Steve, great to hear that you just keep doing better. After about a quarter century of driving the box type ambulances with no side or rear visibility I can attest that you can set a vehicle up so that it can be driven strictly with mirrors. I am so used to this that when I buy a new vehicle I bring the stick on blind spot mirrors with me when I go to pick it up (maybe Santa will leave some in your stocking!). Setting and maintaining proper mirror adjustment to eliminate blind spots is critical. Have a great Christmas.

Steve,
Tell that body of yours that it's doing a good job. Have a merry Christmas.

Both you characters please remember to be extremely cautious during this winter to avoid falls... good shoes, short steps, use handrails, and assume everything is covered in ice (or soap in the bath/shower) nothing is more heartbreaking that being sent back to the starting line, or worse due to a fall during recovery.   

Joe - truer words couldn't be said. I can't even imagine doing a restart on this one. I had intentions of being able to run the snowblower this winter, but I think, after your words of wisdom, I am going to take the conservative approach and let my more then generous neighbor handle the job this winter.

Moj - glad to hear your recovering as well. Crazy what the rehab plan is for knees and hips these days - 4 weeks and your logging serious miles on the treadmill. Hope it is pain free!

Geez, I guess and update is in order. I got the brace off in late April. 8 months. Seems like a long time but the reality is it went fast.

Doc said, time to put the broken neck behind me, but to live cautiously. I think I am pretty much back to as much as normal as I am going to be. Still get sore, those muscles are still pretty weak, but no "structural pain". I have had some of the mobility return to my neck, but it is still pretty limited.

Enjoying the girls soccer seasons, and looking forward to getting in the boat. Can't wait to see everyone at Green Lake, drink a few beers, pass along some much deserved hugs and share some stories.

Thanks one last time for all the support! Hope everyone is having a GREAT spring. See you all soon!!!

Fantastic Steve!
