Well, week one working my old job went by with out any major problems. It was a busy week for the most part, but I did OK. I got to see a lot of people that I have not seen in a while and most knew what I went through. Most were able to keep up with me on this site. A new shift started on Monday, so I saw more people that I had not seen for quite some time, too. I had a job Monday morning where I had to climb up a ladder to get to. My wonderful wife was not happy about it and my boss was a little concerned, too. I made it up about 20 ladder steps without any issues. It was hard to get up, but the coming down was better. I thought the coming down would be my problem, but it wasn't.
After lunch today, I got into a conversation with two guys that I recently met (new hires in my old work group). We had a good talk but they asked about why I was so tender at times. I gave them the whole story as I know it. They, like many others, were surprised that I was walking and actually still alive. I know I am one of the fortunate ones in life and God helped me out so I could stay here for a while longer. I know my wife is going through a lot of concerns for me right now, but with time, my body will adjust and she will get used to me as I improve. I know I still have a lot of pains, but He lets me breathe EVERY day. For this, I am thankful. I am not taking my pain medicine every day, but I take it every once in a while. My tailbone still hurts and my pelvic area is still sore, too. I do not try to lift anything with weight from the ground. There are certain things I know not to do to push myself in the wrong directions, so I work around these and move forward.
I will close for now as I am and hopefully with keep moving in the right direction. Keep your prayers moving in the right direction and ask God for help if needed. He is the Great one that helped everyone save my life. Thank you all for being there for me. I love you all so much.
