Seems Like I been On Site Here For Many, Many Years!!!!!
I feel so, so old these days when I see the new members join us and most of them are doing pretty good where as I still feel I'm still recovering from the one stroke that got me here 12 years ago...... I start to think when will I be able to do things again as I once could do years ago since age is not on my side at 75 years old now.... I felt the same way after I got back from Vietnam and out of the hospital realizing my life was going to be a bit different and I would life a bit longer......
After seeing so may soldiers return from war torn areas in a box right here at Fort Hood Texas to be buried in the National Cemetery I started to think how blessed I was to come back alive after seeing my fellow soldiers killed when we were ambushed near a bridge that had been blown up the night before we got to it in Vietnam..... Just when I thought I would get over the war and was out the hospital the stroke hit me very hard so my wife had to quit her job to stay home and care for me and my long battle ahead of me recovering from the stroke.......
I have done the very best I could staying positive, trusting in God and praying my way through living as long as I have already..... Life is what we make it out to be happy or sad we still have to live as best we can with what we have left and it's not always easy..... But no one said it would be either..... I don't get out the house much anymore because of my poor ability to walk, it takes me so long to get where I'm going after I get out the car..... I got my scooter but at times I can't get the seat off to use my lift to get it loaded back in my vehicle.....
I start therapy tomorrow to see if I can gain more movement in my body and learn to use my paralyzed left side better because one handed is hard to do using a scooter all by myself...... That's all for now..... :roflmao:
