It is great to be back. About 3 weeks ago I had a mishap in my electric wheelchair and ended up with a non exposed hematoma the size of a softball on my apputeed leg/ fractured femur and found another blood clot in that leg. Plus 3 broken ribs that were broken the first time in my auto accident.
Everytime I signed in my pain was to uncomfortable to want to stay signed in.
Thank God for my wife and mother in law for taking care of Opo.
Can get around a little now but can't walk on my prosthetic leg.
Thank you for TFO because the TV gets old after awhile.

My gosh, Ray. I had no idea you were going through this . . . then to have another "accident" in your chair? Wow! What luck!! I hear ya about the TV. Do you have cable? I do, and with all those hundreds of stations to choose from, there are still times when "there's nothing to watch on TV."

Yes cable and a fire stick with all the channels (HBO, STARZ etc.) But it gets old after awhile.

Here is the story of the accident.
I had Opo outside for the daily walk.I don't like to come up from behind to retrieve Opo when going somewhere that Opo shouldn't be. So I was maneuvering to go around to meet Opo on the side and was going to fast down a incline in the yard. The foot rest stuck in the ground and launched me out of my chair and first impact was on the tip of my amputated leg and second impact was my arm up against my chest and slammed into the ground.
Had to have the EMS to take me to the hospital.
So I learned my lesson SLOW DOWN

Glad you're back! Especially after all of that. Did Opo at least come over to you out of curiosity to check and see if you're okay? ;)

Opo started to and then went back to the mission to go to the neighbor's yard. Will be getting a fence in the near future. So hopefully that will keep Opo contained.
