Neck OK, Back Sucks...Mom in hospital

I started bragging too F*#$ing soon. Neck and arm are still great. Back sucks. Been laying on the floor for 2 days. Back weak from favoring left side because of F*#&ing Neck. Someone please shoot me. Add in Mom's in in the hospital with Pneumonia. Thanks to Sherry for taking care of that. Talked to her this morning and she is worried about me. That's Mom! Just can't wait to see what F*#%s up next.

Let’s venture into Red’s World

Hey folks guess who has been pain free…Hi my name is Red and I have been a painaholic, it has been about 2 days since I have been somewhat free of pain…If I had known that a 20 dollar device would relieve my pain I would have got it 2 friggin months ago. Don’t get me wrong one wrong move and the pain is there, but it is not constant anymore…KNOCK ON WOOD…KNOCK ON WOOD…It is either the S&M traction device or someone found the asshole with the voodoo doll. What ever this is the first time that I have felt like Red in a long time. First I want to give a big shout out to Mom for surviving me being a total bitch. Next shout out goes to Loser, thanks for helping with Mom and taking care of my yard, my pool and shutting down the pool. Thanks also to Austin Zane he helped with shutting down the pool. He drew the short straw and had to get in that cold ass water to get the steps out. Who knows what his piercing did in that cold water? Thanks to Sheri for helping with Mom also.

Let’s venture deeper into Red’s World

Any one that knows me knows that I am a TV freak. Yes and that includes reality TV. But want I want to talk about now is one of my new favorite shows. Brothers & Sisters has me hook, line and sinker; so much that yes I have the first season on DVD. I don’t know what it is about that show, yeah I do it is how they all want to beat the shit out of each other then the next minute they are the best of friends. Throw in Sally Field, Calista Flockhart and then my all time favorite Sodapop Curtis, I mean Rob Lowe. Along with the eye candy of Rob, there is Dave Annable, OMG!!! Don’t know what it is but DAMN!! He is the baby of the family, well not really but you have to watch to find out what I am talking about. He is the peacemaker and reformed doper. You know a well-rounded loser, but he is HAWT! I just love the whole show, it is one of those dysfunctional families that work, yeah it is TV but I truly believe that out there somewhere there are families like that. Hey it is Red’s World so I can say whatever I want. Catch Bro’s & Sis’s on Sunday on ABC, or full episodes on the net, or if I like you I may let you borrow my set.


Peace Out.

Medical update...still in pain and still psycho

Went to the specialist on Friday, Dr. Heffner and no his first name is not Hugh. Said no surgery yet. Going to try at home traction device to stretch my neck like a giraffe, plus 3 days a week of physical therapy. Also sending me to have carpal tunnel test on my wrists and I have to sleep with a splint on my left wrist, but other than that I am fine.

I made the mistake of telling the doc that I haven’t had any trouble with my lower back since he had done my surgery in 2000. Guess what the day after I said that, was picking up the laundry basket with my good arm and snap, my back said dip shit you aren’t suppose to stand and pick up things like that. Went and laid on the floor for a few hours. Turned 40 and body is turning to shit. Didn’t throw my back out, muscles just pulled wrong.
Pain was the name of the game on Saturday, if it wasn’t my lower back then it was my neck. I do have to say the neck stretcher is alleviating the neck pain, so we are moving in the right direction. I have 6 weeks of physical therapy and neck stretching so hopefully this will keep me from having to have my neck cut on. Keep your fingers crossed and to the person who has the damn voodoo doll of me, give me a break for the rest of the year. Pretty Please with sugar on top.

Quick Story of Bird

Jada Bird is Candice’s cousin and Candice is Kim’s best friend. They are all my neighbors. (Jada is my only normal neighbor! HA HA) They live in the house that I grew up in with Mom and Dad. Jada’s parents were 14 when she was born and thank God she ended up with Candice. Jada has cerebral palsy. She has had a rough road. There has been a few times when she has had seizures and stopped breathing, but thanks to the Big Guy and some close friends Jada pulled through. Kim and Candice have been through so much because of Jada’s family. They see dollar signs when they look at Jada, but again thanks to Kim and Candice they have fought and now are legal guardians of Jada and any money is to go to Jada. They have worked with therapist left and right to get Jada where she is today. She is a miracle blessing from God. When you look at the tractor video all of that is because of Kim, Candice and the Big Guy upstairs. That is the story of Jada in a nutshell. Bottom line she is my best little buddy, with the brightest smile and eyes to make all my pain go away and make me forget about all the bullshit that is circling around me. Thank God for kids!!!!!

Teresa = Super Blogger ... Red = Slacker

So I am not totally considered a slacker, figured I should put something out here since it has been a few days since my last post, and plus we have Teresa, Super Blogger out there out doing us all.

Trust me if I started ranting (AKA Bitching) I would go on forever, because there are many things on my list that I would love to go off on, but due to the pain in my neck it keeps me from doing anything that takes time. Plus once I get going I get stressed and all tensed up and that just adds to the pain. One more day then I see the doc and hopefully he will get me lined out. Waiting a month and a half to see this doctor hasn’t been fun that is for sure. But the one thing that has helped me forget about all the bull and pain going on in my life is my best little buddy Jada Bird. I don’t care how much pain or BS I have to deal with all it takes is her bright smile and those beautiful eyes and all is good in Red’s world.

This little girl has been through so much and she is just four. She is a blessing from the Big Guy upstairs. She amazes me everyday. She is such a smart kid. Kim and Candice have done wonders with her. No limitations, yeah there are but they work around them. Talk about putting a smile on my face was when I looked out my window to see Kim and Bird coming over and there is Bird driving her Little John Deere Tractor. Cerebral palsy is not going to stop this little girl.

Tune in later for video of Bird driving her tractor same bat time and same bat channel.
