Personal Info.

Very seldom do I let out what I am going to put in this blog. Be patient with me.
In 1973 I was in a car wreck North of Rankin, Texas. I was pretty banged up but didn't know just how bad. They took a lot of x rays and said there were no broken bones so I was well pleased, until I couldn't even eat jello without it nearly taking the top of my head off. Come to find out I had a broken jaw.
While in the hospital my eye sight went out on me twice. I was completely blind for about a hour at a time. I was sent from Dr. to Dr. but no one new what to do for it. My eyes wouldn't move like other peoples eyes. I had to shut one eye to read and I still do.
I was finally sent to Houston where I was told I had Progessive External Ophtalmoplegia a $50.00 word that means my eyes won't move. They did a lot of test to make sure they were right and they were.

The Dr. told me that the wreck had trigared a dormant something or other in me. It is herediatery and they have no idea where it came from. It is very rare and no known cure. All the muscles in my body are weakning and I will probably choke to death or my heart will just stop.
They have operated on my eye lids twice and took about 3/4 of an inch out of them. My facial features are dropping a little more but I am staying active and don't plan on slowing down.


I was told that by the time I was 60 I would be in a wheel chair not really able to take care of myself. As I walked out of the DR. office I told him to keep that wheel chair for someone else as I had to much living to do and didn't have the time to be sick.
I will soon be 68 and haven't slowed down yet. When God gets ready for me to have that wheel chair he will let me know.

I don't think about it much because I stay busy at all sorts of things. I like to help other people when they are in need but keep my name out of it.

I could say why me but I have taken the time to look around and there are so many that are far worse off. I count my blessings every day for what God has done for me.

When you are feeling sorry for yourself my advice is to take a good look at the people around you and see how much worse off they are and how blessed you are.

Take care and my God bless The U. S A. and all of our military men and women.
