“Believe you can and you’re halfway there” – Theodore Roosevelt
I’m soooooo excited!
The 2014 NFL season is upon us, the 49ers have a new stadium, and I have a TV in my room. Life is good.
I went up to San Francisco last week to meet with Dr. Chou my spinal surgeon and while there had the opportunity to have lunch with the nurses that took care of me in the ICU (they are a patient and caring group). Everyone at UCSF was ASTONISHED by my progress. In retrospect I have come a long way from the ICU in Bangkok when the spinal doctors told me I would never regain any function. I also stopped by and visited Dr. Crew and the team at Valley Medical Center where I did my acute rehab last Friday to say hello. They were very impressed with my progress as well and appreciated me stopping in.
I had a great week at SCI-Fit which has been a huge help in my recovery. I started weight training this week and in a few short months I should be looking like the Governator in his glory days. They have really been working with me on my steps and maintaining proper form. It is difficult work since the feeling is still not there but I am making progress. I start American River College this week and am taking an adaptive PE class for weights as well. Back on a college campus looking as good as I do I should have no problem with the ladies.
My social calendar has been full as well as my PT calendar. Being active and social is a huge benefit for me. I went to a fund raiser (thank you to Dan Cronin and Brenna for organizing) up at Ridge Winery with my caregiver Karen. I was able to see a lot of my Bay Area friends that I have not seen in a long time. It was a great turn out and a big thank you to all of you that attended and donate raffle prizes. I am looking forward to this month’s fundraiser in Sacramento.
I also was fortunate enough to attend the weeding of my friends Kyle and Carolyn over the weekend in Sacramento. Congratulations to the two of them. I had a lot of fun and can do some amazing donuts on the dance floor.
All-in-all things are going well. Lindsy has been very hospitable and I love being around Trapper. Thank you to everyone for their ongoing love and support.
