PEOPLE STILL CARE IF YOU PUT FORTH EFFORT AND TRY PEOPLE WILL HELP YOU OUT. I have pushed myself in order to not miss any school this year.
I had a criminal procedures test today which is Thursday I could not make the test so I emailed my teacher. Here is my email
Subject: TEST LATER?
Can I take the test tomorrow, Monday, or next Tuesday?
My back has been out again and I can not feel my legs or anything and my dad has been driving me around. However, dad could not bring me over there at 130because he had a doctor appointment he had to be at2pm. I apologize for not asking my math teacher if shecould give me the test again today. The medicine I'm on causes sleepiness. I wanted to do my best on the test. If I can take the test later I will not take themedicine.I can be there tomorrow as early as 11. I apologize for not letting you know in advance. Ijust found out or I would have asked you about it inadvance.

With the recent death of wrestler Eddiee Guerro

This comes from reports than another wrestler is on the "death watch"

FROM
The PWTorch.com Newsletter reports that another high-profile WWE wrestler is believed to be on "death watch" by his lockerroom peers.Although the report attaches no identity to the wrestler, it claims that his death would make the media coverage for Eddie Guerrero look "minor" by comparison. The story also did not describe the potentially fatal problems facing the wrestler, but it seemingly relates to the stressful lifestyle of the business.The situation is reportedly of no secrecy to most of those within WWE, although no one can confirm if Vince McMahon is aware of the predicament."It's one thing to show how much you care about a colleague by crying on the air after he dies. It's another to care enough about someone to do what it takes while he's alive to keep him from dying - even at the expense of box office receipts, storyline interruptions, and being deemed pushy, nosy, or a nark," the article by Wade Keller said.

Here is an interview from a former wrestler about who is next.
Andrew "Test" Martin, he explains; Andrew "Test" Martin Rants About Eddie, WWE's Drug Problem Interviews :: Posted by Michael Shalik on Nov 14, 2005 site http://www.sescoops.com/artman/publish/article_2070.shtml
I'm actually wondering who's next? Who's next to die? I can think of at least 15 to 20 people who have died from various things - mostly prescription pain killers. For all you wanna be wrestlers who wanna get in this business, especially now when WWE doesn't pay you anymore than you would make at a 9 to 5 job, let me break some things down for you. When I started wrestling I had never seen or heard of Vicodin or Percocet or Soma.
How come so many wrestlers die from these medications and football players and hockey players don't? The answer is simple - wrestlers, especially WWE wrestlers, work five days a week all year long taking bump after bump in the ring. A doctor explained it to me like this: Every time you take a fall in the ring it's like getting rear-ended by a car going 20 mph, so how many bumps in the ring a night do you take? Multiply that by how many times a week you work all year long. That's a hell of a lot of whiplash and pain.
I can remember hearing a conversation from some unnamed WWE head guys talking about how this certain person needs to go to rehab but they couldn’t send him because he was to important to the show. That's the reality people that is how we are treated. Look at me. I break my neck in the ring had to have two discs taken out of my neck and a steel plate put in and was told at the time by Johnny Ace when I asked if my job would be in jeopardy, 'We don't fire people with injuries like that.' Hmm, that's funny, because two months after surgery I got fired because I wasn't working. My seven years of busting my ass for them and putting over the boss's son while my foot was broken in a cast was all forgotten about. When Johnny Ace called me and told me they were releasing me - which of course he put all the heat on Vince - I said to him, 'What kind of message are you sending the boys that if they get hurt they are going to get fired?'
So all the guys who don't want to lose their jobs, what do they do? Pop a couple of Percocet or Vicodin and mask the pain because god forbid they say they are hurt and lose their job. I'm not going to name any names, but I know at least a dozen or so wrestlers who are addicted to these things for that very reason. Get hurt, lose your job. I just turned 30, my back aches everyday, I have a metal plate in my neck, and yes I got in the business at the right time and have a lot of nice things, but is it all worth it?
You guys don't see the ugly side of this business. Yes, wrestling is entertainment, but the bumps and bruises are real and sometimes they don't go away. So think long and hard before you get in this business because I can tell you first hand that if you're not working or making them money they don't give a sh** about you and the sad part is Eddie was clean and I guarantee he won't be the last one to die in the next 12 months.
So that's why I say who's next? Don't take your life for granted it's a gift. Don't go to bed mad and tell the people you care about you love them because you never know. Take care

