With
Damage Mostly Healed, We're back
After the July 26th wreck where a guy in a Honda
SUV tried to turn the Ace Cub Reporter into chopped burger, we're trying to get back on task.
It has been a long and tough 8 weeks. With the
metal staples removed, most of the road rash gone, the rib
healed, the ripped shoulder / tendons about half way back to
decent, and the leg cast coming off this Friday, the only thing
lift are a few more therapy sessions and a trip or two to the
neck surgeon down in Charleston.
Of all that rotten stuff, the hardest part was the
brain fog. For several weeks the brain just didn't work right.
When trying to remember things and type at the same time, it
didn't work. Today we're close to being out of that phase of
recovery. We should be back to our customary misspelled words
and messy composing this week.
Healing is a tough thing but so is watching the Boob Tube
for hours and hours. Between those crooked carrot, bra, and
those new wittle pills that provide an instant boner for 90 year
old men, the Mel Gibson look alike turned off commercial TV
after just a few days. Instead came the shows that are without
interruptions like Gunsmoke. We watched a full 10 seasons of
Matt winning every battle and without one advertisement
interruption. We noticed: during one episode, he was shot three
times but by the time he got back to the Long Branch Saloon, his
shirt was repaired and he could hold a tall beer without a
problem; not one horse was killed in the cross fire; and, all
the young pretty women managed to take a bullet in the chest (or
back) within 20 minutes of the show. Man, those were the days.
Thanks again for the many emails, tele calls, and cards.
You are appreciated. For our regular readers, thanks for the
patience
