Consider it as a bloodless amputation.... in amputees, there are still events of feeling phantom pain in phantom limbs long since gone wherever they go [the incinerator?] as with my sister-in-law, Teri. No legs for years now due to RSD, but phantom pain to beat the band.
The brain is a wondrous creation and a baffling recorder of data which bubbles out in some of the most creative, embarassing, painful, humorous, incredulous, precious ways...... as in my father, who with alzheimers, was attending a funeral of a friend and wondered out loud why "that guy" was laying in a box.
Mystery, this no doubt best describes the brain and its very existence.
God,
the mysteries of faith,
the incredible brain,
things happen,
faith protects,
agape,
Mark56
