    About Me

    Biggest Adversary right now is depression, too many memories of good times, and too many people that have come and gone, that I cling to, for they brought me joy, hope or comfort, now alone in old age, which is the worst than can happen to one, is a common occurence now days. I have seen to many things, been to far too many places, and now they haunt me. AKA>HD/(Hip disarticulation)(partial hip removal)Recently diagnosed with being extremely sarcastic, no medical help available. Dear All, I hurt like hell, a life of Neuropathic pain, extremely severe. all interests have been robbed by this pain. But hey, it's all in my head right? You can't see it, so I must be making it up. That is how the world views anyone who claims they are in pain, you know that as well as I. Oh, and there are way too many handicap parking spaces. Just ask any kid in a jeep.

    Interests

    Todays Pain Scale Art, photography, my interests had to change with my disabilities, and now I often wonder how todays children make it in todays world. Things are a lot tougher for them than they were for me. I don't believe in war, or in any form of police action to justify the changing of a countries government because we, or our corporation, do not like it.
