Life can be very hard at times, this is something that I believe everyone has discovered from time to time. I know it has been that way for my life from time to time.
However there times that life just shocks the hell out me. How can a person basically give up on fighting life and just quit fighting. Then within weeks of that decision, my life just changed, VA finally approved my knee replacements, I started talking to a woman that has completely changed me. When we first started talking it was just casual comments on pictures, a few brief emails, hone calls, video chats and then finally the moment of truth, an actual meeting! Things went great, and have continued that way. I have been happier than I have been since my injury in Antarctica right before Christmas in 2003. That injury ended a 35 year career that I really loved. Now, I smile again, I laugh at things, I look forward to each new day I look forward to what life could bring to me in my future, I look forward to talking to her. I still have problems, that is life, however a lot of my pain went away with the replacement of my left knee, my right knee is scheduled to be replaced later in July.
Life is much better, each day seems better. I can smile again all because of a simple twist of life.
