Sleep

Many of you know I've had some sleep problems for years. But since all this happened It's been hard to get any real sleep. I'm not used to sleeping on my back and I've had to for weeks. The good news is my chest is healing and I can almost turn on my side. (You don't know how great that feels)
That's what recovery has been like. Alot of healing and work to get back something I'd taken for granted. And there were so many things I took for granted. A harsh way to learn but I consider that a plus in the entire situation.
A great second chance was given to me and it is impossible to ignore. I draw alot of strength from that. Many of the things in my life that have changed, were supposed to. Coming out on the other side of this has shown me more about about myself than I ever knew.
Thanks again to EVERYBODY that's been helping out. So many of you. I feel I'm getting a little stronger everyday and will be able to start seeing some of you.
Many of you ask what you can do to help me out, and I appreciate that. But honestly It's Paulette, Tom (who let me recover at their place.)and especially My wife D that I want helped. They been tirelessly tending to me and I want them stress free and comfortable. Like the other day, My friend Brynn (Massage therapist/healer/good egg came down and worked on D's stress points and made a HUGE difference for her. So if you can think of anything nice to do for them I'd appreciate it. Helping them would be helping me.
It's 5:22am and I'm wide awake. (This never seems to post the right time for some reason) So I think I'll get up and try some leg training. I'll post again soon. Thanks everybody!
