Back home ............











I was released from the hospital on Wednesday, and have been at home starting the recovery process. It is amazing, and maddening, what formerly simple things are complex, if not impossible, from the confines of a wheelchair. I am now starting to grasp what a slow and painstaking recovery looms ahead. Thanks to all for your thoughts, prayers, calls, and show of friendship and support during this very trying period in my life.

God Bless!!

now bad news for me.....




Well, I am writing this post from the hospital room at John C. Lincoln here in Phoenix. Last Tuesday night as I was riding my motorcycle home from work, some blind jackass decided to pull out in front of me and wrecked both the bike and me. Needless to say, this not only maddens me at morons who cannot seem to understand the simple process of looking for traffic before pulling out to cross the street, it is a huge statement as how EVERYONE needs to look out for motorcycles. I have been riding some 30 years, and work hard to survive other people's negligence. This time there was nothing I could do to avoid the impact, as this guy drove literally into the side of me. While I avoided death, I have had my life put completely on hold, as the impact broke my ankle and gave me numerous cases of road rash. I will require 4 surgeries and 2+ weeks in the hospital, and then continue to need months of physical therapy to get my life back on track.

Please people, pay attention while you are driving, and LOOK OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES!!!!!
