Another one bites the dust
Collette just ended the chat on the dating app. I put the website out there so she could see the journey. I should have bet money, she’d dip. Too bad, would have been nice. I’m not defeated! On Too the next.
Tummy Time
At physical therapy today I did some Tummy Time like newborns do. This builds flexibility and strength. Like a newborn i hated it. It’s a necessary evil.
Sawing Wood
At dialysis I caught myself snoring loud! I know what the people around me were thinking. “How attractive!”
Happy Daylight Savings Time Day!
Do we “save” daylight. It's the same amount of daylight, shifted to appease the farmers. Thank you Mrs & Mr. Farmers for messing up my body clock. As you are struggling to change the time on your carclock your friendly local fireman wants you to check your fire and carbon monoxide alarm batteries.
Lemons make Lemonade
I don’t like lemonade, besides the point. I had plans for a date, something came up and I couldt’t drive the 2 hours. I went to the driving range instead on this beautiful day.
Football @ Therapy
I love the way this MUSC (Medical University of South Carolina) in Wedt Ashly is laid out. There are yard markers on the floor, like a Football Field. Easy for me understand and remember directions
No more sticks please
At dialysis today the staff wasn’t able to get good access and I got stuck 5 times. They tapped out. They guess there is clotting in the graft. Off to the Vascular Surgeon i go! Fun times.

Giving It Back
Why wait for a support group to be created in the Charleston South Carolina area? It’s 2025 and I’m ok with tech. Lets try a virtual support group. Scroll through the Home Page of NielFlamm.com for the deets!
Big Virtual Hug
Thank you if you found your way here. That means you’ve at least watched a video, either a short reel, or 2 minute format, are a LinkedIn connection, and/or another contact. So much appreciation for all the support!
Let me know what i can do better. Use the contact form on the homepage or email, niel@nielflamm.com.
Flash!
No I don’t mean lights, camera, action! No I don’t mean the DC Comic character. I’m talking about the add-in that was used once upon a time to create interactive websites.
I took a beginner Flash course to create a Learning & Development department intranet page. This knowledge helps me create, edit, and manage content.
Today’s tools are way easier and user friendly. What else can I dig up from the past for NielFlamm.com?
They don't Know!
Just schooled a Gen Z'er on Mon8ca’s “Just One of Them Days.” I even had to sing it!
Getting Ready
Today while getting ready for the day I stared at my residual limb and thought “Why me?” Then I remember that God gives me as much as I can handle. I suppose God thinks I can handle a bunch.
Jenny Craig
Part of morning ritual is to get on the scale in the bathroom to check my weight. I do it for a few reasons.
I was once 350 lbs and want to make sure I don’t approach that weight again
To check my liquid weight gain between dialysis treatments
The most impingement one, so i win my Fraternity's (Tau Epsilon Phi) Alumni Club (Phi Chi Chapter) Biggest lover competition.
It’s a yearly semi-friendly competition with money and bragging rights with a weigh-in and out, 2 months later. This year it started 2/2/25 and I think it ends 3/20/25. I'm not doing so well. I need to step it up!
Words of Wisdom
Today, I heard something great from the G.O.A.T Tom Brady. I’m paraphrasing, it isn’t what I do when I won or succeed, it’s what I do when I have an obstacle/fail.
Those words rings true for me. After all these health issues, I could easily regress into my introvert behaviors and not interact with the world. I believe I may get permission, or pity to do that. Instead I make a choice to go out, take chances, and live a life.
It’s a life I didn’t expect, it’s still my life to live!
