Went thru a tuff time the last year, thought i wasn't gonna make it a few times. Induced comma's are the bomb when #@%$#! happens. I amazingly ended up with flesh eating disease that attacked my one leg. It spread so fast was told many times might have to take the leg not the kind of thing you want to hear from your Dr. Lucky I have a great family who supported me during this time. Leg getting stronger and only two more skin grafts to go and be back to normal or as close as I'll get. Great year for snow here and me sitting back just drooling. My wife even put one of my kites on the wall in the hospital to cheers me up, sure lucked out when I married here.
