Neurofibromatosis Cafe A place to talk, have fun and share.

At left are new friends I met last night, Tony and Jenny.

The other couple I have known for years, Carmen and James.

My new friends just came over and sat next to Lou and me. Never bringing up the subject of what happened to me.  Lots of times it is no longer a subject.  Lou and I brought up the fact that I have Neurofibromatosis. They were so understanding and kind.

I feel great that I no longer stay home in fear of what someone will say to me.  It I felt that way,  I would have missed out on meeting the great people I have met last night and in the last few years.  My life has finally begun. I didn’t give people a chance before. This is why I started Just Ask, to encourage others that have NF to live life to the fullest. I’m doing it and I encourage them as well.  We can support one another in everything we do.

Last night’s Houston Roller Derby championship bout between the Psych Ward Sirens and the Bayou City Bosses was one for the ages! I thought the Sirens just might pull it out in the end but with 45 seconds left in the bout, two Sirens were in the penalty box allowing Death by Chocolate to run out the clock.

Both teams rocked last night! Although the Sirens may not of won, they certainly came out as winners. I’ve never seen more heart and passion in a sport than what I saw last night.  I think Mistilla the Killa gave Holla-Pain-Yo a complex last night! Every time I looked up, Mistilla was introducing Holla-Pain-Yo to the floor. And Carmen Geddit was steady as a rock!!! All night long. Never giving up. Incredible performance! Jekyll & Heidi had an incredible jam in the first half helping to keep the score close. Congratulations to the Bosses! Both teams played their hearts out.
