It Has Come To Light...
A few of my Facebook friends have just become aware of what some of my VOX friends already know:
-Yes, I take medications.
For the benefit of my Facebook friends who are just becoming aware of this, I thought I'd briefly explain (again) what I take these medications for.
(Thank you for your continued patience, my VOX friends!!!)
Before you worry TOO much, Recognize the fact that MANY musicians are on medications for similar reasons.
-It DOES NOT make us bad people. -We dive into our music, rather than acting out when we shouldn't.
I am on Coumadin FOR LIFE, because I've had one too many DVT's (Deep-Vein Thrombosis; -Blood Clots), I take a version of Paxil to help my Depression with Psychotic Tendancies. (I, AGAIN, remind you that my tendancies are merely verbal..) I DO love some people, but MANY IDIOTZ make me SWEAR A LOT in uncontrolled-outbursts.
-Thus, the MEDZ.
I take Lortabs to control the pain caused by two herniated disks in my spine: One in the neck, and one in my lumbar region. And lastly, I suffered a partially-collapsed lung in October of 2007, and I have 1st stage Emphysema.
I MUST take my meds to control my anger-fueled outbursts.
-Otherwise, we get what we just had here on Facebook yesterday morning.
-Any more questions?
No? -Good.
I will leave you with a video of Metallica's video for "Fuel", and a video of Rik Emmett + Only One at our LAST Canal Concert Series.
-I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Just thought I'd make a short comment. Thanks for the explanation. I do totally understand. Please continue to take your medicines that you need as they are essential! I too deal with some of your similar issues and had back surgery once when I was 23 and they would like to do it again now at 41 :-( I am in constant pain also and take Vicodin, though it does little for relief. Hang in there and thanks for the explanation. Know that you have friends who care and who do understand better than you may think! Take care of you first and foremost because you are IMPORTANT!
Blessings
lol
I try my best to take care of myself, but sometimes I mess up. -It's the darnedest thing: I have my pill box RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME at the computer, yet sometimes I forget to take them. -I don't know why.
-Weird, huh?
Oh well. -Thinking happy (mostly because my friend Morningberryz talked to me again...)
;-)
You arrive from out of the blue, and have the nicest thing to say to me!
I am sympathetic to your plight, and I'm glad you are understanding of mine. I turn 40 at the end of this month, so I'm too old to give up now!!!
;-)
Thanks for your encouraging words, and welcome to my neighborhood!
Blessings to you my new neighbor (hee)
Aloha, Kim Skaggs
Thanks a lot!
I won't be giving up anytime soon, that's for sure.

It took me a minute...
Hello Kim! -I'm glad you liked Vox enough to get your own page!!!
-Feel free to scroll down my page and check out my songs!!!
I did make my own page but not sure if I'll do much with it LOL. I tend to do that, create stuff like this and then nada! We'll see. Glad you realized it was me, was wondering if you would haha! I did listen to a few of them so far and so far liked them!! Keep up the great work!
Blessings to you my friend!

Well, sometimes I'm slow, but it soon dawns on me.
Feel free to scroll through my pictures, audio and whatever I post! -I try to keep things a small bit more interesting here than I do at Facebook...
;-)
Let me know if you like any songs in particular!
:-)
-I like it when you smile!
Awww... Thanks sweetie! -I'll do my best to take care!
