AWAKE...

Have you ever seen this movie? The movie "Awake" is from 2007. I think I had heard about it then, but forgot about it. Well, I watched this movie last night (instead of working) and I must say, there was a lot of emotion is this movie. I will just say it has a "twist", that I would have never seen coming. Here is a little "blurb" on what the movie is about...

A psychological thriller about a common occurrence called "anesthetic awareness," a horrifying phenomenon wherein a patient's (Hayden Christenson) failed anesthesia leaves him fully conscious but physically paralyzed during surgery. The patient's charming new wife (Jessica Alba) is forced to struggle with her own demons as a terrifying drama unfolds around the couple.

I enjoyed the movie and thought it was pretty good. However, the subject (anesthetic awareness), is all too real! My Mom has had a total of 3 hip replacements and the last one did not go so well. My Mom was actually awake during surgery, but could not move. It had traumatized her for quite some time after. I am not going to wreck the movie....I'm just saying it was a good movie.

Other things going on, ummmm nothing really. I have been un-focused and can't concentrate...and hoping to get that back today! I plan on trying to work the whole day and maybe accomplish something in my studio! It is pretty mild here (26 degrees above zero), no wind and just "picture perfect". I hope these more mild temps stay for a while. After all, it is about 60 degrees warmer, then what it had been just a bit over a week ago. Now all we need today is for the SUN TO SHINE! The sun shining, somehow seems to always make everything better. Have a GRAND FRIDAY. Toodles, ~Tonya
