I am finally back to update my blog. I have been dealing with some health issues over the past few weeks but everything is back to normal. It just takes a little time to ride out the bumps in the road.
Today was a good day with a couple positive things that happened. First off I had a article published in the IVUN Fall 2004 newsletter. It came in the mail today and it turned out awesome. I love to take every opportunity I can to share with people the many barriers that ventilator users face. If the article is posted on the net, I will put the link on my blog.
Tonight I watched the Brooke Ellison Story on A & E. Brooke suffered a spinal cord injury as a young girl and she also uses a vent to breathe. The movie deals with her life after her accident and her attaining a degree with honors from Harvard. It is so great to see disability covered in a positive light. This show really inspired me to strive for the best in my life. You go Brooke!!!
Tomorrow is game 3 of the World Series. Can the Red Sox go up 3-0 and be one step closer to making history? We shall see.

no posts
There have been no posts lately cuz I have been under the weather with kidney stones. Tomorrow I travel to Fargo for a lithotripsy to hopefully remedy the situation. I will get back to posting later this week so stay tuned.

Feedback/New Project
I have gotten so much positive response from last weeks articles in the paper on me. The support people have shown me has been awesome. It gives me the energy to fight for a brighter day, when ALL people will disabilities are treated as equals in our society.
On Tuesday I started something that I think will be good for me. There is a transition prgram in town thats helps kids with disabilities get ready for life after high school. One of the students from this program will visit with me twice a week for awhile. I am able to share my experiences and answer questions about my life. He is a pretty cool guy that likes computers and the Vikings. So we will have no problems getting along. I am looking forward to some good visits.
I am off to eat lunch and then go out and enjoy a nice day.
