The Juice in the Arm gang, what to do.

OK long ball fans, just a few more weeks before some players start showing up for spring camps. The really big news is that the JUICE IN THE ARM GANG did not make the HOF.  I think that Berry, Sammy and Mark will never make membership into the Hall as long as the voting sports writers have a memory of the juicing scandal, Lance has admitted to doing the same thing and he was striped of all his titles. I believe most of America considers juicing as cheating.  Non of the three got close to the 75% of votes need for membership into the Hall of Fame, in fact non got even 40%. The newest member of the juice in the vain gang is Alex (won the HR title a few years back with 54). He can look forward to never being a member of the HOF.

The last player to make the 60 homers club before the JITV gang took over was Rodger Maris, remember the call '61 in 61', that was a 38 year span before Mark did it. The last Pro Player to hit 60 before Roger was my father Forrest Edward Kennedy (Frosty) in 1956, for 5 years he was number 10 on the 60 homers list until Maris dropped him to number 11. So from 1927 (Babe Ruth) until 1961(Maris) only 11 men had hit 60 or more homers in one season, and it was done 12 times (Joe Hauser did it twice) in a 62 year span.

Then between 1998 and 2001 it was done six times by only three men. Did we really need drug testing to know that something was up?

You can't really take a way a home run title (Sammy Sosa hit 60 three times, but never won the title) but something should be done about the stats.

I would like hear yor comments on this subject and any thoughts on what organized baseball should do, if anything on this matter.

88th day of not being home

They switch beds on me. This bed is way to small and had a very uncovertable night. They say they are working on it but now I can't do by bed exercise and my bad leg is cramping because I can't straighten it out and I have to lay flat or I will slide down off the bed. Harder for me to breath when flat.

My brother Bob came to see me. He wheeled me around the place and we went out on the patio and spent about an hour talking, first time I've done that. When I got back to my bed I fit fine. Now everything is as good as can be expect. Think I will sleep much better tonight.

Bob came back brought my sister to see me on their way to dinner.

87th day of not being home

Left Foothill at 5 PM and got back to Park Regency at 6:15PM. Good to be back.

Foothill Medical Center is still going thru the acredidatiion process and is very under staffed folks still need training.

Stay away from this place till fully open.

My trip to Tustin

 Hemoglobin is 8.5 and dropping, on my way to hospital.Stool sample rusted positive for blood.

They had wrong size gurney and now have to wait three more hours to get right one.

Friday, 2/22/2015- spent last night at Foothill Regenal Medical Center in Tustin. They ran some blood test and then admitt me to hospital. Will talk to Doca in just a few hours.

Doc says I must starve today and take laxitives, tomarrow colonoscopy and other test. Trying to see were I am bleeding. Will be a tough nite not eating.

Only upper today.

Colonoscopy will be done at 10am tomarrow , I wasn't clear enough. They did the upper one and found no bleeding only some gas rites. Now starting my second day of not eating. More drugs to make me shit and I don't think there is any shit left in me. 

They removed two polyps and clean out my Colin and found no bleeding. Could not wait to eat my 500cal lunch. They will keep me overbite and my discharge me Tomarrow, my hemoglobin was 9.1 a very good sign.

73rd day of not being home

Went to my Ortho Apointment yesterday after delaing one week. The trip by ambulance was very enjoyable. I get to get outside and feel the sun and breath the fresh air it was great.

The Docs removed the staples from my hip and closes the drainage wound and said it was healing well. They took a lot of X-rays. My right hand may have some lasting damage, it's hard for me to make a fist and my wrist is always in a lot of pain. It may be fixable with surgery later after my arm has healed. Docs OK me to start trying to get me to start using a wheelchair. Most of my PT time now will to get me into a wheelchair. I will see Docs again in six weeks.

Got up on one leg today

My Drs apt got canceled at the last min when my ins decided not to cover the cost of transportation. I rescheduled for next Monday and now have to figure out how to pay the $586 RT cost.

Today is Jan 1, 2016 67th day of not being home. Today I was able to stand up on my left leg for about 1 min, first time I did that in 67 days. Big improvement .
