Been a while
 
I came across this link cleaning my bookmarks, and thought.....man its been a while!!

I will read up on everyone, and start with a little update on how its going with me. :)

I got RSD from a botched angiogram where they accidentally blocked the femoral artery at the cath site. 7 days later was back for surgery to remove the blockage, and never been the same since in the right leg.

Fast forward to 2015, and they find that the artery is 95% blocked at the same place again due to scar tissue and debris from it ballooning up and shrinking back. so they had to do surgery there again!! They did an endarterectomy, and restored the blood flow, and made the RSD really come alive!! Been even more jacked up since.

But as some of you know, and some that havent known me. I am a fighter. I try to be as normal as possible.....which aint much, but it makes me feel that I have some value at least.

So I saw a Bigfoot in 1987, and around 2010 I met some others that went up looking for the Bigfoot regularly. I joined with them, and a few times a year we get out and camp at these Bigfoot spots. The running joke....no pun intended lol. Is that all you have to do is outrun me....which is easy cause I cannot run, and can barely walk LOL!!!

We started going out to UFO, ghost, and anything paranormal calls, and taking reports. We came up with the idea of doing videos and posting them on youtube. Just passed a million views, and started a tv local show!

I have a rough time keeping up with everyone, and am not sure how long I can continue the minuscule amount that I do. But will try to keep pushing through the pain as long as I can because it is soooo fun!!

Oh I forgot about another new thing for me. 4 heart stents. Yeah had some blockage on the heart, and they said 2 stents when they put me in there. But came out with 4 and lots more meds. ugh.......

I hope this finds everyone in no, or at least a little pain. Promise I will drop in more. Kinda feel bad that Facebook took me away lol.

Hello allentgamer: We haven't met before. I'm still a fairly new member here on NT. (I'm a more active member on NT's sister website: PsychCentral.) Anyway, I just thought I would leave a reply saying welcome back to NeuroTalk! :welcome_sign: :Grin-Nod:

I think it's so great that you are able to do as much as possible and still do some things you enjoy. It's been a rough couple of years for me here after I fell off a ladder in 2015 and that caused my RSD to get much worse. Such is life...but I still try to find those little things that I CAN do to feel like I am able to give back in some way to others. Sorry to hear that things got worse for you too. Hugs.
