It took some work but we managed to replace the footrest on my chair. We found a company, Reliable Medical Supply who were able to assist us quickly, easily, and without fuss. I rode out of the building, the new footrest on and I felt completely restored. I’d ridden around pushing and holding my one leg up […]
Yesterday I posted something I thought very funny on Facebook. I had been rolling around in the pharmacy department of the grocery store where we were shopping and I noticed, for no reason at all, that they had a huge selection of men’s incontinence wear.

She needs little support, she can manage her own money, she can shop and cook nutritious meals, she is well liked in the building in which she lives. When staff visits, she’s strict about her privacy. They can come in […]
My faith, whatever it goes through throughout the year, is strongest at Easter. I am not supposed to be a Christian. By loving me, God is acting in defiance of Christian doctrine. Being gay, excludes me from the family of God, though any family that excludes and banishes its children us unworthy of the word. […]
Most of the time it’s just a simple, pleasant way to live your life. Most of the time, it gives you a high quality of life. When I was a boy, even though I was considered a fat, dumb, kid, I noticed that there were those people in the world who were just simply nice. […]
It’s been a long week. And I’m still weak. But I’m better. I fell ill on Monday and it worsened over the week. I had three days off from work, but had to work Thursday, but came home and near collapsed from exhaustion. People think otherwise but I don’t actually get sick often. Particularly as […]
