Someone Shot My Son Today

WELL THAT DOES IT!!!

If anything has convinced me to get my Carry and Conceal License it’s now because of a phone call I just got from my son.

My son drives a party bus on the weekends to pick up some extra cash. It was around midnight last night while waiting to load up the people in his bus when he said he heard what sounded like firecrackers. He suddenly realized that someone was shooting a gun. He ran for cover but was shot in the leg. “Oh MY GOD,” I said to him. He said the bullet was a round nose bullet that went right through the calf in his leg. Thank God it wasn’t a hollow point bullet or hit any of his vital organs or I would have been going to his Funeral.

Of all the things that I thought would happen to him like driving Gasoline tanker trucks and such, It never even entered my mind that he would get shot. He called me this morning and said his calf muscle was sore. He told me it felt like when you get one of those Charlie Horse’s in your leg. He said he would be alright. I wanted to go out to Iowa were he lives to help him but he told me, “No, I will be fine Dad.” He has his sister living close by so I called her and told her to watch over him for a couple of days.

This afternoon I went and signed up for the Carry and Conceal classes. They said it would take a month or two before I get my License.

I Can Not Come Back To Cardiac Rehab Anymore

   Back in March of 1995 at the age of 49, I had a heart attack and had a double By-Pass. I didn’t think I was going to make it at the time but someone must have been watching over me. 

 When I had recuperated from my surgery my Cardiologist sent me to Cardiac Rehabilitation and I Started Phase 2 - May 23rd 1995.

I didn’t want to die so I kept going 3 times a week. I felt secure knowing that the nurses were right there in case something went wrong. 

 

 Then I graduated and began Phase 3 - Sept 1st 1995. I was getting stronger. Now I was able to get around better. 

 After I finished stage 3, they said I could keep going to Cardiac Rehab, so I did. For the next 20 years Alexian Brothers Hospital let me stay and  I worked out 3 times a week in Cardiac Rehab. There were a few times when the nurses sent me up to the emergency room because I was getting these rapid palpitations or what I call “skipped heart beats.” I was sure glad I was in Cardiac Rehab with the nurses.

 Now after going to Cardiac Rehabilitation 3 times a week at Alexian Brothers hospital for 20 years suddenly they decided that I could not come anymore. I was devastated. I wrote to the President and CEO of Alexian Brothers Hospital in Elk Grove Village in Illinois and explained to him that I couldn’t afford to go to a community fitness center.

 Dear Mr. Werrbach

My name is William Kaufman age 70. I am in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Class at Alexian Brother's Hospital in Elk Grove Village. Recently I received a letter from the Facilitator of Cardiopulmonary Rehab that says that I have to find another place to exercise because of cut backs. I had a heart attack and a By-pass in 1995 and have been going to Cardiac Rehabilitation 3x's a week since 1995. I am below the poverty level and I am on Alexian Brothers Assistance. I can't afford to go to a commercial exercise program. I don't know what to do. Cardiac Rehab has kept me alive and healthy and I don't want to end up sitting in my apartment or I'll end up getting another heart attack if I do. Is there any way you can help me and let me stay at Cardiac Rehab at Alexian Brothers. 

Here are two posts about myself that I wrote in my Blog about my heart attack and going to Cardiac Rehabilitation.

 Thank You, Sincerely

 Well you can see the response I got from The President and CEO of Alexian Brothers hospital in the letter at the top of this post. I have been looking around for a fitness center but I can’t afford any of them. After the engine in my car blew up at Christmas, I went out and leased a car JUST so I could get to my Cardiac Rehab class. Now I don’t have the Cardiac Rehab anymore. It’s the 19^th of January today and I have until the end of the month and then that is it. The hospital won’t let me come back anymore. I don’t know what to do.

Unbelievable 2nd Amendment Speech

Unbelievable 2^nd Amendment Speech   

Sorry Obama but your tears did not come across as believable at least in my mind anyway. I guess you thought you would try a new trick and cry when you spoke to “We The People” about screwing around with the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Well it’s not going to work.
