So now i'm on blood thinners for the next month or so. Then he will do another ultrasound in about a month, to see if the clot has dissipated. What I meant bout the infection not making any since to me, is because the reason he gave me for the infection, DID NOT, make any freakin since. I had some sort of "skin infection" in my blood. Meaning I cut myself or something, that triggered the infection. PLEASE! Just say you don't know how i got it, or what it's from. Well, let me see if I can tell you (which I did try to explain). I have this soft skin indention just above the ankle, one day it sort of puffed up,, and I burst it. The blood was thick and very dark. You know how when you cut yourself, and the blood flows out freely? Well this didn't do that, it was like a thick dark red pus that was clotted. I told him this, and he said he would check, after I am off the blood thinners. We shall see!

With this organization, I look forward to communicating and help other individuals and their families, that have gone, or are going through just about the same situation my family and I have gone through. I have learned to do so many things that I thought I'd never be able to do. One is to start a wheelchair basketball team here in the Warner Robins area. An that's just the beginning.
Through donations, time and effort, I'd like to help any and all that need or want to be helped and appreciated. It's just a huddle, not the end of the world. True me, I thought it was, until my eyes were open by some wonderful and passionate military and civilian men and women, disabled and able body alike.
So please join me and my family as we do out part to help our Community, Middle Georgia, and the surrounding areas.
Thank you

Happy New Year
Well, I started of the new year with a bang. Sunday 01 January 2012, around 7:30 pm, I had to be hospitalized for pain and swelling in my left leg. Ha, the only good leg I have left since my right one had to be amputated. Turns out, I had an infection (that did not make any since to me), fever was over 102, and a blood clot. Now, I knew I had a blood clot, hell, I even told the doctors about the pain and swelling months before. This had been going on for over the past three years. But all they kept saying was, "you'll be alright. That's to be expected, because the left leg is the dominated leg now". Famous last words, when they don't want to waste their time to find out what's really going on with you.

About Me

- Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, I graduated from Northwestern High School (per say, I had to go to summer school) Join the Maryland National Guard after high school in 1983. In '88, i switched to regular Army. All totaled, I have about 12-15 years, Army, National Guard, Air Guard, and Air Force. On 21 Jan 2005, a car hit me while riding my motorcycle home from work hit me. From 2005-2008, the doctors did what they could to save my leg. However, on 07 Oct 2008 my right leg was amputated, due to complications. My ultimate goal is to be physically fit and more active in sports. Maybe I will be able to attend and compete in the Paralympics one day. 17 years of military service, to include the U.S Army. I served in the Air Force for four of those 17 years. My hobbies are old cars, and dogs. My special interests are breeding Dogue de Bordeaux (French Mastiff), writing and producing music, and old cars. I will be getting my first puppy in mid December. I would also like to become a part of the Paralympics Weight lifting Team or Wheelchair Basketball Team.