This week's promise: God will never stop working in our lives

God's guidance

I will bless the Lord who guides me; even at night my heart instructs me.I know the Lord is always with me, I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.

Psalm 16:7-8 NLTThe steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. He delights in every detail of this lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the Lord hold them by the hand.
Psalm 37:23-24

Giving thanks that God is nearSometimes we try to "ride out the storms" in our lives—doing this the best we can. We think, If I can just hang on and be strong, I can get through this. David knew he couldn't make it on his own. In the past, he had found help in the Lord God. And in this prayer, David again sought the Lord's protection: "Keep me safe, O God, for I have come to you for refuge" (v. 1). He rejoiced in the guidance and assistance the Lord had given him. Though his enemies were trying to shake and topple him, David stood firm because God was "right beside" him.In prayer today, acknowledge that God is right beside you—upholding and guiding you.

Thank him that he helps you and does not leave you to struggle on your own.A pray for today…

Dear Lord, I will not be shaken, for you are right beside me… from The One Year® Book of Bible Prayers edited by Bruce Barton(Tyndale) entry for November 4

THE RIDE ALONG

I suffered through back pain and walking gone and did a ride along with the London, Kentucky city police. I rode with Allen Harris. I have to push myself to show my teachers I'm trying this year. I have a new respect for police officers.
We stopped a car on the new 30 the car was going 72mph.
We checked some one that was stopped on the new 30.
We worked a wreck.
We also worked an alarm call you never know when the alarm is going to be real, so treat every alarm as if it is a real alarm.

I'll work another ride along next week hopefully I'll feel better next week.

NO GAMES,

Bad News...

Hippa smitta I believe in privacy but misleading people and lying is something that makes me mad and sick.
The local doctor that I go to sent me to a nuerosurgeon because I have lumbar scoliosis. However, Doctor Carmel Wallace of Corbin, Ky. said "cerebral palsy and scoliosis does not get worse." I have had mild cerebral palsy all my life I did not walk until I was 18months old.
I HAVE SEEMINGLY GOT WORSE.

I had a small bulge in 2002 but nothing was done. I saw Doctor Menke of Lexington for my scoliosis and the bulge he did not do anything.

After years of wanting surgery I do not want surgery now I could be paralyzed with it. I can live with pain I have lived with pain all my life. I'm very scared.

I went to the nuerosurgeon Doctor Brookes before he don't do anything eiher. BUT I MIGHT NEED SURGERY AGAIN...

This is scary. I know something is wrong and its not scoliosis. My legs have went numb and have been tinglng I almost fell several times at home with mom and dad. The local doctor that I see did not order an MRI or anything.

I eat the pain pills and I hate pills so I'm hurtting.

I have wrote the below before but it bares some repeatting. My back started hurtting October 29th and constantly on October 30th. I have since then fell once if not three or four times everyday since my back has started hurtting. I'm trying to walk as much as I can.
See one time Sept. 22, 2002 My walking went and it was all do to a small bulge.It looks like deja vu all over again this time i'm not getting surgery; neck surgery did not make me normal back surgery sure as heck will not help back surgery could possibly paralyze me.

I CAN BARELY FEEL MY LEGS RIGHT NOW BUT I CAN STILL FEEL THEM I AM STILL WALKING RIGHT NOW.

