The Day I Lost My Mind...really!

“I won’t even miss me” The last post I was posting on facebook. I was going to get dressed for work like any other Monday, except going to work I was turning the other way, knife to the ready, and stop and kill myself.

Funny how the body sometimes doesn't do what you want it to do, cause early Monday morn,  I had a panic attack along with an anxiety attack. My very wonderful wife Dawn knew something was wrong, next thing I know she had me at the ER which then lead me to a 9 day stay in a Mental Behavioral Unit. Other wise the crazy house, or looney bin.

So, I’ve been gone for awhile, I have a disease , Severe Depression, Anxiety, Panic attacks and a mild case of agoraphobia. Along with chronic pain disorder, a medical illness that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Depression can cause physical symptoms, too. Also called major depression, major depressive disorder and clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave. Depression can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and depression may make you feel as if life isn't worth living. Three weeks ago this past Monday I had my plan in order to end it all. Thank God for Dawn, she saw me having a major anxiety attack, she quickly got me to St. Mary’s ER, where they admitted me to the Mental Behavioral Unit, where over the nine days I got help, medications and one on one and group therapy. I will now be seeing a therapist and a psychologist to further help me deal with this disease. I’ve put a mask on for a long time, I’ll still joke on facebook, but I will now, also, be transparent, “doctors orders”. Thanks to Rick Orrel, John Moon, Milo Pittman and Dawn Piitman, along with many more.

Coming up I will attempt to blog about some of the people I met, during the nine days of "therapy".

Trust a Fat-Guy to Find the Best Foods!

Trust a fat guy when looking for the best food in the area! You want to know where the most decadent goodies are hiding, ask a tubby! So I have decided to share some of my favorite pig-out spots, items and recipes here. Over the next several posts I will attempt to bring some really good finds here in mid-missouri, make sure and share yours with me also.

First off, the best kept secret in Eldon, Missouri! Everyone knows about the chili-dogs but there’s a new place in town with THE BEST BURGER you will have in a long-time. Make sure and stop in the new R
OCK ISLAND Restaurant and try, “The Rock”. Rock Island is located in the old Eager Beaver Restaurant building across from the KFC on Business 54-52. Newly decorated and remodeled and under NEW ownership it could be a new staple of mid-Missouri treks! “The Rock” is a bacon cheeseburger that will rock your world, make sure and order a side of fries!

No two frozen custards are the same! They may sound alike but they don’t taste the same! Randy’s Frozen Custard, home of the original Ozark Turtle will serve up the tasty frozen treat that can’t be beat. Plus with nearly 100 mixes, concretes that are served your-way! Make sure and take the pets for a free treat and tell them the “Weimer” guy sent you!

Want to stay at home and have dessert? Then pick-up some Blue Bell Ice Cream. Blue Bell Creameries is the manufacturer of Blue Bell brand
ice cream, which was founded in 1907. The company, which produces the third-best-selling ice cream in the USA, sells its products in only seventeen mostly Southern states, although Blue Bell ice cream has also been eaten aboard the International Space Station and at Camp David. Corporate headquarters are at the "Little Creamery" in Brenham, Texas.

If you hadn’t dipped the Homemade Vanilla yourself, you’d swear it was hand churned in an old fashion ice cream maker. Go get some soon!

I’ll be bringing you more picks from the fat-guy soon!

The return of The Ramblings of an Unemployed-Bald-Fat-Man

Lying in bed last night I turned to my wife and said, "I really need a segway to help me walk the dogs." She laughed! I did not think this was funny because I was serious. Many of you know that I have a rough time walking since our accident several years ago. Recently my limp has had a serious effect on my back causing me extreme amounts of pain. I was thinking of a way to keep me mobile and functioning as a viable part of the ecosystem we call home. A segway would be perfect for me to tool down the street, three dogs in tow!

I vision it now, my wrap-around sunglasses, knee length shorts, helmet because we must be safe, and three excited yet extremely exercised dogs cruising oak street! What a sight to behold!

Then as if the ground itself was seized and pulled from beneath me, she uttered those words... Those words any middle-aged-fat-yet-unemployed-again-man shivers to hear. "If you can afford it, you can do it!" Oh the beauty of the sound a wifes voice makes as it reaches into a mans chest and pulls out the still beating heart! Then she stabbed it as it lie in her hand, "Not like insurance is gonna cover that!" The beating... stopped!

You see, I was at the doctors office earliar that very day and had a lengthy discussion about what insurance would or would not cover. For example: I am obese, I have diabetes, a mis-functioning pitutary glad, a colon resection, arthritus, femur implant, hip plate, knee problems, and now back problems, but the insurance company dictates to the doctors that a gastric bypass that would releave most of the symptoms and pain would not be covered by insurance. Neither would many more procedures and apperatice. (IE a swimming pool, I had to try.) So I could only imagine if they would consider a Segway a medical device.
So I rolled over and went to sleep dreaming of winning the lottery!



It's strange to say it, but yet theraputic, "I'm obese." Very few fat people just come out and say that. "I'm fluffy!" No big-boy you way past fluffy!

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy and/or increased health problems. EWWWW!

Then they throw that word on there MORBID: As Wikipedea says, Morbidity Obese increases the risk of many physical and mental conditions. These comorbidities are most commonly shown in metabolic syndrome,[2] a combination of medical disorders which includes: diabetes mellitus type 2, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, and high triglyceride levels.[28] Complications are either directly caused by obesity or indirectly related through mechanisms sharing a common cause such as a poor diet or a sedentary lifestyle. The strength of the link between obesity and specific conditions varies. One of the strongest is the link with type 2 diabetes. Excess body fat underlies 64% of cases of diabetes in men and 77% of cases in women.[29]
Health consequences fall into two broad categories: those attributable to the effects of increased fat mass (such as osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, social stigmatization) and those due to the increased number of fat cells (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).[2][30] Increases in body fat alter the body's response to insulin, potentially leading to insulin resistance. Increased fat also creates a proinflammatory state,[31][32] and a prothrombotic state.[30][33]

All I know, I've been big and got bigger! BUT, how dare some insurance computer tell me, or yet a doctor, who has went to school, how to get better! I pay you insurance company, buck up and pay-out!

On a closing note, support an artist if you can. Buy a painting, a sculpture, a story, a candle, photograph, book or drawing. Starving artist make the world a better place.

The creative juices oil the hinges of this great planet. Without art the world would be so dull. Be creative also, we have become these robots that don't create anything! So as I dream of lottery tickets, segways and skinny jeans, Keep the faith!
