Your score on the DOCS will give you about 86% certainty of whether or not you’ll come out of the coma or simply slip into a Minimally Conscious State or PVS.
Sorry, I have a final exam today.
Sounds like you had a busy week. Can’t wait to see the results over Christmas.
Wow, you accomplished alot last week! I have a ‘honey-do’ list for my hubby, and I’m happy if he gets one or two done a weekend. Of course, we’re usually busy chasing around for the kid’s activites on the weekends. Check out my site today. I linked a song from my son’s a capella group. I think you’ll enjoy it!
it doesn’t get slower. you just move slower — and ache a helluva a lot more the next morning
Wow, now that’s what I’d call a busy week. I doubt I’d be comatose after a week like that; more than likely I’d be dead from exhaustion! At least you got a lot done–that must feel good.
Btw, do you contract yourself out?
Hey Mark, I bought my mid life crisis the day after Thanksgiving….what did you buy and will we get to see a picture?…Hope you have a speedy recovery from the coma..given that you are “acting” minister of music and this is the Christmas season, I am sure you will continue to be uber busy!…Have a good week.
You’re a funny guy, Mark. I haven’t seen you in a while, so I thought I’d say hello. ~ Simone
It made me tired just reading it all
Post pics of you in that mid-life crisis car!!
You’re not old enough to qualify as the slowing-down age. Just wait; it’ll happen!
That’s quite a lot of coma-inducing activities! Hope you’ve awakened!
What kind of car is your mid-life crisis car? I don’t have one yet, but I’d like to trade in my bright-red minivan for a black Jetta with a spoiler (do Jettas HAVE spoilers)? Ha! I just know I like them!
RYC: I’ll trade meetings with you. Being a guy, you might enjoy the automotive parts stuff better than I do. Or you’d at least understand it more!

Wow, an organized Hanging of the Greens! We just grab people as they come through the door and say, “Will you do the wreath this year?” We have an average congregation of 15-20, so things are pretty informal. Don’t forget to take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy the holidays.
LOL I am about to join you in coma land.
LOL sometimes nothing happens and then BAM! it all happens at once…..aren’t you glad you skills?? :-d
Holy Moley- did you actually have enough hours in the days to complete all that?
Sheesh. That’s more than I do all year.
But… you didn’t list what you did in your spare time.
Wow…You worked your fanny off this alst week. That Cain’s Ballroom is a very old famous ballroom. I’d love to visit there someday.
and yes…we need pics of you in that mid-life vehicle.
Did you say that you were busy? (ha ha, smiles)
Eeeesh, Mark. Why don’t you get off your lazy butt and DO something??
xoxoxo
Lately, youve been telling us a lot more about your churchy side.
Oh, tell me what your mid-life crisis car is!

Hi Mark!
So, you mean that the Hanging of the Greens service was last Sunday? Hmmmmmm, I guess that I missed it. You should have told me when it was so I wouldn’t be out of town or anything like that! LOL
