I'm back.....
Sometimes in life you need to vent...and for the past few years I've managed to cope with life and all the bullshit it has thrown my way over the years..but my patients are wearing thin...
Where do I start...January 2008 I blew a disc in my back riding mx(dirt bike racing)...I was on the floor for 6 weeks and couldn't do a thing...ended up selling my mx bike and gear (one of the hardest things I've ever had to do)...and was told I would need surgery etc to function normally again with a 50/50 chance the surgery could make things worse...well thankfully I opted out of the surgery and I am somewhat 90% functional most days...
Then in November 2008 I ended up with several ER hospital visits because of my heart...I've had tickers problems for over 10 years and things went from bad to worse...after being shocked on several occasions in the ER (the last one ended up putting my back out again) I wound up receiving surgery to try and correct the problem this last spring 2009...the doctors told me it would take several months to know if it worked for sure..the surgery is 80% effective...it looks as though it may not have worked....having said that goin to the ER once a week is no fun either and I havent had to do that in months...
July 2009 my boat was stolen from my driveway on a Sunday night. the trailer tongue was locked so they must have had another trailer waiting and lifted the boat off my trailer onto another somehow...I had just bought it only weeks before...my son was very uspet as he couldnt go fishing with me anymore...the insurance company was only willing to cover $1000.00 with a $500.00 deductable...the kicker was they said we would lose our discount next year if we made the claim (that added to $380 over 3 years)...not worth it...
August 2009 my truck caught fire coming home from camping...long story short nobody was hurt as passerby's had a fire extinguisher with them and I managed to put it out quickly...my son was terrorized by the incident and we were lucky to get the dogs out of the back of the truck and the travel trailer disconnected (propane tanks on board)...once again the insurance company fucked me over...told me they were going to 'write off' the truck only to tell me 3 weeks later the opposite... it was a "mechanical'' problem that caused the fire and they would only cover the cost of the damage the fire causes...not the cause of the fire...I gave up fighting with them and simply sold the truck for parts as my son would not go near it again even if there were going to fix it...
Life can be a very scarey lonely place...and no matter how 'tuff' (everyone says that about me) a person is sooner or later they have to be human and break down...I'm not sure if I'm there yet (it feels like it) or if I'm jus havin a bad couple of weeks...either way I need something positive to happen...because its been a fucking long time since that has happened....
On the plus side I have a little family now...a 3 year old son and a gf of 5 years!!!And through thick and thin they havent traded me in for a newer model..so I have to be thankfull of that...
