Well, another week has almost past and I am still here. I had someone ask me today about my accident because she did not know about it too much. She asked if I had any lingering problems with it. I told her my right shoulder still hurts to reach for something and my right elbow still bothers me once in a while. I still have issues with my right pelvic area, too. I can reach the ground, but it is a lot slower than it used to be. I am also noticing that it hurts my lungs some to cough or yawn. I have learned to live with these issues and deal with the discomfort involved.
I had to go look at a job today and it was up on the third landing and had to climb stairs to get to it. This still gets to me after this much distance, but I can make it and STILL smile about it. I trained Walter to do part of my old job on Tuesday. He will do one part and I will keep another part of it for now. I change offices sometime next week and get into my new area. I will still handle the "rush" jobs in one area and do "regular" planning in that area, too. My boss asked if I could handle this for a while. I feel like this will be easier to do this than what I do now. Smile and move forward! I can live with this. I will only be correcting jobs that I planned in the first place. If there is a problem with it, I would rather correct them myself so I can learn how to do this better.
I got out yesterday and used my weed-eater in my yard. I also did the guy behind me's yard, too. He had shoulder surgery and can't hold a weed-eater, yet. All this effort made me tired, so I slept well last night.
I know there are still people that read this pretty regularly and most don't reply to my words. I can live with this and will keep trying to move forward. We had a meeting today at work and I still have problems with those metal chairs. My broken tailbone will probably be with me forever. This is not a pleasant thing to deal with, but thanks to God and the help he gave me, I will make the most of it. All is part of life and we just have to make it work FOR us.
Thanks for being one of those that reads this to find out how I am doing and my love to you for caring about me. Thank you God for the help and inspiration you have given me.
"Peanut" is getting bigger (this is the "nickname" that Megan gave to my new Grandchild). I am excited about this and can hardly wait until February is here.
I will see the doctor on Monday to find out how my right elbow is and what can be done to resolve the issues I still have with it.
Love you all, Mark 7/30/08
