Metal Free
All the metal that is coming out and off is gone. I am glad for that. Of course I have permanent metal in my left hand and all in my mouth. I am starting the teeth process soon. I am letting my jaws heal more before I start. I have had an appointment with the eye sergeon. I am going to have eye surgery. I was hoping glasses were an option but she said they would be very thick and they might not correct my vision. My right eye is 10mm lower than the left and the mussels do not lift it correctly. That is why I have double vision. She thinks she can correct most of the problem. I will have to be put under general anesthesia, and will be in the hospital for a night. My left jaw and right wrist is still painful and stiff. I have read and been told that it will take up to a year to heal from those two things. The lack of feeling in my face is probably permanent. I wish it were better but I will take what comes and be glad to be alive and getting better. I am gaining more use of my hands. I am actually typing and I mean correctly using keys. I took typing my junior and senior years in high school. It does come in handy. I was a typist in the army. That kept me out of allot of harder jobs. I appreciate all who read this blog. Fell free to comment at any time. Larry

Congrats on the progress. I came over from Leslie's blog around the time they were in China and needing prayer. Your fall was near and dear to me because my brother has fallen off the roof before. Fortunately he wasn't very hurt but your fall hit home. I'm glad that you are still here and continuing to get better. One day at a time. God bless you.

Thanks be to God for the saving of you life and for the healing that is taking place!
My Daddy(my HEART) died in June and I have been trying to help my Mother with all of the things that you have to take care of after a death. I was feeling overwhelmed by the magnitude and then my sweet daughter said to me, "Mommy, how do you eat an elephant?"
I said,"HOW?"
She said, "One bite at a time!"
That little bit of humor along with my faith has helped me deal with Daddy's death. I thought maybe this little bit of humor might help you also.
God Bless you and your precious family,
Ellen GA
