Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hey Kirk! Me too! I was off for quite a while. Trying to get back in here and offer some support! Hope you are doing well. Still coaching? How are the boys? I'm dealing with a strange rash that acts up about every 2 weeks! odd, and they are no longer making my Gold shots, so he bumped me down to the oral version, which I hope will hold me OK since I am a bit better these days. Managing anyway! And my back is killing me! Had an MRI and have a herniation and some bulging discs, but what else is new??? LOL post when you can! -Jo In a message dated 3/5/2012 9:34:29 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Kids are doing great...as a matter of fact (my oldest (13)) IS ALREADY 5'10 " or so and right around 200 lbs. He applied to & was accepted/is attending the Milton Hershey School since the end of January and with a little luck he'll graduate from there. It is hard not to have him home all of the time, but getting into this school is akin to hitting the lottery. When you graduate high school from there he will have $84,500.00 in a college fund..all from the school. His grades have always been great (Nat Honors society) and now he has every possible opportunity to do what he wants (school wise) at the tip of his fingers. I guess there is at least one good thing about me being disabled, as you have to be pretty damn broke to get in down there...LOL! The only problem now is that on (10 yrs old and damn near 5'6 " already...in a size 11.5 shoe!) wants to be @ Hershey in the worst way, but I know my wife can't handle both of them being out of the house this quickly. We were just down to visit for my Birthday (3-3) and I got nailed hard Saturday night and don't remember most of Sunday...but that's my life....He'll be coming home this weekend for the 1st time since he started there. In a full year they only get 5 " free " weekends that they can use to go home or spend time away from the school. They also get 10 days for Thanksgiving & Easter, 2 weeks for Christmas, long weekends for holidays (only if their grades and attitude allow) and than they get 6 weeks off for the summer. the untouchable part is the educational opportunity in front of him, the world is really wide for him now,and the sky is the limit. He is working on getting back into shape as he wants to be able to start on the Varsity football team as a Freshman next semester. I know he has the ability and the talent, but I told him he is competing against 60-70 other kids now and if he wants to start he had better get into the best shape of his life. He joined track and that started this week. I'll start him lifting weights when he gets home in June, but I told him he can get much of the same benefit by doing hundreds of push-ups & sit-ups per day.....Hell,it worked for Herschel , so there is no reason it can't work for him. Oh well, have to try and get some damn sleep. I still can't sleep worth a damn @ night, yet once the sun comes up I can snooze all damn day! I also am never hungry during the day but starve at night!!! Not much else is different here....I am doing better than I was but nowhere near where I had hoped to be. Catch you later, Kirk. PS...I sometimes only check my email 2-4 times per month, so if I don't reply quick, don't think I am ignoring you. I just have become pretty burned out with the amount of emails I get and such. Later Hope you get somewhere with your back. I was laid up for close to 2 years until they put in that morphine pump implant. My back is still a mess, and always will be, but at least I can stand up most of the time now. > ** > > > Hey Kirk! > > Me too! I was off for quite a while.
