It's been a long while since I had
anything good to say. The start of 2014 had me thinking I was sick
with the Flu and it turned out to be Atrial Fib with RVR that led to
Congestive Heart Failure. Not what you want to hear when you are
uninsured and have no means of income at the moment. 27 days in
cardiac unit and progressive care unit left me feeling
institutionalized. Needless to say I'm applying for charity through
the hospital for bills there and the cardiologist. No our healthcare
system isn't broken at all right? It's pathetic.
Now I am dealing with medications that
make me loopy, dizzy, and light headed. Blood thinners require a
regular weekly visit to the clinic for blood work until we have it
regulated. I've had to put life on hold for the past few months and
that means everything including music and art. The positivity isn't
all gone though, things could be much worse.
It's a slow and tedious battle to get
back to normal these days but I've not lost the will to want to get
better. A healthy lifestyle means no booze and no cigarettes any
longer. I've adjusted to eating right and caring for myself like I
should have been all along. When you live hard it tends to begin to
show the older we get. It is not going to get any easier if we want
to stick around this place for long.
STEGO is holding back the release of
the new record 'Void Clear Light,” I feel we shouldn't release
until we're ready to be playing out live. Our new bassist Greg
Williams is working out really well and we are rising from the ashes
as a whole new unit.
I'm still available to build cabinets
and do artwork and I am taking special orders for cabs. I'm not
storing inventory due to lack of space in the work shop.
In retrospective I have no regrets and
it's looking up now, so it's time to swing for the fences again.
