We can show you what to do,have tools , can gowhen you can go, will bring sandwiches …..looks like heart is struggling. I’ll be getting the watchmen installed in my heart in a few months. Hope all goes well. Clots in legs. Blood thinners. Yuck. Still riding my bike….Sorry just paid for two crowns.

Donations

I have never been good about asking for money but with failing health I now accept donations here on this site. Thanks you for ant help you can give. Need to continue with heart treatment which may include surgery, arthritis in shoulders may require surgery, Prostate cancer which is a slow motion problem that is creeping up on me. More treatments there. Shoulder issues keeping me out of the surf. Can’t get up. Trying to keep stress levels down which means limited working. Still riding my bike for now. Hope all is well with you who may read this.

it was

It was a 6 foot one in. fluid vision .my favorite surfboard .until my cousin broke the nose off it a long time ago. I think he wound up killing himself years later.. A long time ago… I Knew the truth one day would show up.

The truth is

9 years ago I was told I had A-flutter. A heart issue. Two Ablasions later I still have a heart issue. Cannot fix it. So living is ok . No blood thinners for me. Over 4 years ago they said I may have prostate cancer and that in 5 years I might be dead and broke cause of treatment cost. Still have some money and not dead. Now my arthritis in my shoulders has knocked my out of the water. No more surfing. Can’t get up fast enough. Getting old is tough. I continue to eat best I can and exercise all the time and keeping my stress level down. Doing ok. Riding my E mt. bike all the time. I Think I have one more powerline race in these old bones.

Zitaman wakes up again and wonders why. He thinks of others that did not wake up last night. He wonders why. Were they lucky or unlucky. Zitaman thinks as begins his study of depression with micro seconds of despair. Is this a question that can’t be answered? The day begins.
