About me:
Well, I did make 55 this year. I've got some real problems.....Like Cats ! Got 5 that let me live with them and 3 that are just strays but, I take care of 'em anyway. Cars, it's a good thing I don't have any money, I'd have WAY too many. My '95 Riviera is by far the sweetest ride I own. All the bells and whistles including a supercharger. Then there's Jr. He's my old, reliable '92 Buick Regal that I can always count on. Damn thing is healthier than I am and it's got a quarter million miles on it just like the Rivi. I'm a total news junky. Probably too much news but, it keeps me off the streets. Got lots of music in my roots that I try to keep getting back to. Play a bit of guitar, really miss having a keyboard. Kinda stuck on 80s music but, still enjoy late 60s, some good stuff from the 70s. Stuff that's out there today kinda leaves me with a blank stare. I go from Clapton, Allman Bros., to 80s euro stuff. Not enough room here for all.
I'm medically sidelined/disabled/retired whatever you want to call it. I used to over indulge with alcohol and my pancreas didn't agree with that program. Numerous surgeries and a bunch of other "procedures" to try and keep what's left of it functional before I go diabetic. Really screwed myself up in more ways than one. Ruined a marriage, kinda drove my 2 girls away which really hurts. Still have a pretty good relationship with my son, the IT geek. Super proud of him !! Proud of my girls too. To be able to live in the situation they're in, hasn't been easy on them. Biggest mistake I ever made was ruining my relationship with them. I miss them so much. Really hurts. I keep in touch with my son via computer and I've finally got my big sister doing IM. It's great to be able to keep in touch with her. I can keep her informed of my ongoing health saga and get to hear about the adventures of her family.
Right now, aside from not being able to move back east, my self imposed exile out here is really kind of the best for me right now. I've got the best medical care I can get with my disease. My pancreas Doc is one of the best in the country and my GP is one of the Docs who finally got my diagnosis after UMass couldn't figure it out. That's a long story. The weather here is much better than having to shovel snow. The winter kinda sux down here in the valley but, it could be a whole lot worse. The spring to fall really makes up for it even when it hits 100+. I've also got a great support network here to fall back on when I need it. I've babbled enough for this part, time to move on.
HEALTH UPDATE !! 11-9-07
Just got through with 2 hospital stays out in Colusa for an infarcted spleen ! Don't ask, I didn't do it. It just broke ! So, now I have to wait while the damaged part necrotizes and my body absorbs it' Then it will scar over or so they tell me. In the mean time it just hurts and makes me more nauseous. Oh Well, another day in the life of decomposing man!
