Hello All, it has been awhile so Karen
and I thought it was time for a bit of an update. I can simply say
there has been some steady progress. Most everything has improved to
some extent with the biggest issues having to do with my eyes and
energy. I still need to be very careful in what I do and where I go
as catching a cold or something is a very likely possibility for me.
However having said that I am finally getting out just this weekend-
a few friends helped push me along on my first hike in over a year.
We didn’t do much; just a 4+ mile trip, but it felt great to get
out. With the help of some special motorcycle glasses I was able to
keep my eyes in check and we moved along at a slow, steady pace. I
want to send a special thanks to Tanya and Scott for initiating this
trip, I am sure I would still be waiting for my first trek back if
they had not got things going. Really things are going good; some
days are still better than others, but I am back to work full time
and able to do more and more around the house (e.g. cooking dinner
and doing dishes). Things have been so good that Karen and I were
able to go to Chicago for X-Mass for the first time in 2 years, again
we didn't do much but it was GREAT to see family for the holidays.
As always I truly appreciate everyone’s
well wishes, they have been very inspirational and do help keep me
going. THNAKS EVERYONE!
