Hi everybody. Welcome to my blog where I talk about my present.
So check this out. I had a senator, Senator Rob Rolison (https://www.nysenate.gov/senators/rob-rolison), and the mayor of Cold Spring at my house (https://www.forgeaheadwithfoley.com). It was very cool. Not many people can say they had a senator and a mayor at their house.
I really am pushing for five things and these guys could possibly help.
Better pay for home healthcare aides.
Better transportation for people like me (in the wheelchair). I get descent transport from the county, but it’s all volunteer workers so it’s erratic.
I’m trying to get the sidewalks in good shape. They’re full of potholes and frost heaves. It’s like trying to navigate Tora Bora.
I’m trying to get reduced cost housing for home healthcare aides, first responders, firemen, etc.
And the last thing is we gotta get mental health a mandatory thing for people like me. I mean, I had a brain injury. Of course I should get mental health. It should be mandatory whether you think you need it or not. Maybe that could go along with the Traumatic Brain Injury waiver I’m on. It’s part of Medicaid. Maybe they can make it mandatory. Then I can stop talking to my dog, and he can stop talking back to me.
Man, it’s been brutal trying to walk. I’ve been at it for a long time, maybe 13 years or so. Some days are good, some not so good. I just want to reiterate, if you’re in my position you just gotta stay with it and work through it. It’s painful sometimes, but you just gotta stay with it and push through it.
I just want to share one other thing with you, and this came to me after talking with my cousin. It really pays to stay in shape. Man, I’ll tell you, if I wasn’t in shape, there’s no way I would have made it through all this. So, I guess I’m promoting healthy living. Loving yourself enough to take care of your body, inside and out. If you take care of your body, your body is gonna take care of you.
OK, that’s all the profound statements I have for this week. I’m gonna go back to talking to my dog. Don’t forget to check out my blog from the past. I think next week I’ll do a blog about the past, a blog about being naked in a pool, high class hookers from Dallas, and a drug lord. In Mexico, of course.
Talk to you guys next week. Love and miss you guys. Love, B. Nice
