About
Robberto Bos created this website.
His own experience with physical pain:
～ Two surgeries. Broken wrist. Two concussions. Pain from tough police training. Flipped over with a bike. Fell with motor cycle. Wounds from accidents with windows, opening his arm & face/head. A 40 pound branch broke off and fell on his headless head.
～ 40 Years cluster headache (nicknamed "suicidal headache").
～ 50 Years restless legs, causing endless sleeping problems.
～ Worked as an improvising clown in children's hospitals for 7 years seeing lots of pain and suffering there.
～ Could hardly move right arm and hand for a year because of repetitive strain injury.
～ Could hardly walk for a year because of heel pain.
～ Bursitis under sitting bones & in shoulders.
～ Worked with dozens of Parkinson's patients.
～ Dupuytren's contracture in both hands, and beginning arthritis in one hand.
～ Weak immune system. His body would catch any cold that others had. So he gradually minimized teaching, dancing, socializing, shopping, etc, because it was so frustrating to catch colds and flus over and over.
～ The reason for that became clear in 2012: a diagnosis of blood cancer, called "chronic lymphocytic leukemia" (CLL). That diagnosis was followed by an uncertain 10 years of "wait & watch" without any medical treatment. CLL-patients' immune systems don't work well, so they have to be extremely careful not to get infected by bacteria, moulds, viruses.
～ Severely swollen spleen.
～ Needles in his arms about 40 times for blood tests and blood transfusions.
～ Covid with so much pain in the throat that swallowing, drinking, and eating virtually impossible for 3 weeks, almost dying from it in the beginning of 2023.

And no:
No, Robberto is not a pain or healing expert at all. He investigates, reads, practices, meditates, imagines, chats with AI, writes, and publishes here.

Why BearBlog?
In the past I made static websites, followed by several Wordpress sites. Now I want everything to be simple, clean, fast, easy, inexpensive – without excess, advertisement, cookies, and fuss. Finally I found Bear. Love it!
