I want to thank everyone in my community. Y’all sent me so much love and care since I shared my experience with my sudden sickness. It was overwhelming to be draped with the deep care and kindness that I needed. I struggle with receiving; that is not a position I am comfortable. I like to be the dropper offer of food and treats. I want to be the one that is healthy a helper. It is hard to be the one who needs help. Receiving help is easier said than done. Friends from all parts of my life and the world sent me money, food, gifts, and cared for my children. My youngest child’s school held a fundraiser, organized a carpool for me, and sent me the kindest basket. Comedians came over with food (and edibles)! Fans venmo’d me … I have fans(?).
My neighbors came in and checked on me and made sure my kids had stuff to do. A straight-up stranger came and sat on my couch with me and tended my wound (jkjk). The support I received made it possible to endure this hella crazy health ordeal. But this is life right, it’s all in the journey.
I don’t know how to thank everyone properly but I’m working on it. I hope y’all know that I am forever grateful and changed by the way I was cared for. I am still recovering, my outside wounds have closed up and my lung capacity is back to normal. There is still more healing for me but I’m slowly slowly getting back, and maybe even better than before. Receiving y’alls love was the best medicine. Thank you.
On the comedy front - I’m doing my first show since getting sick tonight 10/1 at Kremwork - “Safeword”. I’ve updated my calendar with the few shows I’ve booked - at www.dewadorje.com (I have blog where i review media - for fun https://www.dewadorje.com/new-blog also) come for the shows, stay for the reviews :-) I’ll be back with the podcast and a regular show ASAP.
From my family to everyone - Thank you, we are truly a part of a community. Love you love you love you.
Peace,
Dewa, Nani, and Bobo (Dorjes)
