Once Again From the Top

Today was my return to  streaming . I’m a bit rusty and my computer was performing terribly but I had fun. I am going to try to start streaming Sevareid afternoons a week. Stop by and hang out with my goofy self.   So therapy this week was good but difficult. I able to raise my buttocks off of my bed briefly and I’m sitting up easier, with less assistance. However, on my Thursday therapy session I almost passed out. But that is part of the recovery process. I’m ready to try again this week. I appreciate all the love and support.  I’m still an affiliate for  IceVPN , and would encourage anyone who gets online to use a VPN. I promise it is simple to use and makes you less visible to hackers and keeps you safer online.  Any please like, comment, and share the blog to help me grow I’m hoping my journey will encourage someone who maybe is giving up. Peace and much love. 

  So it has been a week. To bring you up to date I’ll go back a few months… the hospital bed I have quit working and I’ve been trying to come up with funds to try and get it repaired. The short of it is, I’m hurting, pretty bad most of the time. I also had stomach troubles half the week. But, I refuse to let that stop me. I had a great therapy session earlier today, and I’m excited and nervous for next week and trying to stand up with assistance.  So if you are in need of a VPN (fyi if you aren’t using one you greatly increase your risk online), please consider using  IceVPN . They have plans to fit your budget and state of the art 256 bit encryption. Or if you want to upgrade the door locks for your home or office look no further than  Philips  they have a smart door lock to fit your needs.  Back to today. I had occupational therapy, which is for my upper body, and my hands (I have a damaged pinky which I could barely move, it is improving greatly). After ...

  It’s been a good week. I have pushed through the pain, and sat up with less assistance. One of my therapists has to take off next week due to school. However, when he returns he wants to start standing me up. I am a bit nervous about falling, but excited at the thought of being on my feet again. I’m ready to leave this bed.  I’m still doing affiliate marketing for  IceVPN  whose 256-bit encryption is state of the art. If you don’t have a VPN you are doing yourself a complete disservice. They have a free VPN with limited data or monthly and lifetime unlimited plans. Check them out and secure your digital identity. I’m also an affiliate for  Philips Home Access  who sells a variety of smart locks. Their lock range from keypads to biometrics. Make it harder for thieves to pick your locks, upgrade today.  I was given a Bed Ladder  to help me to sit up in the bed. I’m hoping to get it installed today by my friend.  I will keep you updated on my ...

Therapy started back this week, only had one week of down time while my insurance company approved continued coverage of my physical rehabilitation treatments. I want to thank the Houston Center for Independent Living for getting me a powered lift recliner (see picture below) that I am learning to transfer to, so I can sit up.  I am a now an influencer for  Ice VPN  and  Phillips Home Assets . If you’re online and aren’t using a VPN you are putting yourself at risk. Phillips Home Assets is a leader in smart door lock systems. If you are doing any home renovation or just want to be more secure check them out   Enough selling back to the blog. I was fortunate to have a former caregiver and friend stop by for a surprise visit this Saturday afternoon. I’m grateful there are people who care enough to stop by to see me. My mother also came out to see me as she does every week. We usually end up laughing. So, I mentioned earlier that therapy had restarted my occupation...

So I owe you all an apology for going dark, but I was going through a lot. I will spare the details and focus on the positive.  My doctor retired during my absence but his last act was to get physical and occupational therapy restarted for me. My new doctor is great and just as supportive and helpful. He got me a manual wheelchair so I can learn to transfer out of my bed.  Now to the picture; with the help of my therapist and my roommate I sat upright on the side of the bed for the first time in almost three years. I have been trying to sit up at each therapy session, and although I heed to brace myself on my walker I can sit upright for about ten minutes. I do need help to sit upright and lay back down, but it’s getting easier.  Part of the problem is my hospital bed went out and insurance says it is too soon for a new one. We are working on a solution. I will keep you updated.  As of today I am an Amazon Affiliate and will be posting products at the end of the blog...

  So, about a month ago, my wife moved out and served me divorce papers. I anticipated it, but it caught me off guard and put me in a financial bind. I am recovering from this blow. On top of this, I can no longer get my GLP-1 medication, as it is no longer covered by insurance for weight loss. It felt like everything was starting to unravel. As usual, when things start to crumble, God shows up. My roommate was allowed to work part-time as one of my caregivers, and my caseworker was able to get me a few more hours of in-home caregivers. This has eased the financial burden in the house. I found out that my insurance will cover bariatric surgery. I had an appointment with my doctor to get a referral to a surgeon, whom my sister used. I am taking steps to get things in order, to wit, I have a financial screening with the surgery center on Monday. I am also following up with the facility that is getting me a wheelchair that will make it into my bedroom. The PTSD nightmares have been in...

