My "40's" hit me like the proverbial "ton of bricks". My eyesight has begun to get blurry, I'm overweight, had colon cancer...radiation...chemo, now have diabetes, psoriasis, and high blood pressure, but more importantly, I recently lost mom. She had me when she was 19 years old, so we kinda grew up together.
You'll have to forgive my writing style, as I kinda write like I talk. Jump subjects, sometimes in mid-thought, but try (hopefully) to get my point across. Since this is my first attempt at blogging I'm sure it won't interest many people, but I will try to stick with it in hopes of helping just one other person.
Do you all remember as kids our elders always said, "these are the best days of your life," and how full of sh*t we all thought they were? Well, now, I kinda understand where they were coming from. Do you?
All we had to do was to get up, go to school, go out and play. My brother and I would run home from the bus stop to watch Speed Racer, and Ultraman or Johnny Socko and his Flying Robot, then homework (if any), and go out and play until called in for supper. Our best friends were Craig, Brian, and Eric, 3 brothers that lived 2 blocks away, and if we weren't home, we were probably over there.
Anyway, my mom had kidney disease since 1999, and I had been her main caregiver ever since, and now that she's gone, I'm rather lost. Hopefully, this blog will be an outlet where I can find some peace of mind, and if any of you are in similar places in your lives, we can comiserate. I welcome any and all comments, just please keep it civil, and as long as you respect my 1st amendment rights, I'll do the same for you. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll talk soon.
