Yes, it was one year ago today that I fell at work and began the epic journey of recovery that still continues. Several people have asked how I plan to mark (celebrate just isn't the right word) the occasion.
So far I've mainly just been enjoying the day with lots of loud music and a little dancing around the house. Because I can! HALLELUJAH!!
I'm heading out for Slurpees with one of the boys in my youth group in a little while when he gets out of school. Other than that I am just glad that it is behind me, thankful for how far I've come and to all of the folks that have helped me get here.
About Me
- Chris
- Austin, Texas, United States
- I am a seminary student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. At first it was somewhat strange being back in school for the first time in 18 years, but I love what I am studying and have quite a different approach and attitude than I did as an undergraduate. Before starting graduate school I was the Youth Director at the First Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. I coordinated youth fellowship, Sunday school, summer mission trips, confirmation class and anything else that involved the 6th through 12th grade students. I was also the Facilities Manager as well but an accident changed that. In March of 2008 I fell at work and shattered my right knee. I had multiple surgeries and now my right leg isn't quite what it used to be. My knee only bends about 40-45 degrees and I can not stand or walk for extended lengths of time. It has a taken a bit of adjusting getting used to being partially disabled, but in the grand scheme of things it could have been much worse. I am now truly a member of "The Ministry of Silly Walks."

Happy Anniversary, here's hoping that on your 2nd one you can walk with out your Doctor House cane. You've come a long way and maybe it set things in motion that under different circumstances you may have put off for a while.
