To paraphrase Elton John, the blog is back!!


I enter day number 40 of my personal odyssey that is my recovery from quad repair surgery with mixed emotions. I have just completed a month of formal rehab work at a great clinic in the area. Two-a- day high school football practices have nothing on two-a-days of both occupational and physical therapy seven days a week. Every time I would start to feel sorry for myself or to gripe and moan about my condition, I would look over at a ninety something grandmother getting it done recovering from hip replacement surgery. It took me down a notch real quick. It also spoke to me the incredible power of the human spirit.

At this time I have to give a personal shout to my physical therapist, who has also been my punisher, psychologist as well as my cheerleader. While I still have a long way to go, I cannot deny the progress that I know I have made. I’m afraid that she has a friend for life for her efforts.

It was also a case of everyone being in the same boat (sort of speak) that brought down barriers of color. I have established relationships with people that on the face you would not think that we traveled in the same circles at all. We all just want to get better.

The next step in the process moves to home care. I now undergo continual home physical therapy that will evolve to outpatient work at the facility of my choice. While I don’t have the mixed emotions of the group Funkadelic, at the end of the day I just want a chance of normalcy.

I also have to mention that Saturday is the one year anniversary of my blog. I just have one thing to say about that: Wow!! Thanks to all who have read my blog to date and hope that you continue enjoying the BreezyG experience.

Enjoy the Friday Freeze jukebox and your holiday:
