Year anniversary of returning home

It was a year ago today that I returned home from physical rehab. Looking back I still don't know how I made it through the surgery and extended hospital stay. But at the time, it wasn't an option to not walk. It did not sink in that I was in a bad spot for several months. Sitting there in rehab I would have never thought that 2011 would be this crazy. But, I got to spend this month with family and friends, which makes me very greatful of all that I have and the people who love me and have done so much more than I would ever expect. Not to forget Linda and Kathleen for all they have done so far. Without them I would spent this holiday season in a wheelchair. As happy as I am, I don't forget where I was and how much that reality is always lurking over my shoulder. Most people don't have the mindset of could I be walking today and my leg gives out for good? But all in all I am in good spirirts and looking forward for a better year next year.
