If mentally disabled counts, I am on the bandwagon!

it's a good disability

all activities are therapy

PD wants no part of caring for a legally mentally disabled non-violent person and the law suits that follow. Even the thought of a formal protest letter in the officer's file will rock his world forever.

some airlines in past gave 1/2 fare to the nut guy and his handler

My back was killing me by the 3rd game......Acton versus Santa Paula. This kid scored 3 TDs and generally was the BDOC. Dad's the coach, Momz was a hotty.....




My twin daughters were playing on the same campus for their freshman Volleyball team. They placed 3rd in the Tournament. I was running between MY games and theirs.....saw about 5 minutes of theirs but have tape.....

Yesterday I had grand plans, a buddy was picking me up for a hour of BMX lake jumping, then get spiffied up for a CF fundraiser , but instead, I had to go to a walk in clinic as I couldn't walk, my left ankle is in lots of pain, and couldn't hold me up...

I thought that I must have broken it, but no idea how unless I was sleep walking.... After X-rays and some deduction from the Dr. turned out to be a Staph Infection.....

So a few days on crutches and even more meds again
Do these things ever go away after you get one???

Well, funz over....back to work on Monday.




I did Beverly Hills vs Santa Barbara yesterday, two games today, JV and a Varsity, got two youth games tomorrow. Back feels...ehhh, OK. I'm still uglee.

Stoopid payroll "forgot" to tell me that I needed to fill out the SDI forms and they cut me a check for 1/2 pay. My boss had told me that I had plenty of sick and vacation.....22 years and they don't call to see if yer dead or not.

So now I have to hustle the paperwork thru with the State....like that will happen when Monkeys fly out my Buttt. I'm screwed.....for at least a week.....

This has been a fun week.....

After 27 years, excessive high blood pressure, failure of my annual fitness medical, failure of SCBA certification and a gun shot which grazed my kidney, liver and spine, I have submitted my medical retirement request to the County. Until it gets approved by County Counsel I will be on 1/2 pay. The doc has certified that my football ref activities are covered under physical therapy....

I have a mortgage, three kids and bills. My disability is limited to sitting for periods of 30 minutes or more. The high blood pressure is a bit of a problem as I can't tolerate the standard medications....but I'm working on that.

Please feel free to ask any questions.....

Oh yeah, looks like I'm also getting a divorce.....
