Hiya boys and girls. It's been a while since I've updated this. I had laser surgery on my eyes to try to clean up some of this foggy crap I've been looking thru, it did help some. Last week was a nervous week, My wife had 2 biopsies on Tuesday for breast cancer. 3 days of waiting for results. Luckily they turned out negative. Have a great day!!!!

Well Evan goes back to his retinal specialist on November 10th and we do all those wonderful light tests and stuff so that he can be sick for hours. But i'm hoping for good news. Let's just hope nothing has changed. We will be going after that to Kosair's children's hospital for gentetic testing. He is so strong he told his TA that he can't tell mommy about the crumbles ...1 Comment -

The past has no power to stop you from being present now. Only grievance about the past can do that. And what is a grievance? The luggage of old thought and emotion.

I can not believe it's Oct already. I quit smoking in the middle of August, and those first few hours and days seemed to drag. I wasn't sure I could make it through the day, much less through a week or a month or two. Now, here I sit with rarely a thought of a cigarette, when I see someone smoking, I notice how foolish it looks, and I notice the strong stale odor.
I consider my...

I'm going to do some soul searching, look for my zen, find enlightenment, salvation, you know "happy-ness". Now, I'm not talking about just feeling happy, I already feel fairly happy on my worst days. I'm talking true happiness, I've seen it just a few times in my life, but I know it exi...3 Comments -

Ok, what should be my next goal?
Monday, September 14, 2009
I honestly don't see my self slipping anymore. I'm 32 days without a smoke and I think 27 without the nicotine gum. Now, it's just up to me to keep it that way. I've been in every situation that could have turned me around; stress, other smoker's, out drinking with my friends. I don't want to feel cocky, because I know one drag will ruin me, I have to remind myself of that...5 Comments

Retinitis Pigmentosa Information
Retinitis pigmentosa, or RP, is a genetic eye condition. In the progression of symptoms for RP, night blindness generally precedes tunnel vision by years or even decades. Many people with RP do not become legally blind until their 40s or 50s and retain some sight all their life. Others go completely blind from RP, in some cases as early as childhood. Progression of RP is different in each case.
RP is a group of inherited disorders in which abnormalities of the photoreceptors (rods and cones) or the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the retina lead to progressive visual loss. Affected individuals first experience defective dark adaptation or nyctalopia (night blindness), followed by constriction of the peripheral visual field and, eventually, loss of central vision late in the course of the disease.
