Get Up! Get Active! Get Involved! Get Healthy!

Get Up!
I can't!
Without the support of my lovely wife Cinda, I am not able as of yet, to get up from my knee machine that ensures constant movement for range of motion and my ice machine that’s on 24/7 to percent swelling. Both important factors in my rehab!

Get Active!
I actually got in trouble at the hospital for being overzealous in my activity. My one hour surgery turned into 3 hours due to the massive cleanup job my doctor had to do to fix the debris left over from the first two knee operations some 40 years ago. The price I have paid for the great game of football! I, in fact, set up a chin bar and used my stretch cord and attempted to push my limits. I have to stay active smarter and mind the doctor’s orders, but I did get out of the hospital one day early. I am on a fast road to recovery.

Get Involved!
I encourage all of you to stay involved in whatever makes your own world go around, whether it be family, friends, work, your faith... It is extremely important to prioritize the importance things in life.

Get Healthy!
Without your health you are nothing. We, too often, take our health for granted, as I have been reminded minute by minute through this ordeal. A special thanks to everyone that has expressed their support and encouragement. I can't thank you enough but I can try!

Get Up! Get Active! Get Involved! Get Healthy!
