Well, some time has passed since my last update, but I am still here and still breathing on my own. This makes it a great day. My Dad's birthday came and went and so did Betty's. These days, as they should be, are special to them and are an important part of life itself and I am glad to be here to help them enjoy these days.
Dad and I went hunting a couple of week ago and getting around in this terrain is still tougher than it used to be. Climbing in to the stand is still tough, but getting down is harder. I am able to do it so this means a lot.
I am convinced that people don't look at my comments posted here much anymore, but that is OK, too. I have come to the conclusion that I write here to help me exercise my brain a little bit and to update my status to those that still read it. When I take Matt to soccer practice, I sometimes try to walk a little bit around the park. I can make it most of the way around the track before my pelvic area starts to hurts. I end up limping most times by the end, but I have to push myself to do it again next time. I notice climbing ladders at work hurts less than it used to, but I still can't go to far without some pain and getting tired. When walking, my right pelvic area is what hurts and climbing gets me in the same area. I guess this is the damage I did here when I fell. I hope with time, it will get better, but the progress is not going as fast as I wish it did. I guess I can deal with the discomfort as long as God let's me wake up breathing.
Well, it looks like winter is finally going to make it here. It is supposed to be down in the 30's this weekend and part of next week, too. I guess I get to find out just what cold weather will do to my pain level. If it causes problems, God will help me deal with it and move on with life.
I get asked almost every week about my outlook on life itself. People still don't understand why I always see the bright things in life and why I am always in a good mood. I guess if these people had to deal with the problems my family and friends had to deal with to keep me around, they would realize how much better today is than where it was 18 months ago. How bright the light is depends on how close you were to the train. Yes, it nearly hit me and I am still here to treasure EACH and EVERY day.
I am going to close this note for now. My love is extended to each of you. Don't be afraid to talk to God to help you get through any problems that are there for you and your loved ones. He listens well and will help you understand what needs to happen.
Thanks for wasting your time here with me.
