My Motorcycle Injuries

It is said that time marches on. It feels as though it actually runs along as I grow older. A week seems like a day, and I feel as though things are constantly rushing forward. I continue to experience changes within my body, but at this stage those changes are all pretty much negative. I feel more pain because of the old injuries from the motortcycle accident, more aging because of calenders, and seemingly less time to keep up with a great deal of things in life. My leg and my hips are hurting more as time progresses, and my hand gets worse despite the fact that an orthopedic hand specialist and a neurologist have both told me that there's nothing seriously wrong and that nothing can actually be fixed. I function pretty well physically with everything that I do, but I feel "uncomfortable" all of the time. I have discovered recently that the two orthopedic surgeons that I had considered for any future surgery are now both irrelevent to my cause. One of them left his forme...

  Time is a weird thing. It defines our lives in so many ways, yet it can only carry as much significance as we allow within our hearts and minds.  The past several weeks have been both demanding and fleeting.

The thing is that time is moving quickly and it continues to leave the past even further back. This accident of mine continues to effect my body in everchanging negative ways as life progresses, but time also continues to move me further away from a lot...

Perhaps the following statement falls under the TMI category...but I always view time in blocks. It's usually divided by either three or four months. I do this with my personal budget, with personal goals, and with the way in which I view a year. I never see it as, let's say 2021, but rather as January through April. Because of this, I have entered into a time slot now that involves the upcoming holiday season along with a winding down of the year itself. These time periods alter the way in which I see things and deal with my day to day patterns. It's probably a little weird, but if you go ahead and search throughout this blog beyond this one entry you'll discover that I'm a cross between freak and dork. But hey, at least I've still got my good looks. I was offered some time off yesterday by my sister-in-law to get some surgical work done on my body. I take care of her daughter throughout the workweek. I declined her offer because the though of surgery just does...
