America’s east coast is being plummeted with snow and ice problems, this January. Each day is a mystery as I keep checking for leaks from my new roof and ice dams. The condition has almost ruined a window and has totaled a garage ceiling so far. No help or rest from it it seems. But as life goes on, there is always something that will get you no matter what it seems.
Health wise my back and neck injuries continue to ache and spasm for me. My Naval injuries get worse with time as the Doctors said degenerative conditions do that as you age. The arthritis builds in the spine and neck making it harder to do much at all at times. Ah well as I always have said no sense bitching anymore, because no one listens anyway and you get nothing out of it in the end. SO you move on and do what you can is all and survive.
Five days from now I shall turn 55 years old , hard to believe considering when I was younger I never thought I would survive beyond forty years old. As a child I had more problems then Jimmy Carter had peanuts on his farms. But somehow I over came most of them. I survived seizures, 198 of them in my first 9 months of life, then grew up with attention deficient disorder and hyperactivity which made my parents almost kill me or give me away, and overcame that by outgrowing it all. Then went on to have spinal damage in back and neck and PTSD problems and still continue on, after serving my country for 16 years. I think I did ok.
At almost 55, give me the 5 days now laughing, I have seen the world, protected my country the best I could and honorably, overcome childhood problems and now adult injuries incurred in service with Uncle Sam’s help of course. I originally dropped out of high school and went to work. Then got my GED, then served my country, got out injured went back to college and got an Associates in Hotel and restaurant Management thru Naugatuck Valley Community College. I won awards in college for different things and they now hang on my wall. Recently I completed a Writers Course thru Long Ridge Writers Group and got a diploma for that also. I think for a male who had so many problems I overcame just fine and survived long.
My blog I do when I have time these days, and I may rant, rave, complain, bitch, moan, about politics, economic woes, or health issues, or even mistreatment of Veterans like myself, but I survive.
