AM I TO BE A SPINELESS BASTARD?

 Now that I took a day to digest the diagnosis from my neurologist team, I will give you the Reader's Digest condensed version.


It's official. My spine CANNOT handle a thirteenth surgery.


Even if it were possible there is nothing left to repair due to the advance Osteoporosis from post experimental radical radiation.


One of the surgeons actually told me to look into obtaining an "electric wheelchair", not a scooter, an actual wheelchair.


When I picked my jaw up off the floor I asked him why and what the frack was he talking about.


Apparently they would rather I limit LITERALLY EVERYTHING I do to a bare minimum. No lifting, walking, twisting, bending or holding in a serious amount of flatulence!


With the reccurance of the cauda equina so soon and the advancement of the Osteoporosis, my spine could collapse at any moment and when it does it will permanently damage the cauda equina.


There is no way to predict when this will happen, but it will.


WHEN IT DOES I WILL IMMEDIATELY BECOME A PARAPLEGIC.


Or so they say.


HERE'S MY DIAGNOSIS OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS .....


To quote Greg Holden's song "Lost Boy" 


"I WILL NOT BE COMMANDED. I WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED. I WILL NOT LET MY FUTURE GO ON WITHOUT THE HELP OF MY SOUL".


I know that I will be around for many years to come.


If not, well Campers, I have lived a series of unique lives. Most my "lives" were and are full of tragedy.


But, the love I share from my family, friends, neighbours, acquaintances, strangers and most of all my Precious Princesses Ruffles and Pringles is pure and true.


True love heals.


YOU ALL ARE HEALING ME!


I am NOT going to live like some fragile old man.


Living is a state of the mind.


I am going to live.


Simple as that!

Court still prohibits marijuana possession

Court still prohibits marijuana possession Shannon Kari, National Post Published: Thursday, December 11, 2008 The prohibition against simple possession of marijuana has been upheld by an Ontario Superior Court judge, in a closely watched case that stemmed from the prosecution of Clifford Long, who was arrested by Toronto police with $40 worth of cannabis. Justice Eva Frank overturned a decision by a lower court judge last year that found there was no valid restriction against possession of cannabis because of flaws with the country's medical marijuana regulations. The lower court decision led to confusion about prosecuting simple possession cases in Ontario, said the federal government in its arguments before Judge Frank earlier this year. The federal Crown argued that the present policies of Health Canada have resulted in enough marijuana for the nearly 2,000 people with medical certificates to possess the drug. Judge Frank agreed with the arguments made by federal government lawy...

LIVE IN THE NOW. FOR NOW

  “ Look up into the Universe and show your perception of your God that you are grateful and humbled for this gift of existence, of life it very self. “ Remember, we are merely mortal and our existence is an ever changing blueprint of the pathway we choose to walk at this moment of our lives. We will face many choices and we walk many pathways   as we wander through this road we call “ life “. “ We are genetically spiritually nomadic. “ Forever seeking the “ why “, “ where ” and “when”, often neglecting the “ here “, “ now ” and “ why not “ The past has left us. The future is yet to arrive. In reality, we live right now. Enjoy the  “now”. Think fondly about the past. Have positive hope for tomorrow. And ……….. “ LIVE ” in the now Before it fades I nto the past. (LDV 06/29/2025) “Positivity is Cancer’s nemesis.”

Hey America, Sorry To Say, But …….

  I have been told that 1 percent of the American people are running the asylum formerly known as “ The United States of America “. So, what are the other 99 percent doing? A few lame protests? You all remained silent even when both Trump and Musk openly admitted to rigging the electoral computers in Pennsylvania. You all allowed the fascist rapist to STEAL the Presidency from Harris.  You have stood by and allowed your newly appointed Dictator to commit crime after crime.  I remember a time when the American people actually stood up for their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS. Protests accomplish nothing and only fuel the nutjob’s ego. Now look at the mess you have created!!! Every member of Trump’s administration  is corrupt and and should be arrested and JAILED! He purposely has put incompetent people in charge of key positions across all government departments and programs to create multiple chaotic disarray and confusion. No Dictator in history has ever given up their power...
