WELCOME TO A CRIPPLE'S WORLD From here on out, this blog will carry regular contributions by the author (me), concerning how and where the disabled are inaccurately portrayed, or more often than not, simply ignored by the media. Please feel free to read my previous posts, as this is something of a "stream of consciousness" blog, and one entry very well may, and often does depend on what has already been said. Please be aware, I am un-PC, a bit of a smart ass, and as Rodney Dangerfield said in "Back to School" "I don't take shit from nobody" :-D If the things said here offend you, then so be it. I am a strong minded, strong willed man with an opinion. However, my opinion can and does change over time, as I mature and learn more about the world. So, if you are in the mood to argue, or see something you disagree with, bring it on. Just be forewarned that what I consider "offensive" is not what the rest of the world may find offensive, and vice versa. Okay? Okay. photo is "extreme sitter" Aaron Fotheringham, who can be seen on Youtube or his website, AaronFotheringham.com, where he performs many of his wheelchair skate ramp tricks

As many of you are aware (unless you joined during my absence), I spent several months recently in the hospital recovering from a nasty illness.

Sadly, the medical crew acted with blatant negligence (which of course they are fighting that accusation. So, in the long run, I am symptomatically worse in my condition, and have lost what little faith in the traditional medical community, so I will be transfering to a less aggressive form of palliative care which will focus on *MY* comfort levels, not the doctor's statistical normative numbers on a chart.

NOTE: THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM EMMINENTLY DYING. This simply means that an evaluation of my health raises the possibility of "premature death", and Hospices intention is to make that death comfortable when it does arrive.

For the time being though, I will cease and desist any further blogging, but many of you have my personal email if you wish to contact me directly.  (Okay, Okay stop begging! it's PlaceboFanatic@aol LOL)

Please take care of all you folks, and each other for me

I will be thinking of you and sending my love to most of you (LOL)

and PSM OUT
