Randy says to Vora "How long I got my mate"

Vora says this as he gives him A.D.T

Ob-la-di, ob-la-da life goes on Brah

La-la how His life goes on

If you want some fun

Sing ob-la-di ob-la-da

Mahalo nui loa for the Love, Support, and Prayers💙

Took the liberty of re-writing Tim McGraw's song to fit my journey:

I went zip lining

I went mountain river rafting

I went hot air ballooning

I went Vardo building

I went nature savoring

I went deeper into self-awareness and meditation

And I loved deeper

And I loved more

And I spoke sweeter

And sought harmony

And I stopped punishing others

And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying

And I said

"Someday I hope you get the chance

To live like you were dying

Like tomorrow was a gift

And you've got eternity

To think about

What you'd do with it

Hey buddy ….

I’m waiting for a new echair to replace my wheeled chair that hammer pushes me around in. It’ll be here Saturday. This echair collapses into a suitcase size package. It will be great for places like the zoo, the aquarium, resort hallways etc …and …the hammer will no longer have to push me. One reason that I’ve not gone out much is because pushing me makes the hammers back hurt. This chair is 1/5th the weight of of the etrike. It’s not roadworthy like the etrike and only goes 3.5 mph. The etrike goes 28mph. Always looking for work-a-rounds my brother. This should elevate my game considerably.

❤️❤️❤️

echair folded on lift for transport. Hammer can’t push me in the echair , this will get me out again.

Still have the etrike but it overloads the Bruno lift being too big and heavy for the lift.

I dunno mannnnnnn ….. everywhere you go ( medical facility ) , bells are ringing and Kumbaya breaks out with a party and / or dancing. Seriously ????

Sooooooo …. Based upon your exploits, and hungering for some of that Kumbaya myself, I took a nice box of muffins ( doughnuts ? I forget ) to my frequent visit to my infusion clinic ….. thought I might get , at least , a thank you or see some appreciative smiles ..etc. .

But ….” Ohhhhhhhhhhh Noooooooooo” , well excuse me !!!! “ ( Ala Steve Martin ) rotflol. I got a quiet whisper I could hear from my chair “ oh ! Gosh, look at all those carbohydrates!!!!! “ and a big frown. ( add belly laughing here ). I couldn’t help but think how different it would have been if you brought them.

You got da magic touch and springs in those legs little buddy , I think it boils down to you being too dang cute !!! Rotflol. Of course you developed that persona over decades of meeting patients / medical work ….. but still 😂😂😂😂😂. I made nuclear scanners smile, you made people smile, literally.

Love you buddy, you ARE da man !!! Love your great QOL posts.

❤️❤️❤️

dockam in reply toKaliber

LoL, yea I usually bring a smile, optimism and Fun to wherever/whomever I go. Just a joie de vivre, an exuberance that lifts others as well as myself.

That's no bueno for that staff to not be grateful for a gift - haters gonna hate 😢

Yea, years as a DDS and 10 yrs with #stageivpca and still being here and upright is so uplifting. It fuels may enthusiasm

LoL about being cute, like a toddler taking 1st steps?

Love you right back big Bruddah Kal

hanging in Ventura is one of the best QOL pleasures you can enjoy. It’s addictive lol.

Got my new electric chair in this afternoon . Charging the batteries now. Gonna test it on the Bruno chair lift on the truck tomorrow morning. Hammer no longer able to push me in the wheeled chair …her back in rough condition. This will make both our lives easier. The etrike is too big and heavy for the Bruno lift, this collapsible echair is ideal for the Bruno. Two QOL problems solved. lol

❤️❤️❤️
