   A while back I was banned from the forum for a while. I was talking my own brand of truth and it got some upset. I could not come on here for a long time after; but there are a lot of good people here. I almost died and needed emergency surgery, just shortly after being banned. Wait--deja vu, have I said that before? I don't know. However, I am ready to start writing again.
   
   How are you today? Feel free to respond whether you know me or whether you don't, and whether we saw eye-to-eye before or whether we did not.

         Oh thank you, AliciaC. Of all the articles on HP, yours were amongst the ones I enjoyed the most. I was thinking of you as well, and am glad to hear from you.
         
         As for my health, in the past it was taken for granted, but no more. Never one to be afraid of mortality, living or not living, that part didn't bother me. The part that did, however, is that we can't choose whether to live or pass when suffering. There are some things we can live through that we may not want to when existing in a certain condition. I've been there, and totally resonate with others who have.
         
         Now, I know that the best thing to do is pay attention to my health. However, since surgery it's tough. I've developed sensitivities to nearly everything one can eat. Well, more like everything.

      It is good to have you back GwennyOh. Sorry to hear that you needed emergency surgery, that must have been quite a scary ordeal. It is good that you have recovered and it has given you a new outlook on your health. Hope to see a new lease on life in your writing as well.

         I want to take the moment to thank you, Misbah for allowing me to respond--it was not my intent to hijack your thread 
         
         At the same time, @Jodah, you've been one of my favorites here as well. Nice to hear from you. Yeah, I think I have my mojo back

   I don't know though I have been on Hubpages for many years. So, Hi, and welcome back, and glad to know, you are doing fine after undergoing surgery.

      Hi Ben716! Thank you, thank you for your thoughtfulness.
      
      Your post gave me a chuckle... I focused on one word--undergoing. Funny how sometimes a word that we see and hear all the time jumps out and tickles our funnybone. The word 'concertgoer' does that to me as well sometimes, as well as the word 'sinister'  ::::tee hee::::

         Hahaha...yah. Sometimes they sound funny, other times they remind us about something that's hilarious.
         I always cringe whenener I use 'undergoing.' I am so used to it that at times I forget to use a synonymous word to it.

            Well, it's funny because yesterday I read your response and smiled. Today I read it, and another word jumped to mind, that you did not use--cringeworthy. Lol, another 'gooder!'
