I wasn't fishing for comments......however, I do believe my father-in-law updates and things associated are sometimes a little too much reality for some here.

As sad, difficult and triumphant as some of my updates have been over the past six months, spending time at TIRR truly reveals what sad and difficult can be. I see many people in there who would gladly trade conditions with my father-in-law. People who hope and pray to someday be able to reach the level my father-in-law is trying to recuperate from.

This being said, the doctors are saying my father-in-law is defying the odds and re-writing case studies. When suffering from West Nile Virus at this level of attack, less than 1% survive. At this level WNV attacks one of two ways:

A) you must relearn EVERYTHING, just like an infant.

B) it attacks the body like polio effecting the lungs and pulmonary system.

My father-in-law is recovering from, B).

Three weeks ago, our local hospital came in and informed the family that they would be moving my father-in-law to a nursing home in Liberty, Texas. Fortunately, my wife and her mother had gone and toured this facility and knew this was the LAST place they wanted my father-in-law to be. Phone calls were placed, strings pulled and the move to Liberty was avoided.

The following week (just two weeks ago), my father-in-law was moved to TIRR. Within two day of being at TIRR, my father-in-law was feeding himself solid food.

How was this able to start so quickly when he had been IV fed the a liquid diet for the previous six months?

A TIRR doctor came in and put his hands around my father-in-laws neck as my father-in-law took a small sip of water. The doctor who did this was able to determine by feel which muscles in my father-in-laws neck was strong / weak. After a few days of being limited to green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy, cut up carrots and such, my father-in-law was able to build up all of his neck muscles. Yesterday, I watched him cut up a grilled chicken breast and eat every last bite.

Eating real food, he is now gaining weight and building strength. He is wearing his speaking valve which allows us to carry on conversations with him.

A big part of his daily workout is reading. Believe it or not, reading and being able to control your breathing while breathing can be a difficult thing to overcome. He is doing so well, they've reduced his reading "workout" time to just thirty minutes per day. OH - and they have him reading Bible versus and paragraphs from Tom Sawyer and Moby Dick.

SO - while yesterday's evening workout was taking place where they were working on shifting weight / balancing while reaching for something over your head, I watched a high school aged girl brave her workout.

It was clear she had broken her back, but appeared to have full mobility of her upper body. The trainer held a long flexible rod at one end while she held the other. The trainer would flex the rod and she with force had to stop and return the flex with one hand. It appeared she was doing this with easy effort, smiling the entire time. She was also able to pick up a medicine ball on one side of her body and move it to the other side of her body. From what I was viewing, I was thinking maybe her condition wasn't that bad.

Boy was I wrong!

When the workout had concluded, they moved a machine over that hooked on to this tarp type thing she was sitting on. They pulled the tarp ends together, hooked it to the machine and the machine lifted her up and moved her to her wheelchair. I guess from the waist down she was dead weight. Unable to control or move anything. I noticed as she was being moved to her wheelchair, she was no longer smiling.

I felt so sorry for her. She seemed to be so sweet and outgoing. The type of girl I would want my daughters to be friends with. She was athletic, not a workout freak, but you could tell she probably played soccer, volleyball or something like that. Due to some pink places on her legs, I'm guessing she may have been in a automobile accident.

I have a few others I could tell about, but I'm tired of typing for now. Also, TPC Sawgrass is about to come on, so I'm going to fix some lunch and watch some golf. Sort of my day of rest before getting my azz kicked delivering Mother's Day flowers over the next couple of days.

Perhaps....but that's why I'm still reading your posts regardless if I respond or not(basically saying what @)(&*$*(&$)(#*&%)* said).

I felt the same way BP. When I saw how bad off the other people at the skilled nursing facility were (where my mom spent 3 months after almost dying last november), it drove home the point I always try to keep in mind. No matter how bad you are, how hopeless the situation, there is someone nearby who would gladly trade their life for yours.

I wish more people lived their lives with this thought.

OH - one thing I enjoyed during my hospital stay, being able to watch story unfold about the girls from Cleveland, Ohio. Charles Ramsey had one of the best interviews full of one liners EVER:

“He’s got some big testicles to pull this off.”

“I barbecued with this dude, we eat ribs and what not, listen to salsa music.”

“Bro, I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms. Something is wrong here. Dead giveaway.”

“She homeless or she got problems. Only reason she runnin’ to a black man.”

Then we find out today that Mr. Ramsey gave the reward money to the girls.

Major Prop's to Charles Ramsey!

i have an interview about some other job this coming tuesday.
even by the small talk i had with the guy/interviewer on the phone, he seemed like an asshole.
the guy who interfered for this interview, is friend of my parents and is full of shit. my father says: oh he is such an asshole, in the low iq manner.
he -not my father, the middle guy-told me that this guy doesnt usually hire women, because they create problems.
hahahahhaha i ll bitch about this in the interview..if i get the chance.
sorry for the rant; i have zero luxury to diss any job atm, but...i think i will.

i always wanted to have a bar, where i would be able to go and have a drink by myself. knowing the people who work there and feel it like home. i sort of have a place like that in the center, but its not ideal, not a drinking place, more like a bar-smallclub and i dont live in the center.
i want to make another bar, home, near my area and hopefully, i ll go there tonight alone after SWANS LIVE YAY!!!

generally i always wanted to be able to go to a bar and have a drink on my own, even without knowing the people, but that would assume that i live in a busy area with bars near by and i dont.

reminds me of the time i got head from a wannabe dyke girl in highschool who had a slightly shaved head. or crew cut.

the sucking and the the feel of her short prickly hair on my hand will be a sensation that will follow me forever.

pleasurable? yes. freaky? mos def.

trivia about swans live last night:
a friend is working with the organisers and he was whole day with the band and he told me stuff whining, stuff that i was finding cool though.
the band wanted to play for 3 hours, the organisers said no.WTF MAN!???
Gira was pissed because they didnt get him stuffed tomatoes to eat (traditional yummy food, so who can blame him?).
he was pissed (lol) because there was a gab between the stage and the crowd. 'what the fuck is that? i wanna be near to the people!'.
and he also told my friend to change the ringtone of his phone, because he didnt like it. my friend at some point told him 'its ok, its not like we gonna be hanging around for long'.
