What perfect timing!

My birthday is the 28th and we have that whole week off!! YAY! Besides that, I get to setup a graduation party for my friend Danielle on the 31st, making it one heck of a birthday/graduation party! I will countinue to use this blog site after this class is finished, so if anyone wants to keep reading these, I'll be here. I really think all of you guys did a great job on your papers! I wish all of you the best of luck on all of the rest of the courses you guys may have!!

I got great news the other day!!

After years of playing life safe; not being able to stand up for myself, couldn't play contact sports ever, couldn't go swimming and so on. This all happened because of being born with congenital (born with) cholesteatoma (abnormal growth on the eardrum). I lost my left eardrum and part of my mastoid bone (bone right behind the ear that helps protect the brain), besides it entered skull and into the meninges (sac that lines the brain) causing me to leak fluid from the brain into the ear. This disease attacked both ears along with Otitis Media (inflammation of the inner ear) jumping in on the fun every now and then. This still affects me now and then, but now that my old doctors have retired and times have changed I have moved onto another doctor. This doctor (Dr. McDonald) gave me the best news ever!! He told me all of the things I was told not to do as a child was old school stuff, and that I could have done and can do now. So now I am going to live my life to the fullest and maybe become a NFL or NBA player, join the UFC fight club, go bungee jumping, sky dive, stand up for myself, scuba dive or whatever else I can dream of!!

I am having fun!!

I have made some new goals for myself this year and I am following through with them all. I have set out in life with a new attitude and out look that is for sure...I realized how much fun my life has been since my family and I sat down and talked about all of the good times in life. The time I got bit by a rattlesnake, my brother and I played with a tarantula, chased road runners with a plastic bat, watched my cousin sit on a porcupine and have to get the quills pulled out of her butt, try sliding down a plywood like it was a slide and much, much more...LOL what a life thus far!!!
