Honestly, I am not going to come.
I have several reasons, first being I have no fond childhood memories of Texas to come back to. Texas was an enforced every other year trip so my Mother could go back home to see her relatives, all of whom were stuffy angry old Texan alcoholic women to me. The trip was a ball buster, as my father didn't stop except for gas. The trip was a hated every other year affair to all of us kids.
So, I have a long standing lingering mental "Texas block" from those childhood experiences.
Next, lingering health issues. I am really just recovering from prostrate surgery and I have a lot of raw places and several partially destroyed male plumbing type items left over from all the somewhat drastic attempts to get my bleeding to stop. They finally stopped the bleeding by totally cutting off the blood supply to my prostate which then died in place. Issue to me is that cutting off the blood supply to an area isn't all that laser precise, and several other areas got reduced blood supply due to the "fixes" applied and I became limping wounded accordingly and have yet to recover completely.
Lastly, Staph and Strep infections. THE CLEAR #1 injunction I have right now is to STAY AWAY from hospitals, clinics and dentists offices as if I get the terrible S's it can kill me. My heart valve site is the primary death concern, but with all the raw meat inside me there are lots of other places for staph and strep to take up root as well.
Lastly, since I began stirring around working on my house some I realize just how much weaker I have become in general. Since any of you last saw me, my hair has gone totally white and I look very much like an sick old man. Legs, back, general mobility has declined a good bit. I am hoping that I can recover this lost mobility this summer.
