in response to Schmidty...   Thanks but you already helped me I immediately clicked onto your post #301 and it was like got sent me there. I fell like this whole webside not just one subject is a family who give advice and help and that is rare you meet one person much less about 65 percent of a membership.No offense (whoever is offended should be ashamed, work for it) but some poeple take advantage of others.

A man or woman are only as good as there word is, you can be the most moral yet do immoral things just to get by....but I try to love and respect everyone first, however I used to be a very bad person but I luckily met a man my mom married and is now sadly seperated from and because of the way she did him we no longer have a relationship; not for my part anyway. The point is when they seperated, I went with my step-dad but, it makes me proud to call him dad. He is the most honest and helpful person I have ever met, he changed my life and views, but he got me into helping poeple; because he said to me one day after he helped a guy we both knew wouldn't pay it back, why he did that was my question and we are country(not backwood redneck), but country....anyway he told me "son, about every 8 out of ten poeple may f#@k you, but the lives you can change by doing without an extra thing or two, and you cant replace the feeling you get." I googled this place to find a good doctor and help but I have too many problems in life, and it's sometime hard to bear but my story is too long and it happend like schmidly number 301 post and it was like finding home...but in tje post it says "

I forgot to add:I was raised tough, brought up tough, not given many break(so I thought). Then God kind of slapped me upside the head with a 2X4( He knew that it would take that to get my attention) to let me know I wasn't the bad*ss that I thought I was. As another aidmate put it, I was humbled. Taught me he did.

Mine was a salt treated 2X8, and it was wood I gave the family; because the contractor built there home on a water accumalating area no drainage nothing and I did the draing had the city engineer build a curb systemfor them then after every job(I was acontrctor when I got laid off as a 5th year electrician with 2 and half of a 4 yr degree for Electrical Engineering) anyway I gave them enough wood 2X8's for floor joists, the 1 inch plywood and Gluedown carpet so it would last for 30 yrs and it was one in million.

I'll take them chances anyday anyway I can, still.

When I was 13, she was 20 and her husband was 21 and A good role model for me, he was basically like a Father figure to me; They eventually had kids of there own. They were too young to be like a brother and sister to, however they're dad died when the boy was 5 and the girl was 3; so I always swore I would look out for them. I was a good Electrician and work hard and alot of it, so I always had money and bought them presents on Christmas, birthdays, clothes and glasses(for the girl); whatever they asked for pretty much, even when I got laid off on the 17th of Nov. I always saved up money and tried to be responsible. On 11/29/09, I stopped by my next door nieghbors to check on her kids, girl 15; boy 17. (I wasn't aware the mom's drunk boyfriend had just finished beating her).I helped her (mom) out the door and put her and the kids in my truck, I walked around to get in the driver side and he (drunk boyfriend) hit me from behind with a 2X8 Salt treated board ( I gave him enough wood from odd jobs to redo the floorjoists and sheeting) Anyway I woke up on life support, it crushed my face and head onto my brain. I thought that was the worst then I began having seizures, slurred speech; and also memory/nerve damage, I guess where I was beaten with the board while I was out cold, I was hit in the back quite a few times; enough to rupture L1-L5 disc's.
I went to apply for disability and where I only worked for other companies (instead of myself), for 4 yrs and 9 months; I was told I didnt have enough "credits", of course you must work a minimum of 5 yrs on taxable income (I didn't know this when I was younger)! To top it off I was told by the police they couldn't arrest the guy because he is a "Confidential Informant in an important ongoing case", well that case is over! Meanwhile, my bank account is overdrawn, can't even afford to see a Doctor for pain, much less a Neurologist for anti-seizure medicine(Dilantin 100mg). I have yet to hear from SSI or medicare/medicaid, I have no income other than 200.00 a month in food stamps and my step father who had a planned retirement and worked for this country building defense weapons is having to file bankruptcy because of paying my doctor visits and persrciptions to keep me alive. I feel like nothing because I can't even help pay the $1077.00 lawyer fee for him to file, and I would do without food to take that load of his shoulders, I still wouldn't hesitate to do it all over, and yes the neighbor is still there threatening me and beating on his girlfriend. Someone please point me towards some help and programs, I would love to go to school now, even if I can't work as an Electrician; just too help my dad and get to see doctors and pay for perscriptions.