TWO WEEKS AGO FRIDAY I SAW THE DOCTOR TO GET AN XRAY ON MY BACK THE XRAY SHOWED NOTHING BUT POSSIBLY A FRACTURE BUT IT WAS A BAD PICTURE SO SHE TOOK ANOTHER

I HAVE MORE TO DO WITH MY TIME OTHER THAN WAIT AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE ALL DAY

I THINK A RUPTURED DISKS OR BULGING DISKS BECAUSE MY LEGS ARE NUMB AND TINGLING. BUT NO ONE WILL TELL ME ANYTHING

AND NOW SINCE THE DOCTORS AND NO ONE WILL TELL ME ANYTHING THE NURSE CALLED ME BACK THursday MORNING TOLD ME THE ONLY THING THE XRAY SHOWED WAS SCOLIOSIS AND AS PEOPLE GETS OLDER THE SCOLIOSIS GETS WORSE AND IF I KEEP HURTTING SURGERY MIGHT BE NEEDED TO PUT A ROD IN THE BACK UP

SO IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING TO HAVE TO LIE AND BE A FAKE AND SAY NO MORE HURTTING I HAVE TO TOUGH IT OUT NOW I CAN NOT AFFORD TO HAVE SURGERY
MOM AND DAD ARE BEING SPIRITUAL I NEED TO BE A SUPER SPIRITUAL NOW AND TRY TO BE BETTER

However scoliosis does not get worse cp does not get worse but I have some how gotton worse.
Everything has seemingly got worse....

Sorry for the caps again...
I'm frusterated see mom andad say every year around this same time I hurt i'm tired of hurtting

I HAVE FALLEN A LOT...

I MIGHT NEED SURGERY AGAIN...

ALSO I RESEARCH THINGS AND HERE IS SOME THING I RESEARCHED I CAN NOT FIND LUMBAR SCOLIOSIS FROM http://www.webmd.com/hw/back_pain/hw56441.asp

Low Back Pain Cause

Most pain in the low back (lumbosacral region) is triggered by some combination of overuse, muscle strain, or injury to the muscles and ligaments that support the spine. Many experts believe that over time, chronic muscle strain can lead to an overall imbalance in the spinal structure. This leads to a constant tension on the muscles, ligaments, bones, and discs, making the back more prone to injury or reinjury.

The causes of low back pain tend to be interrelated. For example, after straining muscles, you are likely to use your back differently than usual. As other parts of your back work harder or move in unaccustomed ways to make up for the injured muscles, they also become more prone to injury.

The most common causes of low back pain are:

Strain of muscles, ligaments, facet joints, the sacroiliac joints, or coccyx (coccygodynia). This can
be the result of a sudden injury or overuse.

Pressure on nerve roots in the spinal canal. Nerve root compression can be caused by:

A herniated disc, often brought on by repeated vibration or motion (as during machine use or sport activity, or when lifting improperly), or by a sudden heavy strain or increased pressure to the lower back.

Osteoarthritis (facet joint degeneration), which typically develops with age.

Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis, vertebra defects that can allow a vertebra to slide over another when aggravated by certain activities.

Spinal stenosis, which typically develops with age.
Spinal deformities, including curvature problems such as scoliosis and kyphosis (unless severe, these rarely cause symptoms).

Compression fractures, more common among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, or after long-term corticosteroid use. In a person with osteoporosis, even a small amount of force put on the spine, as from a sneeze, may cause a compression fracture.

Fractures of the vertebrae caused by significant force (as from an auto or bicycle accident, a direct blow to the spine, or compressing the spine by falling onto the buttocks or head).

WHERE THE WHITE MAN WENT WRONG!

Where the white man went wrong!

An old Indian Chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a ceremonial pipe and eyeing two U. S. Government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles" asked one Official,
"You have observed the white man for 90 years. You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
The Chief nodded in agreement. The Official continued, "Considering all these events where did the white man go wrong?"
The Chief stared at the Government Officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it." "No taxes." "No debt." "Plenty buffalo." "Plenty beaver." "Women did all the work." "Medicine man free." "Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing." "All night making love."
Then the Chief leaned back and smiled, "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."
