Hey Guys,
I went to see Vermillion today. I had a few questions and they answered all of them. He didn't see any reason why I couldn't go back to PT. So everything is set and I have to be back at my old stompin' grounds at 8 in the morning. He also said that he didn't think I could do any damage that we have previously fixed.
I am pretty excited because I know now we are on the homestretch. In a couple of months I will be back to where I was and we can get on with our lives. Just wanted to give you guys an update. Talk Later.

THE WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Guys,
I know I promised a few blogs this week, but I ended up going to Elba for a few days. Hopefully after my visit with the man on Tuesday I'll be back to rehab and back on my way. Excuses, excuses, excuses, I know.
Anyway here's one of the blogs:
Most of you all know our preacher at the Methodist church in Elba, Rev. Stanley Carter and his wife Mrs. Nancy. Well for those of you that don't I need to tell you a little about them. I guess as soon as a couple of hours after my accident he sent an email/prayer request telling about it and that my leg was broken pretty bad. I found all of this when I was going through the many cards and other things I got while I was a resident at South. Over the next few days he helped get the word out that it was a little worse than they first thought and I might need a few more prayers.
Mom later told me that they both were there (at the least) weekly and he always came back for a prayer with me. I have a lump in my throat as I type this. As I woke up and figured out what was going on, I always had notes, cards, or words of inspiration from them. They also kept me up-to-date on news from Elba and the church. On a few days that things weren't going well, whenever Mom talked to them, if they were driving they would pull over and say a quick prayer. It is touching when you hear a story like that so you can imagine what it feels like when the story is about you.
I would guess they made somewhere around 40 trips to Montgomery during my 119 days in the hospital. That involved more than a few hours and dollars while gas was pushing 4 bucks a gallon. Although I will never be able to thank them enough, I do hope this blog let's them know what they mean to our family. I really do not know how this would have turned out with out their support. Thank you both so much.

Still Being Pretty Lazy
Hey Guys,
Hope everybody had a great weekend. We went to the biscuits game Saturday night and had a great time. They won big and there were fireworks after the game over the river. For those around Montgomery that haven't been its a great bargain.
One thing I didn't mention last week, at the country club Friday night I got to spend a lot of time with Mike and Juli Parrish, and Bryan and Anita Grimes. These are some of my favorite people and I don't get to see them that much anymore, It was great catching up folks I Love you all and thanks for the meal Shine.
Later on today and the rest of the week I am going to try to get out several blogs that I have been needing to do.
I hope all is well.

Tuesday
Hey Guys,
Sorry for the lack of post last week. I went to Elba on Thursday, so I wasn't around. There was a tournament at the club that I want to see. It was nice seeing a bunch of folks I don't get to see that often. I'm still just kind of hanging around most days. I can now do everything by myself so that makes me feel better.
Thursday morning before I left, Mom and I had some running around to do and we stop by HealthSouth. It was great seeing two of my therapist. The other one misses work so much I don't know why they even keep her. I know missing me will make you think about skipping next time, Ms. Harris. It was nice and I'm actually ready to go back. See you guys soon.
Talk to you later,

Late Monday
Hey Everybody,
I hope everyone is doing well. We had a great trip to Elba. We spent a lot of time with DeAnn's family which is not something we do on summer holidays. We are normally at the beach. Also, I got to go to Ham Church. It was better than normal because Mary and Elizabeth were there with all the kids.
It was also great to hear from all my therapist from HealthSouth. I will be by there this week to see you and talk about me coming back. It is amazing to think about how going over to Narrow Lane was just part of my day and the folks at HealthSouth became family just like everyone at "The South".
I hate we missed all the debauchery at the beach, but it was great being in Elba. I'm know really looking forward to Dad's birthday bash it's surely to be one to remember. I gotta go to bed.

Rest and Fun
Hey Everybody,
I know most of you won't read this until Monday so I hope you all had a happy 4th of July weekend. DeAnn and I are in Elba hanging with the Smiths'. I really don't have any breaking news but I needed to post because Monday was the last one. I'm still getting stronger, but still pretty sore. Be safe.
