Where I'm at (personally)

Being new to this blog, I feel like I am getting to know those who comment here better so I figure I should tell you more about me. Often I reply multiple times to a post. More so than most people. there is a reason for that. I initially read the post itself without reading an replies. I do so to give a raw initial opinion in my reply. Then I read the post with the replies and if I have any changes of opinion, I reply again. I do it this way for 2 reasons. The main one is to show you who reply how you have influenced me. I read every reply and give it honest thought. Those of you who care enough to be on a blog like this are generally the best of us all and your opinions matter. I sincerely want those who read and reply to my posts and my replies to know that your thoughts and opinions matter. The other reason is that I am recovering from a very severe brain injury in early 2006. It left me partially paralyzed and with major memory problems and totally unable to work. I still sometimes forget parts of what I am trying to say and remember them later as well as names and spelling. If you see I have misspelled a word,you now know why. The rehab process from that has been the hardest thing I have ever endured and has given me a new outlook on life but not politics. I could be collecting disability and living for free off the government. Instead I am physically rehabbing by doing landscaping work. With the help of family and friends I am very slowly starting my own business (again). Doing this is a very gradual process as I can only physically work but 3 or 4 hours a day and I have to take days off to rest often. My brain doesn't regulate my body temperature properly and if I overheat even slightly my whole body swells like a balloon. I also have almost no feeling in my right hand and leg, however I can use both fairly well. I have to do things slowly and be very careful but as the nerves in my brain grow new pathways, this problem is gradually improving. The only government help I take is free hospital care in the event of seizures which I get rarely as a result of brain trauma. I could have all my medical care free, but I couldn't live with myself and do this blog by living that way. I have to take alot of meds to function and they are costly but fortunately, I have family both at home and through my Church that are supporting me in every way as I continue. My point here is, if I (with God's help) can do this using minimum government help, so can the vast majority of others. I don't know if my landscaping business will be successful or not, but it won't be because I gave up. I am even able to donate some of my work to those in the Church I attend who are less fortunate than myself. I never imagined 2 years ago that I could have been at this point now. All I ask of you is to pray to whomever you pray to for my continued success and keep up the good fight to save our country. I would never be able to accomplish this without the freedoms we enjoy, the best medical care system in the world and the right to worship God how we please. I don't want anybody here to feel sorry for me as I believe I am on a path to success, not failure. Fighting my physical battles have made me realize that I should be fighting in the battle with KOOK and the rest of you against the theft of our freedom. I also want to say thanks to all the bloggers for the warm welcome I have received here. Andrew33
