Went out for a few hours last night at Lake Yosemite (no not Yosemite NP). Had my camera...as usual...so I asked my wife to take a 'snapshot' of me standing. I've been 'walking' at home for about two months, but I finally got a picture. I haven't walked in almost 2 years, it was a nice change! Now I need to lose 30-40 lbs...   --------------------------- Central California Nature Photography Canon 5D 17-40 /4L 300 /4L IS 70-200 /4L 50 /1.8 1.4x TC Kenko Ext. Tubes Vivitar 2600-D |

The Reader's Digest version: Around 2004 I started having problems with my joints. The docs (Stanford University) thought it was Lyme. My shoulders improved, but my knees went south...fast. Got a right knee replacement in 2005. Had complications due to a low immune system...several infections. Had the joint removed (no hardware) in October 2006. Two days later I got a stroke. That's why I have trouble communicating at times (speaking/typing). Doctor's thought it would not be a good idea to try again...I agreed, so in 2008 I had my left knee straightened because it had fused at 90 degrees...permanently fused straight as the right leg. When I'm healed I should be able to walk again, but I can't bend either legs anymore. I'll walk like a Penguin! Hope this all makes sense...remember that stroke thing when I comment.... --------------------------- Central California Nature Photography Canon 5D 17-40 /4L 300 /4L IS 70-200 /4L 50 /1.8 1.4x TC Kenko Ext.

hey, walking like a penguin is better than no walking at all. Congrats. --------------------------- A picture is worth a thousand words.. unless it's a bad picture, then you get five thousand. http://www.damongallery.com http://www.dpenaphoto.com My 'edit photos' says no; but because there is no "sometimes" option. |
