We drove our motorhome and one of the largest rentable U-Haul
trucks down the Alaskan Highway in August 2012 which likely will be the last
Alcan sojourn for us. My arms and hands
we in such great agony trying to steer that U-haul on rough roads. We already knew I had carpel tunnel nerve problems in both wrists and thought that
was causing my pain. It turns out there
were other nerve problems beginning to rear their ugly heads.
What I have is a
severe case of Neuropathy in my arms and legs. Nerve pain is horrendous and extremely
debilitating. Some days I spent most of the day in bed, trying
to find a position that lowers some of the pain. I have never been so sick in my entire life.
This past few years have been a
cacophony of doctors voices trying to help alleviate my pain. Some of the medication I've used has done collateral
damage to my esophagus and to my intestines. I have been on some of the narcotics for so
long I now have a "Pain Management" doctor who specializes in cases like mine.
At some point he will help me
wean from Methadone and Hydrocodone, the
"controlled substances" I've
been relying on to keep my pain level low enough so I can get out of bed and take
care of most of my own health and life needs.
I even go with Jeannie to ride in the golf cart and provide some coaching
tips. She is becoming a pretty good golfer.
The past four months have been dominated by these health problems. But I have been making some progress since my
last surgery to repair the Ulnar nerve in my right palm. The best hand surgeon in
Boise did my surgery.
So today I finally opened my blog on my desk top computer
and was overwhelmed when I discovered daily hits at a pace never previously attained. And this without any attention from me. That's the magic of Entrepreneurial Internet
Marketing of your own brand. When it
takes on a life of its own then the pivotal point has arrived. Turning
it into a lucrative enterprise is upon me. I am not 100% but well enough to work at my online enterprises. Stay tuned in for a more regular reporting of
my online progress toward an extra $2000 income every month.
