Life is precious

Originally posted 2019-06-01 06:17:25. My son… silly that he looks like he works out but he only works fork to mouth. You can see the vagal nerve stimulator in his chest to aid with his intractable seizure disorder – I never thought I’d see him reach 25 years old. He’s had meningitis and with his immune system the way it is they weren’t sure if he’d be able to fight it. My momma was there…

Originally posted 2017-07-03 14:02:58. It’s summer time, I have a small garden with many potted container plants and they need tending to on a daily basis. So, along with that comes your body sometimes not wanting to roll out of bed.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s because of all the shots they get in Marine Corps, lol. Anywho, I take his blood pressure and it’s 187/120 and his pulse is 69. No other complaints. I get him a Gatorade. I them start texting my daughter ( if…

Summer Skin

Originally posted 2020-07-25 09:00:00. With all this summer heat what are you using to combat chafing? After my spinal fusion I developed what I call my kangaroo pouch. It’s a roll of skin, muscle and well fat…. It has been cut through so many times and nothing I do reduces its size. I had a doctor tell me it may be dangerous to cut it off because the amount of scar tissue inside of it.…
