I've been in the hospital for the past 3 months [View all]

Two things were going on: I was in the Marion Indiana VA hospital for some inpatient therapy for my legs. As some here may know, I've been in a wheelchair for almost 2 years due to arthritis. So I've been learning how to walk again, taking 3 physical therapy sessions daily, taking a few steps at a time while hanging on to a walker, taking just a few more steps each day. When I had my final session on Wed. I walked 250 steps without stopping.

The other issue was my eyes- I never knew arthritis could get into your eyes and blind you until it happened to me. So I had eye surgery, and they implanted a plastic lens in my left eye. Now I can see again, although not perfectly. Once I get a contact lens fitted for my good eye I should see well enough to be able to drive again.

Fuck this "cripple" nonsense. I've merely been inconvenienced for the past couple years. That crap ends now.

I'm back.
