i'm just tryin to live my life, not thinking what's age-appropiate...you're probably right, I don't act like most dudes my age. But I'm really trying to act any age, just keeping the boat from turning over, so to speak.

Ahhh, it's been a while since my last blog installment, and honestly, I ddon't have anything to get off my chest. So, i'll just write until I stop. lol
I've juststarted wearing shorts, even though it's been very warm for a while here in Florida. It always feels a lil weird at first, like these legs have been hiding. I can't believe it, but they still havve good color- def not white. A lil bit of sun, and they'll be close to the brown shade of shoulders. Lately, everytime i play music with Don and Ash I get asked if they're my kids. I always say, "If they were, I'd thrown them off the Skyway Bridge a long time ago." Well, i guess it does look funny to people; an obviously older guy in a chair singing, while they back me up on guitars. Makes me think about my young-lookin pinay girls I chat to; if i ever brought one here, i might start getting the grandfather question. Ohhh boy! lol When i go out with my niece, it's the same way. They think either dad, or sugardad. lol Look, i'm just not attracted to women my age (usually), and you know what,? They aren't interested in me either, which is fine. I have had a few come on to me, and i'm just not allured at all.
Something that really plagues me more than ever is 'fatigue,' or blood pressure drop. It affects my driving and playin music. The other night, while singing with my band at open mic, my neck stiffened up, i could barely move, trying to sing hard enough to make it right. I felt like i might pass out. Fucking crazy. This never used to happen in my younger days. My neck n shoulders were sooo sore the next day.
Ok, that's it for na...peace!

Friday night I drove to St Pete to meet up with my niece to see a few bands that I've known some of the players for many years. We had a super cool time, and this pic is my niece, me and my friend/singer in one of the bands. We had a few drinks before the funk soulicious vibes got going. Me and my niece really have this special bond that I value more than anything. It's a long story, but my sister/her biological mother had lot of problems; she was very troubled, and so my niece was adopted by my cousin. Because of my sister's probs, i could never have a close relationship with her. She died about seven years ago from Cancer, and my niece had never really met my sister aside from the first few days of her life. Melie is grown now, and she's nothing like my sister. My niece never had much a relationship with my cousin either, who had her own fucked up probs tat made Melie's life hell as a kid. Anyway, me and Melie's bond, love and chemistry is everything that my sister couldn't be. She's like my daughter/sister in many ways, and I know she loves me like crazy, too.  |

I forgot to mention something from the other night. Some guy came up to my niece and asked if he could take a picture of us together bcoz he could see the love. Feeling it was kinda weird, you know, like "sympathy porn," my niece said "No...isn't that kinda weird?" The guy disappeared, but came around later trying to dance with me. I draw all the weird motherfuckers, man. lol

I haven't posted anything here in a while, and I admit, I don't read much on here either lately. The past month or two has been the toughest time I've had in my 37 yrs as quad. For some reason one nght I started having very severe headaches with very high blood pressure. It happened every time i spasmed, or when my aide helped me in/out of bed. These headaches were throbbing mind-bender. I couldn't even talk, and they didn't go away easy. I really thought i was having a stroke or an aneurysm. Sometimes I would wake up in middle of night very spastic, and as soon as i'd spasm the pain would hit me in my head so hard, not go away. The one thing that would get rid of it was taking muscle relaxants. I went through a LOT trying to not spasm bcoz of the pain. Also, just my aide messing with me in any way would set the headache off. I went to ER twice, looking for any answer. They found nothing, but they did stick a catheter in me. They thought my bladder causing the probs. It did nothing, and i still have the fuckin cath in me.
After many weeks of this misery, it started going away. My theory is something was in pain in me, but being a quad, i couldn't feel it, and it was causing disreflexia. I don't know for sure, just a guess. Just as headaches went away, i formed a few sores on my ass. Now, I'd gone years without one, but here I was with two sores that came on me fast. My theory again: since the stuck the cath in me, it's made my legs, maybe ass, too, skinnier...thus, breaking down quick. Anyway, after weeks of lot of bed rest, sitting on Roho, which i hate, I've almost got em healed. Then my chair handle BROKE....yesss, that motherfucker broke off, so i had my best friend take chair and weld it. I spend all Saturday in bed, and it really sucked, but I kept telling myself it was good for my ass to be off it.
Quad Life, bitches! lol
btw, I quit playin music, haven't done shit in two months. On a good note, some writer-lady wants to help me find an agent to get my book published. I sure need that kinda help.

I was only thinking the other day that we hadn't heard from you in a while! Sure sounds like AD, caused by who knows what. I'm glad you seem to be on the mend even if the chair has disappeared off to the A-Team mobile welding division for repairs.
Soon you'll both be as good as new and making music again. Keep on rocking and rolling T to the P ;-)
