As the title says, "I rode the short bus" is so very indeed true. I rode it with my older brother,Timmy. We never attended any special education classes. There was nothing wrong with our minds. We both shared an extremely rare unknown form of Muscular Dystrophy. It was so rare, that doctors worldwide never seen anything like it. It never even had a name. I call it my curse and it has been with me since birth.
I was born in Lexington, Kentucky on September 9th, 1975. After I was born, unlike my brother, I showed no signs of having Muscular Dystrophy. My parents did not think I had the disease three months later they had me tested.( It was hospital procedure to wait three months before testing.) I tested positive for Muscular Dystrophy, so this blog is my life, both the past and the present.
Presently, I am 34 and I have lived almost 13 years at Rockcastle Regional in Mount Vernon, Kentucky. Due to health issues I require a ventilator to sustain life and Rockcastle Regional has a full term respiratory care facility. There are only two full term respiratory care facilities in the United States and both are located in Kentucky. Rockcastle Regional was the the first to practice this concept.
Me around the age of 7, notice my Nikes.
Me at present day. The glasses are not sunglasses. I have very sensitive eyes, so my lenses are tinted for comfort. The hat is kinda my signature look. I believe you got a fair introduction of me. I will post again real soon with more for you to follow. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them on my blog. Thank you for reading and God bless you all.
