BEEN A WHILE

[stump66]

HEY FOLKS ITS BEEN A BIT SINCE I WAS ON! 

You people have been the nicest, most giving,friendly,helpfull bunch of misfitts (like myself , the misfit pa) I have ever met. Most of you frequent flyers know my legg situation, 5+ YRS 7 DOCS 15+ surgeries in 4 states to no avail they just can't fix it.

Well on wednesday I am putting an end to my pain and anguish. I am scheduled to have my leg amputated below the knee. Yeah I know it sounds drastic but after this long and seeing the best docs in the world I have decided to move on with life. I am NOT looking for anyones pitty or saying poor me. This has been THE most trying times on my marrage as well as other faminly and my carrier. I lost the battle but I'm gonna win the war.  God and I have come closer then since I was an alterboy. 

All I am asking is PLEASE keep me in your prayers. I'm scared to death but I know its for the best in the long run. I'm not looking forward to waking up and looking down. Maybe this was a test or wake up call or  I don't know. I WILL be out on the trails and life will go on and I am not in control of the outcome, He is.

I even tried to donate my leg to a college for research  but thats like pulling teeth. I would think they would jump at the fact of getting something more then a cadaver.

You guy n gals ride safe tell the people you care about how you feel. My wife has been nothing short of a saint for putting up with me and my situation. 

I'm sure I'll get flamed by someone for posting this but and I apologize in advance, but y'all are like a second family so I thought I should share. Thanks for letting me vent.
TALK TO YA SOON

I was wondering last week where you were?  I thought things were better.

[Honda328i]

sport66, you are a strong person go through this as many years as you have.  No doubt your faith in God and character have been enlarged and many people's lives will be different because of you.  You are in our thoughts and prayers this week as you take this next turn.

I have attached this picture of my Uncle Rick and his son Jesse from this summer.  Rick has lived most of his life on a wooden leg but that has never stopped him from doing what he wanted in his life.  He has multiple ATV's, a motorcycle and manages a sizeable farm in Virginia.  Hope that encourages you in your journey.
