Hard to believe, another week has gone by. I am doing OK, but still have pains. These pains seem to be getting better slowly, but moving me along in the right direction. Work is going OK. Some days are worse than others, but I think most people out there are glad I am back. Certain things that are part of my job were not getting done and now they are. I have to deal with purchasing people several times a day, but I work with them as well as I can and I think they like this. I am not one of those people who makes no mistakes and God has helped me realize this and I move forward with my life. I try to give people what they need without it becoming a problem to someone else. Sometimes this does not work out that way, but when I can, I try to be easy to work with. I would like to think I was this way before, but I don't know for sure. My mind does not know how I was or who I was, but I like to think that is how I was. So many people kept up with my progress in life through this BLOG and most loved having the information so easy to get to and current. I can only give credit to Betty and Megan for keeping this information updated. It really scares ME to go back and read a lot of this information. To realize where I was and how I was, I can only thank all of you for the effort and prayers put towards me and my recovery. I hear it a lot of times where people tell me that they were praying for my recovery. You just don't realize how great this makes me feel. Many people were involved in my ability to still be here, but the person that was with me when I fell, did the most critical part to save my life. Thanks Shane for that. I know this was not easy to deal with at the time, but I am still here because of you and your ability to make the right decisions for me.
I went to physical therapy yesterday and I can feel it this morning. My recovery was not moving along as I thought it should be, so I decided to move this bar forward again. My shoulder still hurts when I reach for something and my pelvic area hurts to get up and moving. I know with time, I will be ME again. God is a great help to me to get me there. This physical therapy makes me tired, but that is part of me getting better. I have many things to do around the home that I am not able to do right now, but when I am, look out. I was told in the hospital that I would be in a wheelchair for about 6 more months, maybe up to a year and then on a walker for another year. I guess these people did not know me or who I am. God helped me become stronger everyday. My hard headedness would not let me wait for these time frames. I think my doctors realized where I was and how I was doing and let me keep moving forward as my body would allow. He told me not to push too fast or I would end up back where this all started. I knew this was a bad place to be and would not go back if I could help it.
Just a little note to anyone still following me to express the amount of love I have for all of you and thanks for praying for me. I am still here because so many people knew God would help me. I love you all so much!

Nice to hear from you, and that things seem to be moving along in the right direction. It must be pretty strange to not remember things about yourself. Hopefully that will get better also. We still pray for you everyday and know that God will continue to strengthen you. Take care tell Betty we said hello. You both have a great and blessed week. Love and prayers, the Keatons
Mark,
Thanks so much for keeping up with this blog. It is so nice to be able to check up on you by just logging on. You are an insperation and proof of God's hand in our lives.
I hope you are planning on being the MC for the reunion. I will cry, but can't wait to see you standing up in front of the family.
Love you,
Karen Bills (older cousin)
