"Gotta Have a C Leg"

Wow! What a day. Jim was liberated for a few shorts hours today. Compliments to Charles Dankmeyer and his staff and John Smith and his staff from Otto Bock. They provided me with a “C Leg“. The “C Leg” allowed me for the first time since my amputation to walk again without the assistance of damn crutches. It was an emotional experience that only an amputee could relish in . As you know I have been without a leg since May 2006. Remember I had my leg amputated on a Monday and went to work on a Friday, on Saturday I rode a three wheeler on the “Boardwalk” and never looked back. Although , I have been frustrated and questioned by even strangers why I elect not where a leg. Well if I had a “C Leg” by Otto Bock I would be walking now . My health insurance company claimed a “C Leg” was a “ Luxury - Deluxe item “. What in the hell is a “Deluxe Leg” when it is man made , that is crazy, just nuts to think. Oh the decision makers of Blue Cross know what a “Deluxe Item” is , the knees you come into the world with … oh yea , not some “man made” contraption. Therefore I had to accept under protest a less than efficient and inferior product. The leg I had to accept in lieu of a “C Leg” was not what I needed but got. The leg I got is like a lamp post compared to what the C Leg offered in walking. The “C Leg” for lack the of a another word “ the bomb “


What I did today was test walk a “C Leg“. A “C Leg” has a micro processor that allows so much. One, I was able to wear the “C Leg” longer today than I had worn my previous leg since I had received the “ LAMP POST “ 18 months ago. In trying to get my point across look at this way, a Rolls Royce compared to Fred Flintstones buggy. I hope you can get the point. The “C Leg” was forgiving in a missed step and not as rigid in the attempt to walk. The C leg made you feel like you were lighter on your feet. I was able to walk different grades and steps with ease. I feel in a month or so with the C Leg I could share a game of golf with my sons. Now that will be the day !!!!


It is a disservice to the human spirit that the “C- Leg” is not available to all leg amputees. Flat out it is outrageous with no excuse. I cannot convey to you what it is like as an amputee, but believe me…… a “C Leg” gets it done , gets it done, feel me. The decision maker with a health insurance company that denies a “C Leg” as a “Luxury or Deluxe item” should be fired. They are “Sell Outs“. I wish I had time to continue with sharing my excitement of the “C Leg” . The time has come for me to devote my energy’s on the
“C Leg” and hopefully my time will not be wasted in that I will be able to obtain one like yesterday. The effort might also allow future and current amputees the experiences of walking in comfort as close to humanly possible in today’s world.

Dankmeyer and Otto Bock you don’t know how great an experience today was for me. Thanks for sharing in a life altering experience. You all are a great asset to all amputees. Please keep up the good work.

Instead of on the internet this week an working from home, I probably spent to much time letting people know what was going on and just relaxing. Although we have got a few hot items from “ClickBank” with our home based job . That is what is cool about working from home or car or park bench. First, it is not like you take a day off. It just so happens that the Internet job I can carry wherever I chose to do my job and work. Our web sites , we pretty much maintain with a our two person operation( wife and I). If business continues to grow with cash, nobody knows where I might wind up , maybe the island’s somewhere working. As long as there is internet access you are still working from home as I see it. I have not gotten to the point of just working 4 days a week. I am still working on consistency with a cash flow. Working from home or as I call it a… home based job and the cancer work for me. Don’t forget that I had my leg amputated May 06 that was probably what really got me motivated. Even before losing my leg I hated to drive. Now I have a good excuse not wanting to drive and work from home. Get in touch and I will share whatever from my experiences that may be positive for you if you do the same. That is what is so hard trying to find good info , info that makes some since, not a million dollars next. I wish working from home in lieu of working mans job. Til’ next time ……

What is a Secured Credit Card ???

I have heard it before " I can't get a credit card" like any other credit , a credit card is obtainable. Question is just at what cost to you. The cost can be just crazy. It's called a "Secured Credit Crad" . Use your head and judgement. Ask yourself "why do I you need a Credit Card." What is your purpose of obtaining a credit card with bad credit, or as the bank likes to call it, to make you feel better "blemished credit" Will a check card work ask yourself ?

Here is the deal with a Secured Credit Card. The issuer of the Crdeit Card sets up a savings account for you in your name. The fee for the service can be expensive. That is why I ask why do you need a CreditCard. After the fee is payed, your savings account is set up to accept your deposit.The deposit can be made a lot of time by "MoneyGram" at a local Walmart. Your deposit determines how much credit you are exteneded. This is where the securded comes in the isser can't lose. For instance, you deposit $300.00 in the savings account. Some issuers will allow you to increase your account up to $10,000.00. Check with the issuer for details. Bingo $300.00 is your credit limit less any set up fees. Set up fees genrally run about $100.00 to $125.00 per account plus another $25.00 per card issued.

