Bio

When I take general requests I give that person my full attention. Meaning I chat with ONE person at a time. I know that means I don't get as many chats in but I feel the person I talk to deserves my full attention. I consider myself funny and kind and I have a warped sense of humor. So if you try to message me please do not be offended if I don't answer. If I am with someone I don't check messages. But it never hurts to try. I put my button as green if I am on and active! Good luck to you. I understand the feeling of struggling every day. I know the feeling of wanting to give up. Please hang in there and reach out!

CHRONIC TESTICULAR PAIN

...See more Ok, I post this because you asked if your disability is not listed. Well there it is! See I know it will make you all laugh and that's great, we all need a laugh. But it actually is a huge issue for me. When I go to the hospital there is not "testicular pain" floor. So I get stuck in the most RANDOM places. I once was put in OBGYN! I once was put on the heart floor. I once was on cancer. My all time favorite???? BARIATRICS! I woke up from surgery and I was not supposed to be staying. So I was confused. I guess I was not waking up fast enough to make them happy so they were going to make me stay. I of course was groggy and confused. I noticed the room was HUGE. My bed was big too. So I am the type of patient who hates to make a fuss and I am always appologizing for everything. Well when you come on a stretcher to a new room it is always a production. They swoop in and you have like 4-5 people all around and they stickers go on and the leg cuffs and all that junk. They got ready to slide me over with a slide board. I said "no, no I can just move over myse;f." They were all like NOOOOOOO. But I was like "I am too fat to move, I don't want you to hurt yourself." No one told me I was on the floor where overweight people go. I mean like 400 pound people. This of course all made them laugh because at 165 pounds I was the smallest patient they had! Ahhhhhh, yeah that one was embarrassing when my wife wispered in my ear what BARIATRICS meant. Ahhhh good memories!
