One Year Stronger

Today is one year since surgery...Crazy...huh? I thought the same thing.The average person celebrates a New Year on Jan 1st. Not me , my New Year kinda changed dates for the rest of my life. So, here is to the New Year!I am getting a second shot at life, 'so what the hell!' So much in my life is different now. Emotionally, psychologically and physically,I have changed.My outlook on life among other things has changed. To set the record straight, I used to think this blog stuff was a little strange and here I am making one. Like I said, alot in my life has changed...lol.First of all I am writing so I do not go crazy. I want the family and friends that I love and care for to know what is going on with my life. Thank you all!I really do not think I could do it without you guys! I am also TRYING (my eyes are messed up) to read this wonderful book called 'Reversal' It is about this guy who is a physical therapist and had a brain tumor removed in October of 2005 and to make a long story short ,he is ok now. From what I can see. I have only read 20 pages. We have'had' a lot of the same limitations. The book just inspires me to kick the tumors ASS and what the surgery has left me with even harder.As Lance Armstrong would say "This _has messed with the wrong guy."It truly did.
So I had a real nice weekend. Friday my friend Liza came over and we played Nintendo Wii. I can see a Nintendo Wii in my future...ha.I read that it is an excellent tool for people with spinal or head injuries for the coordination. That I need , my coordination is garbage! So ,that was fun! Saturday, I hung with my friend Kevin and also an ooooooolllllllldddd girlfriend of mine,Amy, who is a real cool girl. Kevin and I ate dinner, talked and watched a movie and some other stuff,but I wont bore you.Seeing my friends when home from school is fantastic! I really think being around them would make me heal quicker! What sucks though is the Cubs lost a crap load this weekend! I think all 3 and IU got rocked.Bad weekend for my teams! It is early in the pre season. I am just getting excited! Till next time!
