The photo here was taken at the scene of the incident. That's me on the ground having my life extended by Dick DeBoer. For some reason I feel a real attachment to this particular photo. It's the one that was projected at the City Council meeting where Dick D was presents with his proclamation.
On other news, the neck brace comes off tomorrow. Then I can drive again for short distances. I'll take it for for short periods and probably sleep with it on for the next week or so just in case.
Each day I walk about 50 feet further. When I take a day off I walk the same distance as the day before but NEVER less. I'm feeling stronger every day. Today I needed a copy of something. I figured it was about as far to the drug store around the corner as I've been walking lately so off I went. It was a struggle but I made it. And the damned copy machine was out of order. Damnit!

Do you need that copy urgently? Maybe I could come down one day next week -- I still need to pick up those papers. Can it wait until then?

Who took the picture?

I bet it's kinda wierd to see that picture looking in at you, while you have memories of looking out and wondering what the hell happened?

It's good to read of your progress Uncle Dick, and we're happy to hear that the neck brace is coming off and you will be able to drive shortly. I'm in awe of the how far you have come in the past 3 months.

Keep truckin'.

Quack.
