Two updates for you all.......
DetMatt / Matt sent me the list of the contributors for this tablet, so I can let everyone know what is going on --- and speak to the outside world via forums / sites, etc....
So first update :
In the order of DetMatt / Matt's list, thank you to the twenty
(20) contributors :
1) Detmatt / Matt
2) Delta V / Wayne
3) Ripinator / Carroll
4) Cuda Hunter / Josh
5) Metal Maniac AZ / Craig
6) 3175375 / Steve
7) Marpar / Mario
8) Old War Horse 300 / Mika
9) 75Land Yacht / John
10) Kiwi GTX / Roger
11) Ross Wooldridge (EH?)
12) 300 L / Joerg (?)
13) Locumob / Scott (7 - 1 VIKINGS --- SKOL !!!)
14) Boydsdodge / Jackson
15) TX DON / Don
16) Charles 374 / Charles
17) Fury Nut 65 / Mike
18) Patches66Fury / Josh ( SKOL !!! )
19) Marko / Mark
20) Zymurgy / Mike
Thank you Twenty (20) MEN, Especially , and all the other 1000s of well wishers... It makes recovery, rehabilitation, and therapy easier to know so many people care !!!
Of course, 500,000 guys Love me --- and 2 women
(Diane -- Ralph's fiancée, and Laura --- Jim's wife !!!)
Oh well !!! It is far better than No Love at all !!!
Update number two :
I haven't taken my first official step, yet... I am walking in the walker --- but not left, right, left, right, left --- like it is supposed to be.... Basically, I can't get ahead with the second foot --- I bring it to level and proceed....
I keep setting new highs every day on the various machines that I work on every day --- more distance, faster times, more repetitions, more weight, etc., etc....
So, I may not be as strong as a 23 - year old when this is said and done, but I suppose I will happily settle for the equivalent of a 40 year old (with 23 year old BICEPS !!!)
Thanx for all your support... May GOD Bless you all....
A blessed Veterans Day today for all those eligible, and in the immortal words of Lee Greenwood,
God Bless the U.S.A. (And Canada and Australia...)....
Yours, Craig .....

I called him @mobileparts on Wednesday and left him a message and he did call me back the same day and left me a message. I have not taken the time to call him back but his message was positive. He’s still unable to walk on his own but he’s working at it and getting stronger.

Update --- Thanksgiving in an extended health care facility / nursing home is --- N O T --- the place to be .....
Yes, we did have Turkey as our lunch, but a) store bought package of turkey, not the real thing.... And b) not nearly enough... I am used to making the toilet beg for forgiveness the following day --- that is what men are supposed to do --- and no need for that...
And, the small piece of Pumpkin Pie, was easily the worst that I had ever had.... BOO ......
But, I am not here for the food.... And, the Football was pretty good, especially my VIKINGS beating the Patriots that night to rise to
9 - 2 !!!
Of course, the N F C Final Four, will be
1) Eagles vs. the 5) Cowboys &
2) Vikings vs. the 3) 49ers....
At that point, we'll see who can win 2 games to face MVP Pat Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Kansas City Chiefs....
So, on to why I am here....
I have Physical Therapy 5 days a week --- Monday through Friday --- they are closed on the weekends, but I am not --- I am working 7 days a week....
In this facility's gym, I am placed on all the machines --- the hand and arm cycle machine, the ski machines , one for legs and the other for arms and legs, the weight lifting machine for arms, shoulders, biceps, and triceps, and walking inside the parallel bars and in the walker (as the wheelchair is brought behind me, God forbid, I would have to go down... So far, no incidents.... Whew !!!)
In the room, mornings, evenings, and weekends (my scheduled P.T. is 1 P.M. to 4 P.M.) I am doing the necessary leg lifts --- especially on the left leg --- straight up and out, in a marching formation up and down, and side to side....
When I got here, I could do ZERO, ZERO, and ZERO.......
I am now at about 8 " , 12 " , and 12 ".... A long way to go to get to where you guys are (try it), but I am not willing to be a vegetable....
Heck, it has almost been 3 months now, because if I do not hear from my lawyer today, I will be calling him tomorrow morning with the "friendly reminder" phone call Wednesday morning, because the deadline to file the " Cause to show Claim " to let the county and Police Department know that they are being sued is Friday, December 2nd... And we *** CAN'T *** miss that deadline....
Doing my " hand scrunchies " all day long --- this little thing you squeeze to strengthen the hands, wrists, and biceps --- and while I work the left hand twice as hard as the right, I've got a little
"Something Something" poppin' up on the right bicep !!!
When I get done with all this hard work, I am going to be able to flex and be able to tell the ladies " This way to the beach !!! "
Matt / DetMatt --- when you read this, can you do your magic to get this on to the "B" bodies site, also ?? Thank You .... I will talk to you soon.....
Everyone else, Thank You for your support, well wishes, Prayers, and more... It truly assists the process... God Bless us all ..... Especially during this upcoming Holiday Season....
(I *** AM *** going to get a Pumpkin Pie smuggled in here !!!!)

Fast Update ---
Spoke to my lawyer yesterday as he had told me to call Wednesday morning, if I had not heard from him by then...
(Not entirely happy that I had to be the one to reach out --- as I have a full slate every day -- and would have liked him to call ......)
Heck, laundry lost all my clothes --- and I have made 4 unreturned message / calls to Kim --- because I have one last pair of shorts and one shirt .... I NEED annoying crap like that in my life ?!?!?
Anyway, my lawyer is coming up here today --- and we'll find out what he needs, what he has done, and how ready he is to file this tomorrow --- since tomorrow, Friday, December 2nd is the deadline to file.....

Rest unless a force is applied to it!

FuryGT --- " Positive Attitude " --- yes, sir.....
They bleepin' LOVE me in here, some have already indicated to me that I am their favorite patient ever !!!
And, yesterday, in P.T., I was on a machine for my arms and shoulders, and the patient next to me said, " wow, that's a lot of weight !!! "
I replied, " Yup, I am not here to play, I am here to work !!!"
I was on the arm cycle machine today, and reached my goals... Crossed the 15 mile mark in 14:46 and the 20 mile mark in 19:49.... I have been eyeing those numbers (15 in 15 and 20 in 20)for these two months since I got here..... I actually broke down in tears of joy.... And then set a new personal best on the ski machine.... Early P.T. today, because my regular was out, and the substitute needed me there in the morning.....
Thanks for all of your interest and prayers, Craig.....

I am shedding a tear of joy for you too Craig. Keep it up!
If your attorney screws this up you have a legitimate malpractice claim against him. I sure hope that he is experienced in civil rights claims as there might be more money in that aspect of your claim than in your injury claim since you can make a claim for punitive damages on the civil rights claim. When it comes time to file a lawsuit, make sure that it is filed in Federal Court. FYI, in the past I was a claims manager for these types of claims but I did not handle NY claims.

FuryGT --- I pray he is the man, because it is too late for anyone else... He initially let me know he has won these cases before, and all the ambulance chasers bowed out quickly, admitting this type of case was way beyond their level of capability....
Ross (Eh?) --- I will call you sometime in the next little bit.....
DetMatt --- I will call you sometime in the next little bit.....
I am lying down in bed for half an hour presently --- because your
(Mine, anyway !!!) tushy can't sit in a wheelchair for 6 hours straight..... Need a short break before the lawyer gets here at
3:00 P.M.....
Yours, Craig.....
