I posted this little story on Facebook on March 6, 2014:
Today I had a very humbling experience. I had surgery on my right knee. In my case the anesthesiologist thought it was best to give me a spinal instead of a general anesthetic. For almost 5 hours I had absolutely no feeling in my lower body and could not even move my legs, toes etc, even though I desperately tried. I had no feeling from my chest down. And I definitely could not stand up or move around
I now know what it is like be like this and give my heart to all those that suffer from any illness that causes this. I feel for you and will always give you a helping hand if you wish and where I can.
This is a photo I took a couple guys I used to see on the Beach strip a couple of time a week.....when I was doing my daily walks. I never met them, but we nodded when we passed.
This photo is for them. I know how they must feel.
