A little more about me.
Well this is my first ever blog so yesterday was my first ever posting. I planed on getting a lot more done last night but as I said in my profile I am four years older then dirt, and as us old people are known to do, I dozed off. If my granddaughters only new how close they are to spoon feeding me my Oatmeal and having to wipe the drool from my chin they would be running for the hills. I don't have a picture to post with my profile but you can take my word for it, I am great looking. I have posted a picture of my best friend so you can see how handsome he is, and I put him to shame. Now I'm going to tell you something
about myself that you probably can't tell from my writing because I hide it so well. I am a nec zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Just kidding! I'm awake, now where was I? Ah yes, I was about to tell you that I am a neck breather, a 12 year survivor of throat cancer.
For those who do not know what a neck breather is, let me explain. A neck breather is someone who gets his air via a tube that runs from the wind pipe [trachea] just below the larynx to the outside of the neck. I call this tube the trach for short. Now what this means is I can stand on my head, in water, forever, as long as the water is not over my neck. Why anyone would want to do that I have know idea, but I could do that if I wanted to. One of the many drawbacks to being a neck breather is that in order to talk, I need a free hand so I can cover the trach tube with my finger. This forces the air in my lungs up through the larynx and lets me use what is left of my voice box to speak. There are some cold people out there who try to talk to me when I have both hands full, at this point I have to put down whatever is tying up my hands so I can use my finger, and I don't use it to cover the trach tube I can tell you that! I will let you draw your own conclusion as to what I use it for. I even have friends and relatives that are so cold as to tell me if I don't shut up they will tie my hands behind my back,is it any wonder I am in therapy. Well I can't see it but I know there is a nap about to sneak up on me, I can almost feel it hiding behind my chair just waiting to pounce. So this is me saying good by to you till tomorrow or until I wake up, whatever comes first
