Hope

Im improving and getting better control of my body. Not on my own. God now is very important to me. We all, have something in common. We all have a spirit. What does that mean? God has a plan. Human life is part of that plan. God offers a great love. Please understand human life is a test. God is real please simplify your life. We are all so different. We all have the same master. God is the master. Think how amazing the human body is. Obviously not evolution. Obvious in my eyes. Life, has many obstacles. God knows, this life can be challenging. Know, God will assist you. If not now in the eternities. God is the most loving, of all. Simplify your belief. # 1, God is your master. During life we have the freedom to choose. How beautiful that is. God is not forcefull. Love more in your heart. Jason

What is everyone out there up to?

Dear all,

Its been almost 2 1/2 years since my accident. I have come so far and this wonderful blog my loving sister started in my behalf has been so far all about "me".. I would love hearing about how all of you are doing who might still be reading this. At the local, jc im taking classes. Class #1, about people, who want to improve, thier learning skills. Since, ive been recovering for 2-1/2 years, the class is benificial. My recovery, has truly been a amazing, experience. Im not at the, finish line, but im making good, progress. Be safe, live strong. Ttyl

howdy

Howdy, boy that word, makes me chuckle. Im recently, a step up, on my recovery ladder. Basically more independent. You know what is wonderful? Im able to see myself walking. My class at the local jc is wonderful. Basically all my classmates want to better themselves. Everyone is different however we have a common goal. My heart goes out to my fellow classmates. Progress seems slow, but never will I quit. Where your going is improvement. Boy the new me is ready for bed. Remember sleep is crucial. Keep striving for improvement!

Back to School!

Jay is back at school at MPC and is doing great. He started his PE class back up and today got a 100% on his test about the brain! His class is "Interesting" as my mom would call it. It is a class for people that have had Brain injuries or some sort of disability. From people being hurt in war, accidents, etc, Jason is not mainstreamed yet, but hopefully will be able to by taking these classes. It is a good "back to college intro" for Jason and as his brain continues to recover he will be using it and strengthening it! I passed a guy a little bit older than Jason the other day while I was driving. He was in a wheelchair, sitting in the sun, with his shirt off, with a hopeless look on his face. I am not sure why he is in his condition but he looked very depressed and had no desire to do anything but sit in the sun. I am glad that Jason has the support that he does and has the desire to want to get up in the morning and do something with his life. Everyday is a gift whether we are in a wheelchair or not. We are all here on this earth to do something. I am grateful for my legs and arms that work and have no idea how it would feel to not be able to use them correctly. Jason has had an amazing attitude and I know his legs will get him where he wants to go someday.

Standin' around

You will find Jason standing up more these days right here in his living room. Holding onto the wall helps him with balance. I noticed when he came to visit a few weeks ago, on his transfers he can practically stand up by himself! He stands up straight and not leaning over you like he used to. We loved having Jason here in SLO with us and he says he is moving here when he gets a little better!! It is nice to see Jason have goals and see himself make progress:)

Something New

Jason is re-learning everything, even putting himself to bed. He completed this task, all by himself the other night. Brushed teeth, changed, got into bed, pulled the covers and yelled good night! My parents especially mom, was amazed at how she did not have to do anything to help him! Another sign, that his brain is still recovering, and he is making progress. Jason's accident was over 2 years ago and we are going to see some great changes in 2010 for Jay. Thanks for the continued support and comments. Jason will now be updating the blog every few entries.

hey

Howdy, this is Jason. People, I really notice, how so many people, take there health, for granite. Alot of people, walk, talk, and they still have, no direction. We dont realize, how lucky we are, to be american. Atleast, have a decent job, realize how lucky, you are, to be american. To many people, need to drink alchol, to have fun. Did we forget, how to have fun? Drinking is fun, but hard to moderate. Im becoming, slightly more independent. Im getting, in bed, alone. As well, as out. The next step, is to dress myself. Man, I lived 22 years, traditional. Very hard, to acept I had a acident. Very unreal, imagine all the sudden, you need help, with many things. Im not a baby, however the care I need, reminds me of a baby. Boy, if im a baby, babies are not ideal. Luckily, my parents are giving me, a chance.
