Friends

Today I hung out with my mate at his new appartment building. Looks more like a 3 story town house but trust me it's not. Not bad for 600k while his new penthouse is being built for 2.5mil!

How our lives are so different but we are both rich, just in different ways. 

Been quite an eye opener and makes me miss working. I surely could find a supercars for a good price and sell it for a good profit. 

So tomorrow I look at life again and maybe take s different direction. 

Surgery again.

Back to OSU for another surgery, but before that I have to get a covid 19 test and then quarantine until surgery which is the 16th of October. This is the hernia repair from my transplant. Couldn't have come at a worst time as I cant lift anything for 6 weeks. 

So one good but of news is our attorney says we have a good case, also the CDC form will be coming out and being delivered personally to the church. The covid 19 numbers are rising again and I do not want to catch it. It would kill me. Going to look at properties is t safe either. Well just pray that all goes well for me.

And here's Milo posing for her photo. She is my security blanket when feeling crappy.

Peace to you all.

I have a favor. Please write a comment of where you found my blog and who you are because I have no idea who reads it. 

Thanks.

Fall has arrived

So September brought a few unexpected things. Getting ready for a hernia repair that was caused by where my chest was cracked open. I cant exercise because it is very painful. The surgeon that 8s doing the repair is my heart transplant surgeons wife!

Then I have been told I need a brain shunt because I have a lot of fluid build up around my brain but I have decided to hold off on that one. Then I find out that my landlord wants to kick us out. So we have three decisions.  Stay in circleville and rent again, buy a house in Circleville or move out of state and the later I feel is the better option. I need a fresh start for my family. The are so many cobwebs here and people that I thought I trusted and now I have seen the truth. 

I have been granted 8 extra years with an lvad and a new heart and some people that i really trusted and be friended really dont and didnt get. I am done with other people that wont be honest with me and make me feel like a user. 

The sad thing is that I have been so miserable from my brain pressure issue that it changed my life. My memory became foggy, I lived in a world of either reality or not real. And if these people who i cared about didn't see that and saw my destruction, then shame on them. 

I dont have much time left so I am going to use what time I do have to explore life. 

I am fed up with worry about other people's issues as I have my own and my family needs me. I still have time to be that person I wanted to be to stand up and inspire. So although there are people that let me down, they actually made me realise that I am a good man. 

So I wont say pray for me for a while because the church right now has let me down and I have to find peace with all that's happened. 

Be safe my friends and please continue to share my website 

Three years on and I still think of my old buddy. RIP Keith. 

My landlord decided to kick us out.

I am financially broke and need prayers and help.

August ends

So I am cancer free for 3 years now. Had a scare a while back but all clear.

My heart is perfect is absolutely perfect.

Kidneys are stable.

Back into the gym tomorrow and start training again.

Now this weeks appointment is to see whether I need to get a shunt in the brain. 

It was recognized that for many years now the pressure has bee  building. Along with lack of oxygen, a stroke and seizures I shouldn't really be here. I made irrational decisions with terrible consequences,  loss of memory to the point where I didn't know what's real and not real. Vertigo issues and anger.

I had a lumbar puncture but before the procedure I took a test and failed, done a similar test after and passed. Shows that the pressure is building. One doctor told me he suggests do the surgery as it may take me to a point where I cant walk. There are many factors that are making this tough. It's been tough after the transplant.  For the last 8 years it's been so terrifyingly scary and now this. 

Theres only so much a person can  take. Is this the end or is this another part where I have to fight again. 

I am doing as much as I can in life to a point just in case this is it. I never know anymore.

So until my next appointment on the 2nd September,  be safe,  be careful and be lucky.

Ok so if you dont already know, in my younger years I was a dj. I still have the passion but would rather do it privately than publically although one of my .icing buddies in the eighties was John Digweed, now worth $45M, yeah thanks mate.
So copy and paste this link and tell me what you think. I cant post it as a video because of all the copyright text I'd have to write.
So here's where I store it. Enjoy. It's not perfect but I'm happy! #djmix #remix #tiktok

August already!

What the heck happened to the summer. Covid 19 certainly took its toll on everyone. I got quarantined over and over again. Put on weight, got sick, lost weight, gained it. Got better and then sick again. 

Right now I have vertigo, waiting to meet with a hernia specialist which was caused by my amount of chest cracks and to top that, get ready!

Over the past years I have been suffering with brain issues. Irrational decision's, regrettable actions, anger and major memory loss. This loss has suddenly got worse and after a neurological test which I failed I had a lumbar puncture. After 30cc of spine fluid were drained I suddenly passed the test with absolutely no problem.  Turns out I have pressure on my brain. So now a shunt is in order. If I dont have this I can quickly deteriorate and even to the point where I won't be able to walk. 

This has taken me by suprise and is scaring me like crazy. 

I openly tell you all I thought about an alternative and it was a very low point. 

I lost my dad at 19 and Joshua right now is nearly 15 and I cant do that to him. But if this shunt goes wrong then it will be a disaster. 

Biopsy on the 18th of August. 

So that's where I've been.

YNOTT collaborates with Heartofmark.com

Tyler is 1 month out of his liver transplant. Cant wait to see him in a few months.

Had an awesome online meeting with some amazing leaders all around the country. 

Talked about collaborating with YNOTT foundation which is really exciting because with all the bad things that happened in the last few years, it's a breath of fresh air to think about my future with Healing Hearts of Central Ohio which is going to be great attending meetings and recruiting to members. Knowing everything I went through although saved my life my whole presence on this Earth changed. I became a different man, not for the good either. Medications made me sick, angry, depressed. 6 years with oxygen deprived times finally affected my brain. Sometimes the will to live caught up with me and was very real. A new heart solved one issue but then you trade one problem for another.

I know that we are all different and I know by discussions, only probably 1 or 2 doctors knew of my behavior change.

That's behind me now and I am working on some amazing things. 

So that's like the 4th Monday now behind my front door and although I cant wait to get back to it, I wont venture out until I am 100% safe.
