So - phoned the guys from Martin yesterday on some new "Green Paint". They asked me when I was coming to pick up my Snowcheck sled? Little bit of a surprise to me, since I didn't think I had ordered one and didn't pay them for it. (Thought last spring I would see how the back did over the summer and just ride the XRS one more year). They ordered it without a deposit. I guess I must have said to order it!
Wife is mad - I did promise I wouldn't buy a new one last spring. No loving last night when I told her.
Life is pretty damn good. Last year at this time I had doctors telling me that it was 50/50 if I would ever walk normally again, and my left leg was basically paralyzed after a blown disk. I had sold trailer, deck and sleds and just kept a couple of older ones for me and my older daughter. Last spring - it was tough going out with may daughter for more than 2 hrs on the sled, but I was getting better. Was looking at a 600 E-Tech to bit little easier to ride
A year later - I have been in the gym like a demon, and my leg and back are 70%. (plus actually put on a chest - wife likes it!) Docs are amazed at my recovery - have never seen anything like it. I took it real easy this summer - no barefooting and only rode horses in the fall. Last two weeks I can finally get out bed feeling normal in the morning. I think I finally turned the corner - but still have another year until I am 100%.
This must be God's little way of telling me I can treat myself and go have some fun! I can hardly wait - new Summit 600 E-Tech 154". Gonna have some fun out at Hunter's Range this winter! If my biggest problem is a mad wife for a couple of days - I can live with that.
