One Year Later!

It has been one year today since I had my stroke. What a year too! Everything has changed, and not only myself. Walter has changed, my parents have changed, and my brothers have changed. The biggest change, other than me, is Walter. He says he is not a caregiver, but he is wrong.

Shout Out to DPS

I have to give a shout out to Texas Department of Public Safety, they treat disabled people with respect and give them tickets that put you first.

Disability or Bust!

I had no income and I needed some, so I decided to apply for disability income from the Social Security Administration. I heard a lot of bad stories about how applications weren’t approved the first time around and that people almost always had to appeal denials. Armed with my discharge papers from all three hospitals, I was ready for a fight.

Wake up Walter!

It was hard getting use to sleeping in my own bed. Our bedroom is now downstairs off the back porch.
