I have learned many a hard lesson throughout my life, most of the important ones are a result of some sort of pain or another. Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger, I cry bull on this theory because if it were true I would be superman by now.

But what I have learned is to take my days like a big meal, little bites one after another, baby steps you might say. I awake to the same problem, same pain, same thought every day. How will I make it through this day????

Steps..... and little ones....
If i can get from the bed to a hot shower I'll make it.....
If I can get dressed by myself, or with help, as long as im dressed ill make it.....
If i can get the kids to school i can make it......

This is the story of my days and my life, it's neither grand nor exciting, but I have come to realize that in it's own way it is heroic !
If I can make it to that next step no matter how much it hurts i can make it, i will make it and for my wife, my kids, my self i will always make it...

We are here for support, for friendship, and sometimes some of us just like to hear ourselves speak, in the sense that typing is talking i mean.

When i fall i get back up, when something dislocates i put it back in place and go on, when im bleeding i heal.....

I used to strive for success and strength, power was my vice. Now i sit here helpless in the fact that my mind and body no longer work together, pain trumps everything and nothing.

Between gritting my teeth through the pain, and taking my baby steps i have made it through another day. And each of you on here have as well, and i thank god every day that i can continue to not only take my baby steps to make it, but that as i look around i see you all taking your steps next to me......

Lean on me when you need it, ill lean on you when i need it and together we will all step into tomorrow together, I love you all and as always i am grateful for each of you.....Kris.......
