A Southside Update

[Roark.W]

When my dad was still alive he used to say, "Getting older isn't for sissies." Boy, was he more than just right on that one.

In a couple of weeks, I'm turning 55. My brain surgeons said when I was 8 years old in 1976, that I would not live to be 30. Wow! 55 seems like a lot older than 30.

I have officially been out of the hospital for 6 months now, thank goodness. Things are going well.

I have officially stopped driving as I was having trouble swerving on the road and didn't want to injure myself or someone else. Been dealing with a lot of new health issues. My new kidney got infected really good and I have been treated for that. I'm having to use a cane to walk around these days for support with my legs getting worse.

I stay pretty busy helping my 80 year old mother with cooking and cleaning of her home. Taking care of family is part of the deal, you know.

Anyway, I certainly hope you are all doing well. I miss this place like crazy, but can't play FPS games anymore with my hands shaking like crazy.

Y'all take it easy.

Peace. Onward.

Hey old man! Glad to see you're still kicking. Was just thinking about you the other week.

but can't play FPS games anymore with my hands shaking like crazy

If anything the shaky hands will help you land those Call of Duty trick shots, silver linings!

Nice to hear you’re okay Southside. Keep that healthy streak going and stay out of the hospital!
