Daryl,

I think my prognosis is pretty good. It's been a tough injury and recovery, but my physical therapist says I should make a 100% recovery. I feel encouraged about it, as I see improvement every week.

The "liberals" complain about our medical system here in the States, but the fact is I was injured on Friday Dec 7. I had an MRI on the following Tuesday. My surgery was on Dec 31, only 24 days from the injury.

This is rather corny, but here's a photo I snapped in the mirror on Jan. 10, 2008.

I have come a long way since that day. I then could hardly push the shutter on the camera.

Hope you can get some relief.
