Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Well,I made it back one day later.Today,I was thinking how lonely life can be when,I quit working and spend most of the time at home.Also living in florida now makes it tough.There has only been a handfull of people that stopped by the house when,I was in ohio.People have a hard time with visiting a friend that has been diagnosed with a terminal illness.What do you say to them,How are you doing.Also to make things worse my speach is very slurred.So,I have made up my mind.I need to venture out a couple of times a week and go fishing,I love to fish.As you can see by the pixs my beautiful wife posted that she surprised me with a fishing trip.She is the most unselfish person you will ever meet.Gotta go hope to post later.Bcool

Update my status on life





Well it's been awhile since the last blog.Here is a update of what has been happening in my life.As you can see,I am still walking.But,I have got to be holding on to something.I was thinking the other day.How could,I explain what it feels like for me to stand and walk.So this is what,I came up with.Drink a fifth of jim beam,six or seven beers and four or five shots of sour mash moonshine.Then strap on a pair of ten foot stilts.We are in florida.My wife is down here working at the nuke plant.We would love to be back home in ohio,But this job is a year long and the money is great.MY WIFE WORKS HER ASS OFF.So we can afford all the different supplements and homeopathic herbs.Here is a laugh,My wife has great insurance and they will pay top dollar for treatment that has little or no effect on the problem.But buy a bottle of herbs,plants and roots that has been a huge benefit to my health and if you would ask them to pay for that bottle they would laugh and hang up on you (go figure)If,I would of just stuck to the conventional meds,I would be alot worse off or dead.Thanks to my wifes relentless pursuit of detoxification and natural medicines that have extended my life maybe to old age and made the quality of life so much better.(THANKS BABE).a.l.s. IS PART OF MY LIFE NOT MY LIFE.I was stuck in that pit for awhile and stroll back there once in awhile.It does nothing but bring you down and those around you.This disease affects every one around you(CALLATERAL DAMAGE).I hope to start posting something everyday,We will see,I have been telling myself when you start something follow thru and finish.I am a new work in progress.(OBOY).Blog at ya later.Bcool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
