any *disabled* fishkeepers?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I was head doorman at a local Roadhouse and suffered multiple contusions due to an altercation. I now suffer from extremely bad headaches, nausea, memory loss, abdominal pain and a really short fuse!! The doctors have said that I probably will not get much better (physically) as I have suffered numerous contusions over the years working in the bars (18yrs). I have to spend the days pacing myself sometime having to go to bed to chill for a bit to help take the edge off. Fish keeping has been very beneficial as it helps me escape the demands of a 5 person family!! LOL
 
I'm a diabetic... have been since 1986. I had a blood vessel blow in my right eye 5 years ago... caused about 70% blindness in that eye for about a year before clearing up some. Now I'm still about 30% blind in that eye.

I have mild high blood pressure but meds keep it in check.
 
My mom always thought I had ADD, I think she was full of crap. I just never gave a crap about doing math homework. I hate math and always have, I AM MENTALLY INCAPABLE OF DOING IT! IMHO any math course above basic algebra should be dropped from school curriculum requirements. It is a complete waste of time because there are computers to do the work for you. 25 years ago, maybe. Now, its a waste. My mental inability to do math has stopped me from getting my business degree, and I have basically given up on school. I have tried petitioning to bypass the math courses to get my degree but they won't let me. I get a's and b's in every other course, just can't do math.
 
I have some issues from 8 major concussions that i have collected over the past 5 years from doing MMA... along with blowing out both my knees .. broken both arms major problems with dislocations of the hips and other joints again from the Jiu jitsu, judo, and boxing. Other then that I have ADHD ADD and was told I have a major learning disability ... which is kinda funny now since i have 3 degrees and now work as a engineer in a hospital .. but its all part of life .. just have to ride it out and go with the flow ..

I did not even think of getting into my mma injuries. No concussions thank god.

Wait a minute 8 major concussions in 5 years ? Who on earth do you train with Brazilian top team ? I commend your efforts 100% your a tough dude.... wow
 
I probably have some kind of ADD. I absorb information about stuff I like really well, but in school I can't focus. I am also incabable of doing math. I have no idea why, it sounds like another language to me. But reading the rest of this thread, wow, it's humbling. I hope I can remember this next time I complain about homework, or get depressed about the prospect of summerschool. All I can say is wow, keep on truckin' guys.