About 10 days or so after the deposit is made you will have your new credit card. A few of the securded Creit Card issuers will offer a expedited service that will allow you to obtain the Credit Card overnight at a extra fee, dont do it unless it is a must. Now that you are up and running here is what is next. You will get a monthly statement that will show your Credit limit , balance and Min payment due and date due. You make the payment on time and the issuer notifys the credit breau that your payment was on time. Now you have started the process of repairing your Poor Credit. The Credit Breau does not know that you have a "Secured Card" or do they care. The Credit agencys just care about you whether you make the payment on time. After about a year or so you should be able to obtain a basic Credit Card
without being a secured card. Dont get caught up with making a payment more than the min. due, if you can go for it. Do not do more than you can and create a problem with offer accounts or bills. We are trying to repair your credit not make it worse. Any questions feel free to contact me. I will try and answer any questions from where I have been. You might be able to learn from some of my many mistakes. Next time I will be writing about Re-FI's with the home mortgage. I just speak or write. from my experience I do not proclaim to be an expert.

Credit can be a best friend if you use control and take care of it like a friend. At the same time, extended credit can almost seem to destroy you from the inside out of abused.

Today was the quarterly /post Fall cyberknife treatments checkup typical of a cancer pt . It will be a couple of days waiting on the results being that I had the test CT Scan here on the "Shore" with Georgetown University / Johns Hopkins over seeing my care. In the intermin it's sit and wait.

On the bright side I had a great conversation with a long lost cousin. We talked for the first time in 7 years so. Great conversation with me sharing most of the information about where I have been and what I thinking towards the future. It was nice to converse with someone that seemed to apperciate the goings on. I also got an e-mail from my sister n law , that was on the upside, she offered, trying to understanding the events and where I am coming from. We had a good laugh over an upcoming family event that is taking place next weekend. I wish I could share it , it was just a good laugh.

I am really fired up for this rest of the week "Speed Week" from Daytona. I look forward to enjoying the race from the comfort of my living room. In the past 12 years it was a work day. I would try to get fired up, but I had to provide the entertainment at work "BSing" with the customers. Yea saw maybe 10 laps or so. The Daytona 500 is the Super Bowl of Nascar. Stay tuned for take on the credit industry and where that is and going.

"Hell" that part or the "Heaven" part comes to roost tomorrow. Time for the follow up to treatment to encompass the Ct scan. Now the reaity of the cancer deal sits in. Some in my network claim I live in denial. Well , let me say this about that, call it what you might, its called living with cancer. Yea living with cancer. You gotta " move" , move meaning live life. The quote of " dream like you will live forever, live like you will die tomorrow". That about as well as it can be said. (I wish I could acknowledege where that quote came from but I am unable to.) springsteen proclaims " it aint no sin to be glad your alive" That is the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Take the words and practice what they mean and see where they lead. You gotta keep the glass half full in lieu of half empty approach.

the real side of the deal is your family and trying to be support for them as they try to stay strong and support you. That is the part that could pull your heart through your throat. You have always been the control of the buggy now it runs rein free. Like down and uncharted trial. Well tomorrow we will find direction as we get the results. I going to go with the half full until someone tells me different. and the story goes on at a later date.....

"and it goes on"

to continue "how it all came undone" what surprises people the most is the "amputation". I had the leg removed on a Monday went to work on Friday, really not that big of a deal. What was a big deal is the business my wife and I had that we had to close. In January 2006 (pathliogocal break ) it all began and from there the business was on a downward slope. The end of the Slope was August of 2007. In the end it was a relief once we were able to get away from the whole enviroment of work , work and work more. We ran a "hands on" Restaurant & Bar. I was the personality "go to person" and my wife was the detail person who kept it all together. In losing my leg the "hands on" approach became "hands off" .... more like sitting around directing trafffic as in playing owner. Being in that position really didn't do much for me that is for sure. I still could wash dishes, help on the line if the kitchen was in the weeds. On one leg hopping around would wear on you after awhile , not to say I did get in the way or I was always asking for staff to get me things. Really I just was not effective and in the way, not that I would give up, just had to be realistic. Stand by.... plenty to come....

How it all came undone

It all started coming undone.... when I slipped and fell to a pathlogical fracture of the femur to find Osteosracoma aka "bone cancer". In the short did the chemo and elected to have my leg amputated to the hip ( hemi-pelvectomy). That word sounds scary, really not that big of a deal. More to come.....
