    Docs advise

    Well im no doctor Nate but im amazed by your recovery, the fact you survived a hit like that (still think those GMC guys were behind it) is incredible, so to be talking bout being ready for work just solidifies your legendary status;)

    Well ;

    I was hit by a taxi , prolly some old POS brand 'F' product ~ had I been hit by an AD truck , you alls know the outcome would have been very different .

    When I was still in the hospital the Dr's told me I was amazingly resiliant , actually it was a different word but I'm still having language lapses , this sorely vexes me as you can well imagine . they were amazed at how fast i was healing up . I won't ever be well again , that's life .

    They'll prolly watch me like a hawk @ work so I may not be here as often as I'd like.... :(

    To-Day's The Big Day !

    Shortly I'll be off to see the City's Doctor and I am hoping he'll release me and I'll head on out to the shop and get back to work again :D

    Sadly this timing means I'll miss all the TV coverage of the new President being sworn in :(

    Inquiring minds want to know!

    OK Nate! What did the doctor say? Are you "good to go" or still sitting on the couch eating bon-bons;)?

    ' Bon-Bons ' ?!

    How many times do I have to tell you , her name is Shirley :D

    I had a good day ! the City Doctor examined me closely and asked many questions then released me back to full time On Duty status with MORE permanent restrictions than Kaiser did ! . that's good as they often try to work me like a draft horse , I don't mind hard work but I simply cannot do it anymore :(

    So , back to the shop where the guys were happy to see me , I think they thought I was gone for good .

    A quiet day trying to clear out some of the 900 E-Mails in my work 'puter .

    To-morrow I hope to get right back to it , I have a parts order for a mack Truck , see if I can make the computer work , they've changed the system during the time I've been recuperating .

    Ouch !

    I'm kinda sore from walking up and down the stairs , I guess my regular PT wasn't so hard afterall....

    Everyone says they're amazed that :

    A. I survived the hit

    B. I'm not paralyzed

    C: I'm back to work in only 3 - 1/2 months .

    Like I had a choice :rolleyes:

    All in all , it's good to be back in the shop ;)

    Good to hear you are back in action. If you missed the swearing in, there will be plenty of swearing at in the future.....there always is.
