Great to see you post an update.
Have thought about you several times. Wondered if you ever made the move to Florida.
Am glad to hear that things are going forward with everything you have endured. My best goes to your wife also, hard to find the type of strenght in people that she has.
Hope to see more of your posting and hear better improvments.
Are you able to be up and around? Coming out to the Chicago show?
Send me a PM with your number, I would like to stop buy and buy you and the wife a drink, if that is allowed,
Hugh

Great news. Sometimes, to quote the Outlaw Josie Wales, "sometimes you just got to get 'mad dog' mean".
That's how I got over a shattered shoulder. I broke the ball off the end of the bone and into four pieces, and the socket into three pieces, and fragments. They didn't know if they could save it until they went in. I saw the artificial shoulder they might have used. They did a new procedure on me, pioneered by the NFL. They put it all back together, drilled over fifteenhundred holes and tied it back together. They warned me I might never be able to touch my face with my left hand again. They were wrong. Now, function wise, it's hard to realize it was ever shattered. Total time in rehab was about four years. That's how I did it. I got "mad dog mean".
