April Fool!

Sorry if I gave you a scare, but I couldn't resist.

I'm alive and well and fully functional. Well, I don't know about fully, but I'm intact. At least until you get hold of me, that is. LOL

That's Life

It has been nearly six months now since I lost my legs. It has been a difficult adjustment. Besides the fact that I may never regain full use of my left hand, which has slowed down my typing speed considerably. How ironic that we built a ramp to the entrance of my new home, and included wide doorways, thinking we might one day have to accommodate an elderly parent in a wheelchair.

Now I just need a ramp down to the basement so I can wheel myself down there to work on my hobbies. I'm thinking of getting back into flying my airplanes. I am determined to get my hand working well enough to be able to build things again, but at least I am able to manage with most things.

It's nice to be home again, anyway. I've got a couple more surgeries to go, and hopefully that will be the last I'll have to see of the hospital for a long time. But I will be seeing a lot of the physical therapists, for sure. I always wanted an excuse for getting more exercise and to get out of the job that was driving me into the ground - I guess I should be more careful about what I ask for.

But I'm not complaining - I'm thankful to be alive, as is my wife and my kitties. Got lots of time now to reflect on things and make new plans for the future. Looking forward to getting back to my hobbies. And I'm thinking of learning to juggle - it might take me forever, but the more I give my left hand to do, the more incentive it will have to improve.

Well, that's enough typing for today. I just got back from physical therapy and need to rest now.
