The Chronicles of Jim Saahuun, Oct.20.11
While Jim Saahuun is still in recovery and out of the Intensive Care Unit, Saahuun contemplates the time lapse between his last conscious memory and the moment he awakened from his coma in the hospital.
His uncle Jimmy Ju, from Whapmagoustu, enters the room carrying with a container of bear grease, sweat grass, including a very large fruit basket from ediblearrangements as his attending physician, Dr. Jack Wayne Showagon, completes his round and says that "he is recovering very well and should be released as soon as his results are in from the scans and blood work are available."
Saahuun's room is filled with various bouquets, get well soon cards, goody bags from his friends, colleagues, and cousins. A smudge bowl sits beside his bed and while his iPhone is recharging beside it.
"Wachiya James, ji miiyuubiin aa?" (Greetings James, how are you doing?) says Jimmy Ju.
"Keebaw, nashtaabaw ashk nuwii jeeshkawyaaptaan apsheesh kiiyaa daw mishao dipaajimuun maakawj kaa jeeshkawnaashinyaan." (Yes, I am still feeling quite dizzy however I have a great story to share with you while I was in a coma) replies Saahuun.
"Daabaw ah? Jaakawn meen kaa uupuuwaatim maakawj kaa neepich?" (Really? I would like to hear what you have dreamt this time over the course of the summer [his coma lasted the entire season of a summer]) - Ju replies with a question as he sits down and begins nibbling on some of the chocolate-dipped fruit arrangement. He offers his nephew to light and smudge with the sweet grass before Jim begins recounting his dream during his coma state...
"jaakat nuuwinjiswaan, mawyaa meen kuukuum kaa meesk jaa duumineesuut int kaa uushuuk'shineen." (I almost forgot, here is what your grandmother gave you to use for your wounds for you to rub where you injured) - Ju handing over the bear grease, almost forgetting that it was in his coat pocket.
He adds "kaawii winsjiss jishtikawn kiiyaa jaa tuuminim." (don't forget to rub your head as well)
"Akuuda, jiniskuumitin." (Alright, thanks) replies Saahuun with scintillating smile. He proceeds to balm his wounds, bruises and his head with bear grease. Jimmy ju takes the sweet grass, lights it in prayer of gratitude and aids his nephew with the bear grease application on his legs too.
"So what was your dream about nephew?" asks Ju.
"Aye, ..." Saahuun gets interrupted by the entrance of Don Jitjaan, the gossip queen nurse, who comes in to replace Saahuun's Saline IV bag and greets Jimmy Ju with an overtly flirtatious smize. Ju looks over at Saahuun blankly and Saahuun rolls his eyes back in a "dessuuwii" manner. A clinical nursing student also accompanies Jitjaan as she silently observes beside Jitjaan's side.
"Mr. Jimmy Ju, I heard about your loss. My condolences." - Jitjaan is referring to Ju's dead and much-beloved pug Joey JuJu, who got too-excited and started chasing a herd of Caribou over the winter at the Ju trapline, leaving behind Joey Juju's fate of being trampled corpse as the herd fled the scene.
Saahuun tried his best to keep from laughing at his uncle's dog ironic and tragic death. Joey JuJu eagerly wanted to be a hunting dog despite his physical setback of being a pug with a flat face nevertheless, his uncle always brought him along during his hunting trips for company.
Jimmy Ju, takes another bite off the fruit bouquet and nods his head in silent acknowledgement.
Jitjaan finishes replacing the saline bag and exits promptly to notify his colleague, Dawn Nipii-Oso, also a nurse/Don's hag, about Jimmy Ju's presence. They both start tweeting in excitement about the famous handsome uncle/medicine man that discovered the cure for the common cold. . . The clinical nursing student exits after Jitjaan with a huge silent smile on her face, just like Saahuun, is trying to withhold her laugh as she walks out the door...

random thought of the moment
secretly wishing there was a way to stop time and simply paint for an eternity...
however, in the real word...
there are still more readings to do,
draft those papers,
My mind is already fondue,
Yet my thoughts have become like dreamers.
Some Lessons by day,
more prices to pay,
vices to keep at bay,
No more time to play,
All of this leads to the inevitable decay.
