Joe I've led a pretty rough life. I've always enjoyed the things which put me in a certain amount of danger. I had a motorcycle accident which placed me at the wheel of the car inside of it thur rear window, of course I wasn't wearing a helmet. I was taken to local doctor in small town and except for a cut which followed every rib and cut up forearms I was told well your ok and that headache will go away in a couple days. This accident was in about 1970. There was an accident in 1963 I was 10 and run over by a car pushed into telephone pole and pinned. Everyone said it was a mircle that the child was alive but once again I was told Son Joshua and daughter in law Rosemary I was ok and the headache would go away in a couple days. Later on in life while running a conts. crew in Fla. I got kinda bored and a friend whom owned a bar asked me if I would consider watching the door one night that was the beginning of my bouncers carear Well I am a good size fellow 6' 3" 260 lbs. and usually I could just talk trouble out the door but I also had several beer bottles busted across the back of my head Well I left Fla. and moved back home to Tennessee when in 1984 my DAD picked up a gun and placed it between his eyes and pulled the trigger. Well I started another conts. business mostly because it kept me Daughter Kenley at 3 years oldoutside . In March 1997 I was working on five five foot sets of scallfolds and standing on a three foot stool when it all collasped I touched nothing until I hit head first 28' below . The local hospital said it was a miracle I was alive and ent me home afer four days. They did do an mri at the time but since then I have been having involuntary muscle movments in my right hand and the right side of my neck. I have also been having blanking out spells which come on with no warning I can be talking to someone and I jst kind of freeze They have to get my attention to bring me back I do this in chat sometimes and the words come out all messed up or not at all.
