"You look great!" "It's a miracle!" "Can't even tell you were ever hurt."
Ya baby, I've always looked great, it is a miracle... nooooo I'm not fully recovered!
Many nights (around 2 am), what I interpret to be shoulder and/or neck pain awakens me. Laying quietly in bed, if I concentrate and listen closely, I can hear the previous owner of the cadaver bones in my neck, whispering to the previous owner of the cadaver ligaments in my shoulder. Once I settle any disputes, I sometimes ponder peoples perspective of my progress.
Reality... clonus with rapid movement... stiffness when sedentary... chronic discomfort (no I'm not one of my chronic pain patients)... suppository each morning to facilitate defication... bladder capacity limited... overfilling bladder, spasm... spasm, distance too far... accident... upper body weak... arms with limited range of motion... WEIRD disathesias... Fatigue!!
No complaints, just thought the "rest of the story" might be of interest?

Ron - I was touched by this blog...I think that sometimes we are so happy at all the things that we see you doing, we forget that there are significant struggles, pains, and losses that you are experiencing. I cannot imagine how difficult this journey has been, but we love you immensely and want to share both in the ups and the downs. Much love! :)
