What the hell is happening to our health??????

This is insane. I went on my page today to see that Kaos Blac is in Brookdale Hospital in the ICU! I've been mia because I spent half of December in Kings County, after have emergency fibroid tumor surgery (they removed 17 of those little bastards)!!!! Are we falling apart at the seams? What are we doing to end up in local hospitals? Is it just a Brooklyn, NY issue (both hospitals are there)? I thought we ate better, lived life more vibrant lives, and exercised more as punks??? Im confused. How is everybody feeling out there? Hopefully 2009 will be a year of health, healing, prosperity and infamy. Talk to me people, are you okay?

What can I say. I'm 38 and got a tricky ticker from rotating shifts and holding in stress for 2.5 decades about mad issues. Don't know if you guys say my posts about depression but one thing I can tell you is we need to let stuff go. I talked to a guy at a facility and I talked to the friends of my that I knew wouldn't judge me and just revealing what I was feeling released a bunch of stuff for me. Talking with the woman i was having an issue with was a big help and having her show me kindness.

A lot of the answers to your problems are right in front of you if you reach out. I know that I'm going to humble myself and get some help on a resume so I can get out of rotating shifts. Point blank I know that my job is killing me and even if that means doing something for a lot less pay then so be it.

It ain't hard to eat right either. I know I want that burger but I am about to go get some fruit and when I get hungry again eat some beans. Pack my lunch before work instead of hitting KFC on the way. Seemed hard before seems simple now. Going back to the gym to lose that weight most definatlely. Next, I'm surrounding myself with people who are doing right.

Kif, dude, what you said below really really hits home with me.

I think what's hard about such changes is that for most of our lives, we ate and drank and did things and took certain jobs without absolutely any thought how it affected our bodies and lives and health and well being.

For me, it was a big slap in the face and sledghammer kick in my head at 400 miles an hour to be forced now to THINK before I eat. To PLAN what I am taking and eating for lunch and dinner and all that. My first thing that forced was stomach problems, when I found out a couple years ago I cannot drink regular milk or cream or eat regular ice cream.

I am finally forcing myself (yes, unfortunately it still feels forced but now I'm actually happy to do it and am proud of myself making the effort) to THINK BEFORE EATING. I still have a day or two that I have junk food, but I totally have to think it through first.

My next step too is going to exercise. I didnt need to exercise when I was going dancing and going to loud rock shows 4 and 5 nights a week year round, and going roller skating all damn summer long and going ice skating with my coworkers every Friday night. But life changes and we work 7 days a week and some long hours and organization and planning is now required to be healthy and to treat yourself right.

Now I finally think (most of the time) that I am worth the effort. I have accepted the fact that it is not easy.
But do we have a choice? No, if we want to live long we have to do it. If we want to feel good we have to do it Kifaru.
