Well, the new year is upon us and life itself is great. The holiday season has past us by again and we had a great Christmas this year and a mild new year, too. I had a couple of guys retire from work last week and it was tough to tell bye and still wish them the best with their retirement.
I ran into some people yesterday that knew part of what happened to me, but did not have all of their information right and were concerned on how I was feeling. I explained to them when I feel pain and what causes it to get worse. I still have an issue with riding my bicycle at work. Getting on it is still hard and it still hurts my pelvic area to do. I also have to watch going over rough areas because of my tailbone issue. That is one of those things I will have to deal with for many, many years. My right pelvic will also hurt me for probably the rest of my life. Smile and move forward. God helps me with this and allows me to enjoy every day.
I got to a stopping point on my sheetrock work. The laundry room is all done and it was a tough thing to do because it is so small. Getting the lower parts was most difficult, but it came out looking good. Betty put a coating on the walls and applied paint to it, too. It looks great in their. I spent some time this last weekend putting some carpet that we had left from one of the rooms at the trailer. It was rolled up and put in the garage attic hidden behind all of the Christmas stuff. Once all of this was out, I got up there to see what was there and found this carpet rolled up. It was a pleasant surprise to find. Getting down on the ground was a challenge but is OK until I need something and have to get up to go get it.
As you can see, I can do things that I could not do a year ago, but I am no where near where I was two years ago. It is amazing what these sudden surprises can do for you and to you. They talked at work today about a guy at our Victoria plant that fell about 15 to 20 feet and died. When I heard this, I was so thankful that God was with me when I fell 25 feet and just had some major issues. Prayers and good faith pulled me through all of this.
Thanks to all of you for helping me here. I guess that is why I think life is great! Smile and move forward.
My new Grandson will be here in another month or so. I am so excited about this upcoming event!
Love to all of you and let God help you out when you need Him to.