So, I know I missed a couple of weeks  I have had some major drama happening in my life. But I want to focus more on the good in my life. We are still working hard to find a therapy company that my insurance will approve. I am waiting on a call from the vendor about my getting measurements done for a wheelchair. Regardless of the past couple of weeks pain. I will be walking in some form this year.  I’m not staying in this bed. I don’t care how hard I have to fight. I’ll keep fighting the insurance company for the help I need. I’ll fight to get stronger. I will fight to have a life again. I know that God has a plan for me and I am trusting in Him to bring it to fulfillment.  My streaming community is growing.

  I spoke to my doctor Monday and he is wanting to restart in home therapy in preparation for me going into a rehabilitation facility in June. This is very exciting news. I’m working with a local group to get a wheelchair that will make it through the narrower doors of my bedroom. I’m very encouraged that this will be the year I start to walk again. I request that if you are reading this that you include me in your thoughts and prayers.  God is in control and I’m not done yet.  Streaming is going well I stream most days on  TikTok  feel free to come hangout at chat with me.  As always, thank you all for your support.

  Progress!! I received a phone call yesterday from the vendor that works with the agency that is trying to get me a wheelchair.  We are now waiting on the approval for funding. It’s a small step but I know God is working on this and by October I will be standing. I’m planning a vlog for next week on my birthday. I’m so thankful that I’m getting the help that I need to get better.  If you haven’t checked it out I’m streaming retro games on  TikTok  most weekdays around 3:30 p.m. central time. Currently playing the GBA version of Final Fantasy. If you haven’t checked it out yet, come hang out one day and chat with me. It’s nice to not talk to myself lol.

Some times the best thing you can do is to remain silent. This throws off anyone that is trying to get a rise out of you. When you don’t respond to their manipulation or anger, it serves the purpose of enhancing your peace. This skill takes much practice as our instincts are to lash out.  By remaining calm and even silent you speak volumes. You are saying that, “I am in control,and you can not break me,” This will have one of two effects: the other person will calm down, or the will have a meltdown. Either way you know that you peace, which comes from God, is maintained, and you have not sinned by becoming angry at your brother or sister. I’m not saying that some times anger isn’t justified, Jesus said, “blessed are the the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.” (Matt 5:9) Yet, he also flipped the tables in the temple in righteous anger.  On to personal matters. I’m working out three times daily, trying to get stronger. I am working on getting a wheelchair...

 So, I'm a tad behind. We are a month into the new year and this is the first blog. I make no apologies, simply the vow to try harder. I want to build the following of the blog this year, so, if it has reached you, and you enjoyed it, please like, comment, and share the blog with others. Now to the current idea for how I am hoping to run the blog this year. I am wanting to use it as more of an online journal, where I post written updates a few times a week. Now I still want to do the occasional purely video blog, at least once a month, and probably some intermittent hybrid style blogs with journaling and video. As always constructive feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Let's get into the journaling. Life has been interesting since my last update.I've been attempting to workout more frequently, now I feel the timing is right to begin to increase the difficulty of my workouts. I want to increase weights, reps, and vary the routine. I will walk again this year. As soon as I ...

 

I’ve been silent too long. Spent the summer depressed, financial woes, an impending divorce, a leg wound that won’t heal, well you get the point. But God has kept me through it all. I thought I would try my hand at a cybersecurity certification course, got way behind, but it looks like I will get my required work done. I’ve started streaming in the evenings on  twitch . The quality could be better but I’m limited by my gear. Come hang out, I play retro video games, and would love people to talk to. My doctor has increased my Mounjaro, and I'm continuing to lose weight.  

 The Push is Real I’m going to start rehabbing faster and harder until I an out of my bed and mobile again. I tired of not being go see friends plus I’m moving in a few months and I can’t do that from my bed. I’m doing well in school, especially considering I do all my work from my phone. My iMac won’t run the software, so my phone is my only option. I am going to start trying to blog at least once a week, with special updates on occasion.  On the divorce front, she keeps saying she will file, but no action. So, I guess I’m going to file on her. I’m working on the paperwork now. I am ready for this to be over.  My leg wound is healing up nicely, and is forming a heart shaped scar. But it’s still going to be a few months before it’s closed up.  As always thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Peace and much love.
