Well, it has been a month to the day that I have had my sinus surgery. At first everything seemed to be going fine. Then just after the first of the year I have had a lot of trouble. I did have the feeling that something was blocked in my nose. The doctor took care of that several times by cleaning the debris out of my nose. I feel great after that. But for the last week I have had to urinate every 10 to 15 minutes when I try to go to sleep and last night I felt I was suffocating even though I could feel the going in and out of both my nostrils. I have been getting very little sleep. The doctor has prescribed a sleep medicine for me. However, I have Lunesta and I don’t like the way this medicines make me feel like I am in a daze.
I went to the Urologist and he said I have a prostate infection and wants to perform I bladder test on my for something called IC. However, I have been reading about this bladder test and people say it is painful and last for a long time. I am not ready for more pain. So, I think I am skipping that test.
Well, I hope it goes downhill from here. I am about to hit a low point. My ENT has been great about taking me in on a dimes notice. But, I am about to go crazy.

Happy 2008! I hope everyone has a great year. I am praying mine will be better than last year.

Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy Birthday Lord Jesus. Well, it is finally here. I have had a busy day. Went to a couple of family members house. Saw some people I haven’t seen in a while and had great food and fellowship. Hope everyone had a great Christmas.

It is Christmas Eve 2007 and I am in a little pain from my sinus surgery. I really want to blow my nose but cannot. I hope everyone else has a safe and great Christmas Eve. Remember the reason for the season the Birth of Jesus Christ!

Here is a picture of me two days after nose surgery. The packing is catching anything running from my nose. I know yuck. I have to change it about two to three times a day.

I took my exam on Wednesday morning. Thursday, I received a call and was told I did totally awesome on the exam. My name is going on the list for the Pharmacy Technician school starting in August of 2008. I prayed that I would do well and pass and the Lord answered.

I had my sinus surgery yesterday. It went well, except that I had to stay all day in the hospital. The doctor was worried about the anesthesia and my sleep apnea. I am in very little pain. But the best part is I can breathe again.
I finally got released from University Community Hospital at 9:30PM last night. Today I have been recuperating at home. I have watched three DVDs
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix—5 stars out of 5
The Bourne Ultimatum—-5 stars out of 5
and The Simpsons the Movie—3 stars out of 5.
Hope everyone is done with their Christmas shopping and remember the reason for the season the Birth of Christ.

I took my exam today for entrance into the Pharmacy Technician at a local technical school. I will know tomorrow how I did. I feel fairly good about it. Also, I am anticipating a good sinus surgery on Friday.

Well, it is official as of 16 minutes ago. I have retired from my law enforcement career of 18 years at 6PM tonight. I thought this day would come 7 years from now. However, I could not take it anymore. So after a lot of reasons and thought I decided it was time to go. I took early retirement.

UpdatesUpdates coming next month just before christmas. Take care.

Hello all. I know it has been a while since, I last updated everyone. I have been extremely busy with work and I will be taking early retirement, as soon as November if things do not change. I hope everyone is doing well. I will try updating my website in September.

I have been working alot lately. I haven’t had time to do anything. I did go to the doctor reference my hemmorhoid surgery. He checked me and stated everything is healing as expect. It was just going to take alot of time.
I can’t stand work anymore. But, I drone on. I have bills to pay. I am still debating whether to retire early in about two years or stick out the seven years and five months I have to go. Some days I don’t think I can make it to the end of my shift.
I have finished a great book while working overtime a couple of days. The name of it was Freakomonics. It was quite interesting. I am now reading Glorious Appearing the 12th book in the Left Behind Series. Well, I am tired. Take care to all my family.

Well, it is official I am sick of doctors, taxes and the rich. You know I am also sick of people wanting you to do your job and give them the excellent service they think they should receive. But, when expect the same thing you get anything but excellent service.
I wish to congratulate my friend Christopher Soleau. He will be retiring on July 12, 2007. He is taking a better job and will be successful at it, I know. Congratulations Chris!

The website is updated! The website is updated, FINALLY!

I know it has been a few months. But, I finally did it. I have been great the last few days. My surgery I had on April 5, 2007 is finally paying off. I have been going to the bathroom with very little trouble finally. I hope I don't have to have that surgery again.
Other than that I have been working alot. I think last month was my first full month of work in a very long time. This month will probably be the same, except I will be going in late one day. I have to get my passport and help my mom and dad get theirs.
I hope all my family and friends are doing fine. Drop my an E-mail.

Well, my brother tells me that Spiderman 3 is a great movie. I haven't seen it yet and it looks like it might be a while before I do. I have been working alot lately. Plus I am not completely healed from surgery. It only bothers me now when I go to the restroom. Other than that nothing much else has been going on. I have been contemplating retiring early. I can retire after 25 years with full benefits. That is seven years and approximately 9 months away. I just don't know how much more I can take. I am thinking about staying another 2 years. Then starting something new. I am not sure yet. Hope everyone is doing great and I know I will get to the website as soon as I get a full day off.
