I have tried this before and didn't get into it, but I have decided that now blogging is basically out of fashion I will start a new blog about me and what I do. This is mainly for me, as an outlet for my daily rubbish and stuff but who knows, maybe someone else will get something from it or something.
So let me start with a little intro about me. My name is Andy and I am 52 years old, 53 this year. I am a recovering alcoholic, 11 years sober, with a heart condition that requires triple bypass surgery that cannot be done until I have lost a shed load of weight. At the moment there is more chance of me not coming out of the surgery alive than there is of me having another heart attack (I had one about 10 years ago), so they won't do the surgery yet. I have been doing Weight Watchers for the last 4 years and have lost just over 6 stone, I did manage to loose over 100lb but then put some weight back on over Christmas so I trying to get back to that level. I have one failed marriage behind me, from which I have 2 children and 6 grandchildren. I am currently married with 1 child. I have suffered from depression for many years and am currently taking antidepressants on a daily basis, along with 4 different tablets for my heart condition. I suffer from sleep apnea (not sure that's spelt right) and have to hook myself up to a machine every night when I sleep. I also have a perforated ear drum in my left ear which means my hearing in that ear is dulled and I have a continual hissing sound in my ear. I have been involved in music in one way or another for a lot of my adult life, either as a roadie or singer or musician or manager, and am currently doing a short course on music production and recording using a Mac computer and professional software, which is really good. I have had a variety of jobs, almost all of which I have hated in one way or another and am currently out of work on sick benefits.
Well that's pretty much a short and basic introduction to me and my situation, of course there is more to it, which I am planning to go through as I go on with this blog.
So that's all for this post, hope to be back with more soon.
My Son has to have a machine at night too,it must be really scary, guess you are used to it now, he is getting there.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see you doing something positive like this, I know that blogging helped me when I was in the throes of the 'Dark place' I miss it but cannot find anywhere that I like enough to start another. I will read might not always comment but know that I will read them x
Thanks Lynda, it takes a while to get used to the machine, the nurse I see was really helpful, I had to change the type of mask I used from full face to nose because it wasn't fitting properly but now it's much better. They also gave me a humidifier unit to stop my nose from drying out which has helped. It is good to know that people are reading what I post, comments are always nice to get but not essential, especially from people that I know care. Thank you x
