Hi Everybody! Things are continuing to improve for me. The walker is gone, the arm is slowly loosening up. I have my appointment to get rid of the neck collar. I was pleasantly surprised to hear from my theapist at rehab that the weekly review of patients progress had the director shocked. He found it hard to believe I had progressed so far. Seems some people believe I should still be in a wheelchair. Not enough horsepower there, LOL! Still on track to try to make it back to work next month. I am optimistic, but there are no certainties. Thanks to everyone for all the cards, prayers & well wishes. Still keeps my spirits up to hear from everyone. And special thanks to all my friends at Plant Hatch & Southern Comp. You have al been great....TOM

First thing, I want to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! If you are with your family, I am thankful you can share the holiday. If you are still away from home, I hope you can share it with the extended family on the road, as I have a number of years.
This year I am happy to be alive & celebrating the holiday with my family here in Georgia. Today I was standing at the intersection where my motorcycle accident occurred and looked up the hill at the little church that overlooks that intersection. For some reason I saw that church a number of times during my recovery. I spoke with the lady that owns/works in the Center Hill store the accident occurred in front of and learned a number of things that occurred that day & since. And you could have knocked her over with a feather when she realized who I was. She also attends that little church. Seems a number of people were convinced I would not/could not survive. The warning speed limit there has now been dropped another 10mph to 35. Prayers were offered for my recovery at that church, along with the prayers of many others. Appears I had a lot of Angels.
I have been released from wearing my neck brace. I have been released from therapy for my leg & hand. I still have some damage to my rotator cuff that I am doing therapy for. Hopefully I will be realeased soon to return to work. My Right arm will never be the same, but the hand is useable, I am able to write, drive, and most of the normal daily things you do with it. Just can't get back my change in that hand, no palm up. LOL
I look forward to seeing everyone at the Southern Nuclear outages this coming year. If you are rolling down I-75 south of Atlanta, give me a shout! I may be home....
HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Tom
