I’ve always had a hard time making friends.I have my reasons. Growing up, I kept my Spina Bifida a secret.I kept the fact that I wore a diaper a secret. I tried to keep it all a secret.And now, I’ll try to tell you why. First, before I get started, nobody reading this knows the…

I ran across this photo from the year 2013. I remember the day well. I was at the Flora Bama, which is a Bar/Lounge/Club located on the Alabama and Florida line. Which is why the name: The Flora Bama. I was enjoying Oysters with my Niece and maybe a nephew.I think we ate 8 Dozen…

School Pranks

7th Grade. I didn’t tell anyone that I had Spina Bifida or, more importantly to me, that I wore a diaper.I also had zero feeling in my Butt Cheeks. Back in the day, at school, kids played pranks and jokes. —All-the-time…I’m sure they still do it today. A famous “Prank” would be to tape a…

It happens to everyone. Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, month by month, and year by year, it happens. We see ourselves in the mirror every day. Sometimes multiple times a day.Yet, we never see it. Then, one day, while looking through “old” photos, you run across an old…

Where is “It?”

Wearing a diaper as an adult is embarrassing. Diapers are not perfect. They have weaknesses. I was in my thirties and working full-time as an I.T. Manager. At work, I had been up and down the ladder running cable throughout the building. It was my job as the I.T. Manager to not only care for…

My phone likes to bring up “Memories.” It does this by bringing up a picture with the title, “On this day in the such-n-such year.” (It uses the date on the image.) I smiled at the sight of the picture. I then forwarded it to my two best friends, who were also in the picture.…

Clowns and Bathrooms

People like me think about things more than we should. We think, and we worry.We worry about things that probably would never happen. For instance, I’m always scared that the power will go out while I’m in the restroom changing my colostomy bag. Once you take your bag off, well, you’re wide open. I’m scared…

—Strange Date— As a teenager, I dated very little.I knew my health problems and knew my limitations.Also, I didn’t feel that I was supposed to marry anyone. And, if you’re not getting married, why date? I did go out on a few dates, though. I took one date, “Kim,” to see “The Silence of The…
