- In this past summer school session, I collapsed from pneumonia in front of my students in my classroom while teaching and spent a week in the hospital recovering. I began this work week with a respiratory infection that got worse by Wednesday...
- I haven't seen my parents for 7 years now. If I had I probably wouldn't be alive any more. I had kidney disease when I last saw them and my 80 year old dad still punched me in the face just like when I was a boy. Still, as I watch TV coverage...
- Today is my 2nd Tuesday since classes began at my college. The 1st Tuesday last week was a disaster, as a student in my 2nd class of the morning exploded at me in hostility when called on during a Spanish verb drill. I created some written work...
- I've been divorced twice, sad to say. I got through both without abuse or infidelity on my part by living up to the lessons I learned from a dysfunctional, violent family of origin, though. So neither of my own wedding anniversaries triggers my...
- Yesterday my primary doctor referred me to an orthopedic surgeon and I went to him yesterday. He was really nice; his wife's from Colombia so he cared about my Spanish language background, that I teach Spanish at my college, and where I grew up...
- FF--FEELING FRAGILEPlease, something happened at work, and as I share this I'd like to ask that I not be given advice about documenting it, telling the authorities at work, or any further task at this time. I held myself together long enough to do...
- It's the first day of school. I've done this since 1980. Only 5 more semester starts to go after this one before I get to retire to Mexico... Whee...
- Yesterday I went to the doctor about the ankle sprain I've now had for a month, a sprain that doesn't seem to be healing. He had my ankle x-rayed, and we'll be seeing what's next.He also wrote me a prescription for a blood pressure medication. ...
- I made it back the the USA successfully from Mexico on my bum ankle, y'all. I just wanted to thank you all for the support through those 2 weeks of being cooped up in a hotel room on a Mexican vacation with my PTSD getting triggered by that kid on...
- Hey, all, I'm just hours away from getting back on a plane to the USA. It was a frustrating visit here to Mexico. It would have been easier on me if I'd just broken my stupid ankle. Bones heal faster than soft tissue. So I never could get...
- Last night near midnight I got the daylights scared out of me. I was watching a late night movie in bed lying on top of the covers in my scivies with my leg in its cast propped up on a pillow. All of a sudden I hear a commotion outside my hotel...
- My leg's pain triggered me, so I fought PTSD flashbacks all night until 6am. Then this morning at 9am I stepped out of my hotel room on my crutches and tripped over them and fell head first to the floor in front of the desk clerk and all of the...
- The ankle sprain got worse but good news is I had a pharmacy deliver crutches to my hotel for USD$20. So if you break a leg or something, I recommend financially that you do it here in Mexico. HA!More later. Be well, y'all.
- Though I was just released from the hospital for pneumonia June 24th, I'm pleased to announce I'll still be flying out to Mexico in the morning. I twisted my ankle today to complicate matters a bit, but I got a brace on it that really works. ...
- I was surprised that being a trauma survivor would come up at the dentist's office, but today it did. I had the roots of one of my front teeth die. It got brittle and broke off, so I had a nice dental implant done. I say nice with zero...
