Yesterday, my Wife & I did the 2K Family Run as part of the Ottawa Race Weekend. This was our first time, and we had a blast! Our Race started at 4 PM. We got there around 3:30, and the area was packed. Right before we started, we ran into a friend of ours, which [...]

On Saturday Afternoon, my Wife & I will be doing the 2K Family Run as part of the Ottawa Race Weekend. This will be our first time doing it, and we’re looking forward to it. Originally, I was going to do the 5K, but my new Chair’s not here yet. Hopefully, it’ll be here for [...]

On Tuesday Afternoon, I headed to the Civic Hospital to get a Chest X-Ray done. As with most Medical Appointments, my main concern was being done before my ride back home arrived. There’s been many times that I’ve either missed my ride, or was unable to even see the Doctor just because my ride showed [...]

First of all, I apologize for not posting for a few days. It’s been really hot, and when it gets like that, all I want to do is as little as possible. Like most people, I can only do that for so long. As most of you know, this past Weekend, was a long Weekend. [...]

On Wednesday, I went to see my Respirologist to tell him about my recent Lung blockages. Long story short, I’ll be getting a Chest X-Ray next Week, and he suggested for me to start using my Humidifier at home again. I’m not a fan of using the Humidifier because last time I used it, I [...]

On Tuesday, my Wife & I attended a LIVE Taping of WWE Smackdown. This was my first one in at least 6 or 7 years, and this was my Wife’s first time at a LIVE WWE Event. In all honesty, she was a Trooper about the whole thing. She even made a Sign for it. [...]

Good news, my friends. I managed to get the thing out of my Lungs. The thing was pretty big. I’m starting to think that it might be Scar Tissue from my Lungs. It’s been discussed before, so perhaps that’s what it is. Sometimes, Blood comes up too, but that’s not really a new thing either. [...]

So today, I gave a Presentaion on Wheelchair Accessibility, specifically my experiences with it. Anytime I talk about it, it deperesses me to a degree. It depresses me because for Ottawa being Canada’s Capital, it’s really not very accessible at all, and makes Canada look really bad. The Presentation only lasted about fifteen minutes, but [...]

Yesterday, I discussed the Media, and how they portrayed me. Today, I’ll discuss how people in every day life view me. When I was a Kid, people often felt sorry for me.
