About Me

I am approaching 58 years old. I have been physically disabled since December 2004. Unfortunately, my disability limits me to little movement outside the home, which means a lot of TV and computer activities. I am unable to walk long distances, have to sit and rest after approximately 200 feet, cannot stand more than a few minutes and can't really exercise. As a result, my weight has ballooned to approximately 350 pounds. My normal weight was 195-200. Having to deal with this particular part of my life has, and still is, extremely difficult. Many times I do not want to get out in public because I may run into people I know. I often shop at Wal-Mart  in the very early hours of the morning when there are the fewest people in the store. It really has been difficult. I became a grandfather 2 years ago and am worried about not being able to play with him like my grandfather did with me. It's very frustrating.
