'm so proud of you.’
It always happens
when the revolution starts, a nonviolent revolution. Stressors – split folks
apart. It's because someone saw, became part of the new paradigm. So, like their dearest loved ones are going
to ‘get it,’ at the same time? No. They’re the least likely because their
dearest loved ones feel the most threatened; threatened for fear for their
loved one, threatened for an unrecognized fear of their own paradigm being
threatened, their own status quo being threatened.
If I understand
correctly this one bright hope that I’ve seen, this one bright hope for humanity
as the creator is my witness, as Luke Skywalker was the only hope, as Neo was
the only hope, this young friend is the only hope that I see on earth right now;
as a match, as a candle I see the only hope to ignite others.
And if I understand
correctly one of his dearest loved ones who bless their hearts have been
financially backing him, backed out, out of fear for this young friend; out of
a difference of vision.
Last I knew this
young friend was leaving on a mission he conceived of, to travel the country
via bus to rally people to come on waves of hunger strike, to DC, end of this
year. Nothing short of that will save we
canaries in the coal mine in which you live; we Bangladeshis, we indigenous
Alaskans, we indigenous Canadians from Athabasca, we of the island nations like
the Maldives.
And I didn't see it
till yesterday or the day before - we are your canaries in the coal mine,
earth, that you live in. If you don't
stop the killing of us with your burning of coal and oil and natural gas you
will have killed your children and grandchildren. If you let we canaries die in the coal mine,
then the same process that killed the canary first, will kill you. I didn't see that that's exactly what we are -
we are your canaries in the coal mine. I being a Bangladeshis, an Athabascan,
an indigenous Alaskan, a Maldivian.
The last I knew this
young man's plans were to be on a bus traveling to the most promising parts of
the country, where evidence of humanity taking a stand against environmental
Armageddon was already in some evidence.
Now it may be that
what I understand was that he thought he had his funding enough to get solar
panels for the work that I do, and that that funding is no longer available. As I reported yesterday, it may be that for
some reason I don't understand, the solar panel that I have is working properly. Now I should know conclusively today or
tomorrow.
In any case, if I'm
understanding correctly, everything I have is now at this young friend's
disposal. Within hours of understanding
more clearly, the solar battery that I've been praying for, saving for for
years I’ve had for two weeks now. It
can be on eBay in a matter of hours and get probably $200. If the solar panel in fact is working, it can
be on eBay within hours and fetch $200 I’ll guess.
I have three or four
friends, not acquaintances, friends. A friend is one who will take a bullet for you,
unconditionally, and when she heard yesterday that the work I do was in dire
need of a solar panel, within hours sufficient funds were in my checking
account. Breathtaking goodness. Breathtaking goodness. Unless I hear from her immediately those
funds will be available to this young friend. I see no hope beside this young friend’s
mission.
Did I say the mission
will succeed? Did I say I'm a fool, an
idiot? I'm not God. But I have, through no credit to me, what we
are number one dying for, and as I've often said, I thought the number one
thing was heart, was courage; and I'm now realizing that number is the number
one thing we’re dying from is a failure of imagination, a fundamental profound
failure of imagination. And mine is working
fine. This failure of imagination is
most dire, most pronounced relative to environmental Armageddon, environmental
holocaust due to the continued no charge dumping of all future killing fossil
fuel emissions. A fundamental failure of
imagination, fundamental failure of vision.
This young friend is
evidencing some of the necessary vision.
Make no mistake, I take no responsibility for this young man as the hope
that he represents. I saw it the first
time we had a serious conversation, maybe it was the first time we met, I don't
recall. It was on or about New Year's
Eve of 2011 in McPherson Square Park where we spoke for an hour so. Trained in environmental science, a heart
that’s is the product of heartbreak, hardships, the immense love of a father,
and the immense love of a mother. I’ve simply
been the sunshine to this rare and promising young tree. Planetary spring at Gmail dot com.
I urge anyone with a
heart, anyone with any young people that they love, to get in contact with
planetary spring at Gmail dot com - the subject line should speak of financial
assistance. And inquire as to what
financial assistance is required.
If my beloved friend
that provided funding yesterday for new solar panels objects to me diverting it
to this young man's work I need to hear that right away. Otherwise young friend, everything that I
have except for my laptop, except for the Wi-Fi, is available for immediate
liquidation. And the funds that I was
given yesterday may be available as well.
If you understand
what's at stake young friend you will not let pride, discomfort, you will not
let anything come in the way of accessing those funds.
You need to be strong.
