Look who’s driving!

That’s right, kids! I’m back in the driver seat!
I met with the surgeon yesterday; he was very pleased with my progress and gave me the OK to start driving again. I am thrilled to have my independence back, but most importantly, to be on the road to a full recovery. As a bonus,Bill now can enjoy a well-deserved break from being my chauffeur!
It’s a great relief to see how improved I am since just last week, but I need to remember, I am still rehabilitating. Another follow-up with the surgeon is scheduled for six weeks from now and I will continue with physical therapy until then.
This is a huge step for me! Thank you, my WordPress family, for your encouragement and very good wishes all these months.
Love from Nancy

My husband had to be my chauffeur back in January when I was in a neck brace after having fractured my skull and my spine. It was only a few weeks, but seemed much longer. When I was finally able to drive again I was halfway afraid that I had forgotten how!

Oh, Blue! I had no idea you had injured yourself so badly! I am so sorry to hear that; it must have been a horrible time for you. It’s great to know you are feeling better and able to drive again. When I sat behind the wheel this morning, my husband asked me if I was nervous about driving. I said “No way! If anyone should be nervous, it’s the other drivers!” 😂 Thanks for your great comments. Here’s to our very good health, my friend! ❤️

Stay well, keep improving, but don’t overdo it my dear friend … oh, some of the lyrics to this outstanding song …
“A plunge, a dive
I gamble fate
Abandon control, obey gravity
From here, earth’s claw cannot over bare
I hear nothing, dead silence I grasp as comfort
I pilot limbs as if they were wings
Carve through the clouds
Plummet to the below
I pilot limbs
I gamble fate”
