A fool and his money

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

When I was much younger I remember hearing someone say, “Don’t ever play poker with a guy they call Pops, don’t ever eat at a roadside restaurant call Ma’s and ….”  I’ll have to finish that thought in a minute. Last Friday Dr. Spetzler’s office called with the good news.  The other Cavernous Malformation is…

Why?

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

Many people have asked me if I’ve gone through the stage of asking, “why me?”.  I don’t know.  That seems like a stupid question.  Who’s going to answer and will it change anything?  Maybe I have, but I just don’t remember it.  I can remember nights where I couldn’t get to sleep.  While on heavy…

I did it!

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

I was as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs this morning, but I did it.  At both church services I gave the following speech on my progress.  It’s amazing how much it took for me to stand in front of a crowd and speak.  It used to be so…

Where’s your center?

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

One of these days I’m really going to accept who I am. There’s something about being “that guy” that grows tiresome. I took my car in for an oil change last week. Could have been a Victoria’s Secret supermodel and not have gotten any more looks. They must have wondered, “how did that guy get…

It was a dark dreary morning…

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

Regardless of the title, this story does have a happy ending. Shortly before 6:00 AM I woke up without the alarm clock, as is usually the case.  I’d actually been awake since 5:30 seeing what I could see.  Nothing had changed.  I got out of bed and walked down to the hall and went into…

My Six-Month Checkup

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

Last Friday was my scheduled Six-Month Checkup with my Neuro-Ophthalmologist.  Ophthalmologist  What a screwed up way to spell a weird word.  Anyway, earlier this week, the doctor’s office called and said that Dr. Katz was going to be out on medical-leave for 10 weeks.  Crap.  We had the opportunity to meet with his “Fellow” Dr. Collins…

It’s not that easy being Green

Posted on Blog Uncategorized

I told you last week about, my oldest son, Grant’s great taste in music.  Well, this week I went to my companies National Sales Meeting.  He gave me his old iPod to listen to during my flight there and back.  It was very nice to be able to close both my eyes and relax.  When…
