Hey Zieg I was wondering how you was doing?

Fantastic, thanks for asking.  Walking sometimes gives me some troubles depending on the day but the right hand/arm for the most part has returned 100%

Update:  Progress still happening.  The discomfort in my left hip and left ankle hardly bother me and has been my limiting factor.  I am walking with a slight limp but barely noticeable unless I have overdone it for the day.  I tried a slight run the other day, was a mistake...  I am feeling great health wise and my blood pressure is well under control.  I am finding it easier to get up off the creeper and down to kneel when I work on stuff.  My muscle tone on my right knee is returning as the movement almost mirrors my good leg.  No problems at all with my right arm, writing is as good as it was and using tools are natural again.  Most of all the desire is returning to get after all the projects that seem to go no where.  My sons wreck has motivated me, I have to get the 85C20 buttoned up and back to my body man so he can finish it up.  I need the garage space to work on his Cavalier.

It has been 6 months since my last update.  Subtle improvements every day are noticed.  Getting up and down, rolling around on the creeper is no problem now.  Every once in a while my right hand won't do something I want it to but for the most part it is fine.  I worked all day yesterday in the garage unbolting, cutting, torching, rolling around on the creeper under my 84 C30 getting ready to take the utility bed off and convert it to a regular pick up truck.  The true test was how I would feel the next day and I passed with a gold star...

     Zieg, it is great to hear how we'll you are doing, I hope you continue to do better.

#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

Thank you for the update, Carl.  I've had attention on your recovery since you first told us.  I'm grateful for your continued progress!

That's what you go for man, little improvements everyday...  It's been years, but sometimes my arm still goes numb, just from sitting wrong (or right) on the armrest in the car/truck, but I move it, shake it off and go about my buisiness.  can be quite irritating sometimes, but nothing i can't handle.  sounds like you're improving quite well.  It'll only get better and better, so remember that... 

Good luck brother,
Kenny
