How Cool Am I?

Since an industrial injury has taken me almost totally out of action in June, 2001 I've had to make some adjustments in my life.

I've had to convience myself I'm not interested in the things I once did. A work related injury can retune your entire life.

I've focused a lot more on my immediate family and made a decision I didn't want to take a chance of them going through what I have gone through.

I don't trust the Government as much as I once did. Especially the US Labor Department and the California Workers Compensation Appeals Board.

Career politicians no longer get a free pass from me, Just because they claim to have experiance in Government should be a red flag for anyone to watch the back door for the crooks they are letting in.

I don't trust the FBI any more. Not since 911 and definately not since I got hurt at work and the company I worked for dumped the responsibility of my injury on the Social Security System. Something had to be illegal with letting a big corporation withold insurance premiums from an employees pay check and then dump the injuried employee off on the State. But, it really isn't considered a terrorist action and would never get anyone in the Government a medal anyway.

I like birds, still do, but I don't hunt them any more. I help my daughter raise them as pets. I'll leve a post on that topic one day. You'll have a blast hearing about her and her birds.

I really hate having to take pain pills four times a day just to take the edge off the pain. And I really hate what happened to my memory and concentration since I started taking the pills.

On the lighter side, I've been looking for ways to hook up this implanted spinal stimulator to tune into the baseball and football games. Can't get the insurance cmopany to budge on the concept.

I hate not being able to run, and exercise. I miss being able to wok up a good sweat and taking pride in what I repaired or installed.

I still like whinning to others. Sometimes it is with best intentions to forwarn others of what to expect in life as they get older and what they might do to avoid some of the mishaps I've had along the way.
