HAPPY (?) NEW YEAR.
i had the best Thanksgiving EVER last year.
my oldest son was riding with a drunk driver,on a wet slick road near Crescent City, when the SUV decided to become airborne scrap metal...my son almost died.the driver broke a few ribs.
a nurse i talked to said his brain looked like Shaken Baby Syndrome (sic).
it took awhile but my son got out of ICU on Thanksgiving, with a steel plate in his broken neck,it will probably take almost two years of physical therapy to re-learn how to use his right arm (sure cuts down on his video game playing).
just an objection lesson that any one-at any time-can join the Crip Community.i am not sure if this is still true but the leading cause of disability among men used to be accidents and among women-MEN (domestic or dating violence).
think about that.
in other news,
i am not yet ready to design statues for St.Obama on horseback yet,lets wait until he actually moves into 1600 and gets his hands dirty first.
the Other Bush made a sustained effort to dismantle the ADA as did all the judges he appointed to the Supreme Court,despite his Daddy's efforts to set it up (Oedipus much?).
let's hope the future is better,although the locals here have already cut deeply into my SSDI increase (sigh) i forgot just when i took a VOW OF POVERTY becoming disabled.
must've been in the Fine Print i signed when mis-medicated,right?
RIDDLE ME THIS? when did we,as a society, decide that yacht tax exemptions were more important than education and human lives???
did i miss that memo?
much love
mega
