Thank you for your patience
Obviously I haven’t posted for the last several days. There’s a simple reason for this.
I haven’t felt all that well.
In fact, I’ve felt absolutely lousy and yes, it has to do with those blasted disabilities of mine (may they rot in whatever area of hell is reserved for disabilities that hinder the lives of man). [...]

Triple Whammied
I seemed to have triple whammied myself. Sucker punched, knocked over and kicked myself when I was down. Slam, bam, wham and I was out. Or wish I was.
I’m not going to go into any detail here but it has to do with an apple (Cortland—first one in two years), RLS and more RLS. The [...]

Drawn, Quartered and De-Brained

I’m beginning to feel a bit like Mel Gibson at the end of Brave Heart just after the executioner shows him an item that strangely resembles a $3.00 [...]
The Last Exam

The only thing left to do now is to wait for the VA to make the final decision, August [...]
One Nasty Week
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 [...]

Back From the VA Finally and it’s my Hip!
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 [...]
