The forecast calls for SHOWERS

2_24_a
Today marked the end of my sitting restrictions from my bed-sore surgery, meaning I can sit up as long as I want or can handle at a time now. It also means I can take a shower, so I had my first shower in almost four months this morning. Needless to say, I was a bit late for breakfast. Debbie, my friend John (visiting from Canada) and I went for a short tour in the wheelchair for my "wheelchair mobility" hour, and I managed to make it over to the hospital proper and back without help - that's been one of my goals for the last week or so, and I'm glad I could do it.

  1. Awesome! So much progress in one week! And it looks like you got a new chair finally. I bet that made the tour a little easier.

  4. Great to see you looking so great -- though I miss the Clint Eastwood squit, maybe work on that. Just spend some time around Mikolas and I'm sure it will come back pretty quickly.

    I really liked amyk's comments asking where the wheelie bars are. I was already wondering how long before the stop watch comes out and you're going for lap times.

    Let me know when traction becomes and issue and I'll keep a lookout for some stickie qualifying tires.

    All the Best,
    Lance

  5. The dangerous part is going to come when Andrew gets around to having a 125 fitted to the wheelchair and combines that with he stopwatch to produce a new sport.

    WheelchairGP being the ultimate goal at 800cc having to work your way through 250 and SuperChair first.

    It all seems like madness, but he's done it once already.
