At my core I am a pretty laid-back soul. During the first 20 years or so of my life I was an obnoxious, self-absorbed douche bag. I promised myself I would spend the remainder of my life making up for those years. I try to be an uplifting person to those around me while saving my dark streak for my writing. Pretty much nothings offend me. That ( Read more... )

Greetings from Da Floor!

That’s right, loyal reader….:I fell the eff out of bed again. 3rd time in as many weeks. No injury’s…just a little rug burn. We will have more news as it breaks. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming…

I had a pretty good week this week. Livin' that gym life and trying to struggle through the 2 monster blizzards that dumped a total 1 1/3" upon us. Yesterday was a pretty good day mosfly. Erica and I took Da Cripple Bus to the hospital and visited the gym. I hit all four of the machines that I intended to and wore myself out doing so. We bussed ( Read more... )

It’s currently 21° with a slight wind. The roads have all been covered with brine. A lot of the schools in the state announced today they would be closed tomorrow. We are stocked up with emergency supplies (Soy sauce, gingham, pressure treated lumber and silk hankies ( Read more... )

It was twenty years ago today Sergeant Pepper taught the band to play.

It was one year ago today WakeMed Hospital set me free as a paraplegic with a rented wheelchair.

My, my...how far I have come.

I’ve never kept a bad diet. I don’t feed myself a lotta snack foods. I do love ice cream and potato chips but limit the amount I consume. I’ve eaten so many salads in the last three months I have begun to grow rabbit ears. We have a salad when we go to the hospital to use the gym as we did yesterday. I fill my plate with all of the additives but ( Read more... )

It’s no exaggeration when saying upon leaving the hospital a year ago I was saddled with somewhere between 13 and 17 daily drugs. This wrinkles me because I don’t believe that at the slightest inclination something may be slightly wrong that you instantly run for prescription pills. I have been on one prescription or another for my hypothyroidism ( Read more... )

i had an appointment with the orthodontics yesterday. For the past decade I’ve had some pretty bad ‘Itis in my right knee. I took a steroid shot for it and it felt OK for about five years. Around 2020 the cortisone wore off and the pain eventually returned. I’ve worn a compression brace for at least 10 years. When I became a crip I had no sensation ( Read more... )

I will admit going to Da Gym is a new experience for me. When things get a little quiet I like to loudly say in my best mook voice “feel the burn” or “ no pain no gain!”. But it’s hard for me to take Gym Life seriously when 10 minutes into my workout, as I am on the verge of wearing down, the overhead speakers are blasting “Eye of the Tiger”.
