Wow, a beautiful weekend this was. All is going good for us. Life is still here! I went to the rodeo in Houston on Friday night. We went over to look at the show animals, but most were already gone. I did not realize how much effect that much walking would do to me. I limped around the area most of the time, taking more rests than I was wanting to. It amazes me how much my body can not take something like walking. All I can say is at least the escalators were working because the ramps would have made it this much harder. I was still feeling the pain the next day. I wanted to work in my garage, but I just could not do much. My pelvic area does not seem to be improving as fast as the rest of me. My shoulders still hurt to reach them out, but I don't use them like this very much. One day I will realize my body is not going to be where I think it should be.
Betty told me last week that we better start looking for another house because I still have some trouble with the stairs. She thinks if this is this bad now, where will I be in 5 years. I don't like to think about things like that, but she let's me see reality. I am lucky to still be here and breathing, but wanted to be back where I should be. This may never happen and I guess I should realize this. I got outside and washed vehicles today and just cleaning the tops is not as easy task and the lower parts still hurt my pelvic area. I guess I will have to adjust my mind to where my body finds reality and learn to live like that. I know my sleeping is not getting any better either. I just don't sleep as good as I used to. I tried to blame it on our bed, but we bought one of those sleep number beds about a year ago, so it must be ME. I try to keep my chin up, but it is hard not to be down over this.
I am still here and have so many people that love me. This always means so much to me every day. I am still here breathing on my own because God and prayers to him decided this was best for me. Thanks to all of you people, friends and family, for all the support you have provided for me and my family. So, I am still here to bother anyone that needs to be bothered! Just let me know if you need some of this and I will provide to you all I can... I hope this all makes sense but sometimes I talk in circles because my mind is not where it should be either...
Love you all so much,

Hello again Mark and family!
It is great that you've kept this BLOG going so we can all still be amazed at your progress! Every time I think about your accident and all you've been through, I thank God you are still with us.

We just wish there was more we could do!
I'm looking forward to seeing you and yours in June. Hang in there!
