Doing fine
Just getting by. Honestly, I'm depressed that I can't put the needed energy into work lately and have been calling in sick. I feel it ruins my reputation, but I'm confident I can build that back up.
I have been having a lot of pain in my hips, which i thought was just from laying around so much and carrying so much extra weight. We had some xrays done to just make sure the cancer wasn't screwing around, and the first thing my doc said when he came in the room was "Answer me this, did you skateboard a lot as a kid?" Uhhh yeah. "You have some serious arthritis in your hips that can only be caused by lots of hip trauma usually seen in skateboarders." I was famous for the worst hippers in the world. It kept me from breaking arms, wrists and legs because i would take all the fall in my body. now i am paying for it. probably hip replacement in the future.

Hey, sorry to hear about your hips. At least these can be replaced. Skateboarding has taken some of the spring out of my back, and there's nothing they can do to pump the 'ol spine back into shape.
Ahhhh.....but it was all worth it!
Hey Bro,
I never would have thought much about skateboarding affecting the hips. I'm sure you agree with your friend "flatlander" that it was all worth it. You were good at it! I wasn't around much during those years for you, but I do have a picture in my head of you on your skateboard. : )
I don't think depression is going to ruin your reputation. I think you have a resaon for the depression. However, I say...you are an inspiration to many in your classroom, so try and be depressed on your own time. You have a difference to make!
I may not be a writer, but it's an English teacher from C.O.S. who made me more of a creative thinker, and helped me understnad the "writer/creative thinker" side of my hubby. I'm thankful for that.
I'm also thankful you are my brother. My prayers don't stop for you, and Mitra. I do believe in the healing power of God, and continue to believe for that healing in you. I love you!
