Long time comiing

The human body is frackin amazing. I lost my right leg in January. Walking again unaided by canes or devices was a challenge but I am there. The satisfaction of driving has been weighing on me very heavy. Well yesterday was the day. I had been trying to get my Jeep rolling after sitting for 9 months. Yesterday she/he started. Upon asking my wife to come and move it so we could mow around the dead spot I said to myself WTF. I put it in gear and away I went. It just changes everything for me. Please excuse the pause in the intro I almost started balling. I in no way recommend an amputee on his 2nd trip out video himself, I in general will not even answer my phone in the car at all. But I digress today anyway.

By the way another huge change has been my weight so I no longer have a double chin. I shaved off my go-tee this morning. Talk about razor burn that skin has not seen light in 20+ years.

Good for you, Willyflew. Sounds like you’ve reached some huge milestones toward a new normal.

Those achievements don’t happen on their own, nor overnight, so kudos to you for the effort and determination.

Great comeback story, Willy. As someone who enjoys driving more than most (and has also had some not-so-minor health-based threats to normal life), I understand your psychological position. Welcome back to the road!

I admire your spirit, Willy. We all can learn from it. This forum is more than just graphic design.
