Metal Man, Keep that positive attitude and things will get better. I'll keep you in my prayers. Take care.

thanks guys nice to hear things i did are still useful . was lookin at the forms at my old theads , trying to remember building them
and the fixes . kinda a find the memory thing as some of it is gone . its funky and frustrating try and recall something and its gone.
they tell me i have been doing well and recovering alot , but its the little things i cant do that get to me . its hard not being home and
not having things to work on make for long days .
and there isnt muck to do in fargo in the winter ill tell ya . ya know its bad when even the doc says its a depressing town he grew up here
.

so its find some thing to fill the time till spring when i can go back home and maybe get caught up on things . and see my friends
at the shop and hear the stories .

miss making parts was fun to see what you guys would send me to make . and if i could make it .

i know i was building a tank and some one sent me a fill neck never got it done . will send the tank back when i get time to dig for it
as im thinking i wont be able to finish it .

random thoughts that come up , another thing that is takeing some getting ues to . cant remember yesterday but 20 years ago some of
its there .

Recovery will take some time!! One step at a time!! Healing from something like what you went through is a process and you will percevere!! Seems your spirits are good at this trying time and that is a great testement to the person you are and you will come out stronger!! Hang in there my friend and stick with the rehabilitation regement cause some things they will have you do may seem silly but it is for your greater good!! :thumbsup:

Good to see you back posting Rob, I missed you here and had wondered if you were OK. Do what the docs tell ya, they are the experts.

 

[metal man]

ya know that hard part where ya find out what dont work wright anymore .
still having trouble with my leg it moves but dam its sore . told the doc and he wasnt too concerned i dont know .
got my driver license back in November so i could drive if i have a car , but they said to do back roads at home :doah:

should be hearing from the job training thing some time . so have some $$$$ and some thing to do .
and see what i can still do .

most things seem to be hurry up and weight , making for along winter .

 

[jdogg]

So good to hear from you Robert! The education and stellar fabrication skills you bring to this forum have been missed by all. (As the recipient of numerous parts you have made for my son and I, I speak from experience) Hearing that you are starting to build again is very good news indeed!
