Back to life.!!!

Strange how things work out sometimes.
Ive been recovering from a spinal injury for 4 years now.
I went thru all the stages of recovery and emotion .
Shock, depression,anger , etc.

Last fall I was estatic at the realization that I was getting more mobility and control of my legs.

I am continuing to heal and am improving each day .

Strange how an injury can effect you.I have always been a music lover and it has always been an important factor in my life.After the injury I lost all interest in music , I just sat and listened to whatever old tune was on the radio.I had no desire to hear new tunes or discover new sound.
Years passed.
Just rescently My ears started to wake up .
For some reason it was Dave Mathews band that got my attention.I stared to crave the new sound as I have not bought any of the CD's.

Im finding I have more energy at my job.
Giving is the single most important aspect to teaching and Im getting the extra giving it takes ,,,once again.
My attitude has improved and my outlook is positive.
I turned 47 last Mon. and Im ready for 47 more ....

Sorry to bore you all with my private triumph but each day I wake and want to scream ,,,,, Back to life !!!!!!

You aren't boring anyone. Scream as loud as you want.

Been there myself and know the feeling. Keeping a strong positive attitude is tough. Glad to hear things are getting better.

As you may know from some of my replys to your other post.........I know where your comming from. I am well over the "hump" and feel that I'm at about 80% of the "old Ken"

If I need a kick in the (you know where) I just think back to "that" day, and look at where I am at "today"

Good luck to you, and your improvements, everyday.....
