Re: a typical FM moment

People are so frickin' thoughtless..................it's a concert for God's
sake, doesn't he think that if you COULD stand up that you would have when
everyone else did? That would have ruined the whole thing for me:-( I'm
sorry that you experienced this, Katie:-(

The weather's gotten warm and I feel almost like a normal person
again so I go out to an open air concert in the park where a local
group is playing a tribute to Woodstock.

I sit on the wide steps in front of the stage. I'll worry about
standing up again later. It's bound to be painful.

The music of my youth, the warm evening, the stars and the smell of
lilac bush are taking me back to a time when my body was youthful and
healthy. My brain remembers what healthy is like and I feel good. I
can do this! I can go out in the evening and take pleasure in
listening to a rock group! Life isn't so bad after all.

The band starts playing "Let the Sun Shine In" and people stand up
and start to wave their arms. Only problem is I can't see any more
and my body is too tired and in pain to stand up. In fact, I'll be
needing my husband to help me stand up again. I tap on the legs in
front of me and ask the guy to move over just a bit so I can still
see. He makes a gesture meaning "Stand up! Everyone else is standing!"

The music is too loud for me to tell him. "I can't, I'm in pain". All
I can do now is glare at the back of his legs.
