Thanks Gina & Rhys,
Your prayers & concerns are much appreciated. During all of this time, My good leg is taking a beating, have to keep a special eye out for that. Let Me assure you that all of this is a very humbling experience, hope it's God's plan that I can maneuver around again, certainly don't like any of this, everybody take a moment to meditate on how fortunate it is to walk around without difficulty and be real thankful. It's easier to feel bad for those confined to Wheel chairs or even worse, those poor Guys and Gals.
Thanks again, Samson.
Gina:
That I can walk around without assistance (for the time being because Lord knows what could happen to me tomorrow!) is at the forefront of my mind quite often. At the age of 42, my mother had a major stroke (she had a blood clot the size of the small grapefruit on the right side of her brain -- the screams that used to come from her still sadden me, and horrify me to this day if I meditate on it). She became comatose and when she woke, she was pretty much a vegetable and lived in a state run nursing home (in Maryland -- there was no a/c and she suffered many things not the least of which was her inability to get so much as a glass of water from the "nurses" and "doctors" who were there) for the rest of her life where she died. Her laying there in that bed for close to the last 7 years of her life, unable to escape or get up or walk and barely talk but being fully aware of all that was going on around her but being unable to do anything about it, is an image and a memory that has been engrained in my brain since I was 10 and will never leave my mind. I feel for you Samson. I pray for your full and complete recovery.

I can sympathise to a degree with you as I hurt my leg a few weeks ago and had to crawl on the floor for the first couple of days. When I could walk I found my other leg like you said was getting bit of a beating. It amazes me that we often take these things for granted I know I did as never hurt me leg before to this degree. Even in my work I have been finding it very frustrating as everything takes longer and of course is more painful. I too echo your comment below:

Still praying and thinking of you.
God bless
Rhys

Sorry She had to endure that horrible ordeal, it's an awful way to end one's Life, the only consolation left to this sad true story is You eventually seeing Her in the Resurrection of the Dead and any progress God deems thereafter. However, I wouldn't want that experience of what happened to Her & You on anyone.
Thanks for sharing, it helps put my mind in proper perspective, Samson.

Rhys, I guess you got a good taste of what I'm experiencing, so you understand & have recognition and this is good & beneficial that you shared this. It helps Me not to wallow in any type of self absorbing pity. Get Better soon and be cautious as to how you walk and maneuver, don't want you to experience any setbacks. Samson.
