A new entry on my blog...


I was not planning on writing for the Blog last night. In fact I was just going to post about the Blackout on the Facebook or over at Democratic Underground, you know talk about rummaging around, looking for the candles and the wind up radio. I really didn’t think it had too much to do with the thrust of the blog.

But when I sit down and really think about it, about how much my life is centered on medical devices, medical devices that need electricity, it becomes something more than unnerving. Even a chance occurrence such as a Blackout can have a profound effect on my life.

Yep. Now, it seems, in pretty much every corner of my life, no matter how small and insignificant it may have seemed to me back when I was a regular walking talking breathing person, I am dependent and restricted because of my attachment to some sort of enhanced Oxygen supply. These items range from my concentrator to that mobile tank I sling over my shoulder or even that big 50-hour tank stashed in the corner of the living room. Whichever one it is, I cannot escape that reality. It is my life.
