Basically a congenitally crooked spine, an active life style, individual and family life, a solid work history no different than most of us here reaching the time of life the rent comes due.
For me that means in the last 6 months, 3 surgeries, 9 fusions, a rib removed for access, hardware from pelvis to shoulders for straightening, and support.
The battle with a health system in its death thrall an exhausting barrier/chapter in itself. The system not the people.
Good support system of family and friends, very grateful to those here for keeping my mind entertained, and engaged. The ability to touch vicariously my chosen hobby has meant much.
I did manage an antelope this year. 2 friends literally hand carried me to Wyoming.
Lots of blessings included in process. I have summed the year up in the story of Those tearing the roof off the building to lower a man to Christ for healing. Being the man on the pallet is a special view.
I was in a place the other night where visualization of those praying for me was real. It works guys, and there is more to it than hallucination, mad men etc. A view worth the trip.
Rehab possible, hopefully that can happen today. It wasn't possible yesterday, so I'm improved day by day.
Thank You all.
Carl
