My life is active musically playing in bands, quartets, duets, theater groups and solo work. I am also 75% covered by tattoos of which I have competed at large name conventions. Best in Show at a Skin and Ink gathering was a thrill! Naturally, piercings also accompany the tats.
Free time is spent romping with my 2 pitbulls and my 4 year old grand son Kai Sigurd. In my previous life I had been employed by New York State as a registered nurse for over 26 years until I was forced into disability retirement. Their loss was my gain! Retirement at 49!
I have undergone 9 knee surgeries, implantation of a spinal cord stimulator with revision the following year due to a defective generator, not to mention the plethora of opiates which blurr my day (thankfully).
My latest surgery (2/07) was repair of my left Lateral Collateral Ligament. This injury was sustained wrestling with my pit bulls. Hopefully bilateral knee replacements will be only a few years down the line as I am sick of these damn knees!! I have experienced CP since roughly 1997. How time flies when having fun!
