God bless you and keep at it. Good luck.
Welcome back. Congratulations on having that strong sense of determination. I'm thankful that you are so blessed to even be here to tell us what you have been through and I hope that many more great blessings rain on you as we look forward to your future fun with photos!!!
I’m so glad you’re back in the fight. Looking forward to your future posts. You might even take pictures of your woodworking achievements
Wish you a speedy recovery and may you be pain free for the rest of you life. I was injured on the job and was classified as 100% disabled which cost me my work Pension. Had all the time in but since I could not work and needed a full more years before I could retire I am now collecting SSDI which turned into SSI and I am on MNsure state insurance so 100% of my is paid but I was forced to sell the house and move into a Senior living apartment. Really miss the house but when you have a hard time walking up and down the stairs we are starting to enjoy our new living arrangement. Just have to pay rent, unities, phone and food. One good thing is that we do not have to pay property taxes on the house and upkeep on the house. Our MNsure pays for our rides to the Dr, Dentist, Drug Store, Grocer Store. All I do is make a call and the next day our ride is here. No automobile and no insurance to worry about and out bus ride only cost is free insurance pays for it. Seems like we are doing better now since the accident that what i was doing when I was working but I still miss my job.
I would like to thank all my hedge hog family for all the positive words. I will be back!!!!

Congratulations on your comeback and your testimony on how to return to life. You are an example for all of us!
Welcome back. It is a long slow process coming back from a life altering accident. I had mine 40+ years ago. I tell myself, it is better than being dead... K.A.N.
I would like to thank all my hedge hog friends for all the positive words.

Hello my photography friends. Its been a very long time since I have been here. A lot has happened in the past to years. My wife and I have built our retirement home in Tennessee. We wanted to do this two years ago but something happened that would test my resolve and physical being. June 17th of 2022 I was in a very bad accident. I was hit by a dump truck while working. The truck was doing 55 mph when it hit me. threw me over the guard rails and more than 50 feet. As you can guess I had some very bad injuries. I was in the hospital for four months and countless physical therapy. Just finished my last therapy session. I am mobile with a walker or a cane. I have learned patients and other ways to accomplish task. I am going to start my photography training after we get settled in our retirement home. I couldnt move my legs for a long time In the accident I broke my left hip my left pelvis my right knee tore my left achillies and internal injuries. Life has been very challenging but i am no quitter. It's been a big fight. Now I will try to get back into my life that i enjoy. Photography and my wood shop. there will be learning curves but I will achieve. stay tuned my friends. And please be safe out there there are careless people out there.
