So it’s finally over. The last Special Programs exams at the VA for this increase in disability compensation from my current 70% rating to 100% due to “unemployability” are finished; I had the last two today. The only thing left to do now is to wait for the VA to make the final decision, August [...]
Man, I feel bloody awful!
Isn’t that a great way to start a post?
Unfortunately it’s true enough. I had a massive flare up of that service related problem in my gut last week (GERD and the effects thereof) and it’s taken this long not to get any better. It can quit it any time now I [...]
Okay, so I’m back. Now let’s make a long, bumpy (the ride) story rather…well…as long as it needs to be.
In 1981 someone dropped their end of a piece of rather large equipment and I ended up with a somewhat broken back–meaning I could still walk…after a fashion…with a lot of gritting of teeth. But because [...]
There are times when these disabilities of mine must have their way.
And this is one of them.
Back as soon as I’m able. In the meantime I’ve brewed up some coffee and ordered doughnuts for the interim. Feel free to make yourselves at home and if you have to use the bathroom, please leave the traditional [...]
I banged into Sixty’s site today to see what His Foolishness was up to and low and behold I found out through one of his latest posts that there’s a site for Disabled Boomers called Disaboom kicking around. Well what do you know? I actually qualify as one of these Disaboomers so there’s another typification [...]

Many thanks to Grandad. This absolutely horrendous, disjointed post is all his fault but he’ll probably blame it on K8.
And here we go….
I seem to be getting older these days. Not only am I getting older but it seems to be becoming a habit, a perpetual thing if [...]

So maybe some of you who glanced at the previous post are wondering what might have happened to prompt me to write such a thing? Well, maybe you didn’t but if you had really cared you should have…so there.
Anyway, as some of you know I am what you would call a disabled [...]
It’s been one hell of a week. So that’s not the best way to open a post but since this is my personal type blog and that’s the way I’m feeling, I don’t see a problem with it. So I repeat, it’s been a hell of a week.
