My good friend in repose: (pic)


Backstory: While in the Peace Corps in Africa, he fell on his sciatic (sp?) nerve. He spent the last 15 months bed-bound; he came to visit me last week for really his first time out of the house. He drove to CO from the West Coast. Quite a trip for him, really.
Anyhow, he's still in a ton of pain and will probably lose the foot. He gets about fifteen feet with the cane before he has to sit down, so he keeps this chair with him pretty much all the time. I sat in it, comfy as hell...
So what do I do? I take him four-wheeling. :)
He had a grand time. We stopped near the top of a pass for a little break. :thumbsup:

1. He will lose his foot due to sciatic pain? Oh man! *hugs and prayers*
Glad he is with you and having a lovely time. But how can he not in such a beautiful place?

:hug:
