Thanks everyone.  I do remember people asking for updates when I got hurt and figured no better time than now. :wave:

I'm real slow at walking for now, but the pain's not nearly as unbearable as it once was.  The pain kept me out of therapy and trying to walk before.
I just would like to be able to jump in my car and go somewhere without having to dismantle my chair and drag it along. 
I'm hoping to be able to look at cars' engines and interiors, then get back in the chair next year at the shows.  I hated not being able to look at cars I hadn't seen before, one of the reasons I didn't go to many shows.
It's amazing, what got me started this year was working on my Charger.  I purposely parked my car so I had to walk the length of it to get to my MAC box.  I'd load up my pockets with tools and away I'd go.  Now that I think about it, it's my weighted down legs that made me have to try harder to walk that very well may have helped?  I know when I got to the other end my shorts were practically down to my knees. :o
 
I look forward to meeting everyone this summer. :yesnod:  Actually looking more forward to it than the coming holidays.  I can't help it if my priorities have taken some time off, ;). 

Now if I could just get someone over to mow my yard. :D  THANKS for the uplifting responses.  Mike.

Mike, that made my day a whole lot better! Hearing about you making it through this ordeal makes my problems (and everyone elses Im sure) seem a whole lot smaller. This is great news and just in time for Christmas! God bless and God speed! I look forward to shaking your hand at Chryslers at Carlisle 2006!

I hear you Mike  :ahum:
Kind of a bummer to go to a show and the cars are so tight the wheelchair will not fit between them  :-\
Hard to see the engine bay very well and forget the interior. Hey are you taking me to Carlisle  ;D never been.
