As some of you know, I've been throwing a pity party because VA told me my hip was getting worse and there wasn't anything they could do. I've looked around and decided I'm being a wuss.
Walking is painful, but possible. There are others who aren't so lucky. My friends Ally and Billy have MD and don't have the freedom to move around as I do -- Billy has been unable to walk since he was 14 and Ally is raising a 3-year-old. My father is confined to a wheelchair and his mind wanders in and out.
Of all the things that could happen, I believe loosing my ability to think clearly would be the worst.
There's a song that I listen to occasionally that reminds me how good I actually have it.
Oh, I have bad days with a little pain
And I have good days without any rain
But when I look about
And I think these things all out
All of my good days, outnumber my bad days
I can't complain.
I've got a wife who loves me almost as much as I love her. I've got two boys I am proud to call my sons. I've got a wonderful place to live in a beautiful town and I'm surrounded by people who care about me and are always willing to lend a hand. My mind is still sharp and generally my life is good.
But most of all, I've got friends.
That's worth more to me than all the world.
I've been promising photos of my trip from
North Carolina: Here they are!

Hiya Dave,
You do know you can put a link up for your site, and that way you can bounce between the site and the blog? I know I must be quoting the bleeding obvious here, but that way you don't have to choose between one and the other.
I'll speak to you soon.
