Sorry I have not updated lately, but I have been having some computer problems, and my computer genius (Nick) is not here. Last time I posted, I told you that Nick had broken his knee on his right leg (the good leg). He was hospitalized for that for about a week, and then [...]

Nick completed rehab last week and came home on the 12th. As he was entering our front door he fell while using his walker and broke a bone in his right knee. He has been back in the hospital since last Thursday. This is very frustrating because now he can’t use either [...]

Nick has been at the rehab hospital for almost a week now. He is making great progress, but he is exhausted. They are working him very hard both in physical therapy and occupational therapy. he had four hours of therapy a day 2 PT and 2 OT. Nick says that this is [...]

Tomorrow (Saturday), Nick will be transferred via an ambulance to a rehabilitaion facility. At the rehab center, Nick will begin to learn how to live life as an amputee. This is important because won’t be getting his prothesis until the end of the year. For now, he will be using a wheelchair [...]

Nick had his surgery. He now has a below the knee amputation on the left side. After the surgery, the doctor came out and told me that everything went fine and that Nick had definitely made the right decision to amputate. His left foot and ankle were no longer viable. When [...]

Nick has made the very difficult decision to go ahead with the amputation. On Monday, October 27, Nick will have a below the knee amputation on the left side. He has made peace with his decision because he knows that medically, and for the quality of his life, it is the right decision [...]

Just got out of the hospital after contracting pneumonia. Not being able to breath isn’t a whole lot of fun. However, a couple days of respiratory therapy and antibiotics and I’m good as new.
There are a couple of things that I really want to write about, but I have to look into them before doing [...]

Well, the time off was sorely needed and I feel better than ever. For the past couple of weeks, I have literally ignored the news and instead concentrated on music, family, and taking care of myself. Also, I took a business trip to Colorado and had a great time. Its the first time since my [...]

As I am sure you have noticed, this blog has not been updated regularly the past couple of weeks. I am going through some health problems right now, the most urgent of which is a possible artery blockage. Tomorrow I will undergo a procedure where the doctor will confirm if there is a blockage, and [...]

I don’t know about the rest of you, but this current presidential election cycle feels like it has been going on for the last four years or so. I am so sick and tired of all of it that I can’t even stand to watch the news for any more than five minutes before I [...]

The new version of WordPress has a lot of features built into it, and one of those features is the ability to use Gravatars. These are small pictures, or avatars, which are associated with your email address and will follow you around the web. Whenever you leave leave a comment on a blog that uses [...]

Tonight I took the plunge and went ahead and upgraded the WordPress software which runs this blog. WordPress 2.5 has many new features, however almost all of them are behind-the-scenes so readers should not really notice any differences. However, if you find that something no longer works, please let me know either in the comments [...]

Well, it must be very, very cold somewhere down below, because today the local paper, the San Antonio Express-News, published an article about blogging and it’s influence on politics, and they wanted me to represent the local bloggers. The article is not totally concerned with me and my “story,” it just uses portions of my [...]

I hope that you all have a safe and delicious holiday!

I made some behind-the-scenes changes to the blog today. I was originally going to completely change the look of the blog by installing a new theme, but decided against that drastic of a change for now. However, I have removed a few of the Sidebar Items and replaced them with other things.
You’ll notice there is [...]
