adventures in health
I returned to the gym yesterday. I had a several week hiatus- for several real reasons and excuses. Amazing how quickly the body changes one way or another. I have to keep that in mind as I sweat all over the exercise e…

I wanna be sedated
After being motivated by e:jim (and my wife, my mom, my co-workers, and my general state of disorganization), I sought treatment for ADHD, which I have had for as long as I can remember. Up until this point, I just work…

When animals attack
Thinking that I would avoid any problems with the world, I though that it would be a good idea to go over to a house of a friend of mine. He has a wife & a 6 month old child so they definitely do not get out much. I did…

The Complete Suckitude of Bell's Paulsy
This hasn't been fun. You know you're getting older when your ailments get more complex. After 7 to 8 days of Prednizone and an Antiviral prescription with barely pronouncable name, I muddle along waiting for improvemen…

Smoking At Roswell
Sorry e:imk2 and e:jim but this is a anti-smoking rant. I get it, smoking is addictive. I smoked cigarettes before but cancer is deadly and smoking significantly raises your risk of cancer. Its a simple equation. Cancer…

My Appendix and the ER
So I finally decided to offload the pics from my camera and found some from the night I got the appendix out. That afternoon, my stomach started to really hurt - right where my appendix is - I chalked it up to Crohn's a…

Incentive Spirometer and other stuff
The most ridiculous medical device I have ever seen is this incentive spirometer that I received at Buffalo General the other day while getting my appendix out. It basically gives you visual feedback by lifting a marble…

Oh yeah, got to have drugs
One of my staff is satan. She has equated not being a meat eater to being healthier in a holier than thou sort of way. While I certainly respect that dietary choice and have cut down siginificantly in my own consumption…

Back to Patrick O'neil Chiropractic
I went back to the chiropractor today because my neck was so messed up from computing with a 3rd monitor and then plumbing a drain in a cold draft. I am always amazed at our fast a chiropractic appointment is. I serious…

Turning the page

Party's over
Thanks for the good wishes all, but I wish I was off to a better start. Roswell is out of options for Dad-in-law. It's pretty much killed my celebratory urges as his only meaningful phone call is going to Hospice. When …
