Sunday, May 30


From the beginning I said I wanted to enjoy the first day in June on my porch, but I was hoping to get home a bit sooner, and with my discharge date of June 1 I met my goal. With little more than a day left at arbors, I must look back to a little less than a day after the accident. And the fact that I was still alive was amazing, through I wasn't looking good. Every time they touched me, I would braiby cardiar (my heart would slow down and stop), now I don't even wake up when they turn me at night. I have come a long way in six months, and can't imagine where I'll be in six more.I forgot to include my friend Ben as one of the primary workers on my house in the past few months. And again I thank everyone who has put any effort into my recovery, you've been great.

Hello everyone, another delayed post, sorry about that been kind of busy. I've been working on vent weaning, up to 11 hours off the vent more than half of that capped. Which means a small red cap over my trach, which allows me to breathe through my nose. And for the first time in six months I can smell myself, and man do I stink. I want to thank those who have been working on my house and those being; my father, Dan and Diane Zimmerman, Larry Moss, and anyone else who has volunteered their time and the efforts to get my house completed by Tuesday, inspection day. And if all fares well in the inspection, I will get to go home on Friday the 28th. I've been home twice now, and it looks great and the quietness is even better. And I thank Dave Farr for flying to Albuquerque and bringing my van back safely, now I can leave the arbors and get out and get some air. Thanks everyone at AEP Muskingum River plant for the support you have been through these tough times. Photos of the house will be coming soon once it's complete. Thank you.
