i see all kinds of things that I have, and that I will do in an effort to regain My bodies motor functions ande My Brains ability to Function. Things such as working on playing My SG, or My acoustic Guitar. I will have a Manual Typewriter use by tomorrow, 12-19-21. Working on My 1971 Plymouth road-runner. I have High-Speed hopes for My road-runner. For now I must regain My left Hands motor Skills. That way I will be abring My creativity and my intellect to bear.

Yes you will Chris, you will "fly" the neck of your guitar, and you don't even have to look at it. Your fingers have all that muscle memory just waiting to get out. I like your idea of a manual typewriter which takes a bit of force to push the keys. You are a good writer, and maybe you could write a post with your typewriter, scan the paper into a file, and then post it were ever you like. Having "hard copy's" of stuff in a physical file is a good thing over time, nothing can get lost.

Gregg You know I have found that My road to recovery while Yes I have many friends who have been there encouraging Me along the Way. Thank You Guys for being so positive. I also experienced dreadful unjustified Negativity from those who I paid to help Me recover. If one has injuries that are so severe to land You in a Comma for three months in My case. The ignorant incompetent hacks, My Doctors simply wrote Me of as a person would completely fail to recover. They said such caulis, crude, Hurtful things, such as; "He will never walk again and He will never regain His Mental faculties to be much higher than a Potato. What I just typed is what one of these omnipotent ignorant Charlatan fools told My Sister as I laid there in a comma for Three Months. I mean it, I was wrote off as a Person who would not, and could not recover.

Hooray and kudos to you Chris! Keep up the good fight.

See you under a Condor330 one of these days,

Hi Frank, Frank You know I truly do know how to say how awesome it will be to leave the Ground again! I am so looking forward to My first flight in what will be over 12 years by the time that I will Fly. I just hope that I have not forgot how to Fly. My memory is shorter than My Arm. Maybe Flying is like riding a Bike? Man what a Journey this has been for Me.

Chris, here's an answer to your "flight memory" question. If you have any doubts watch my turns in this video. I'm sure you have watched this video before but this time be remembering that I had not put a hang glider into a turn in the previous 39 years. Remember that as you watch my turns.

The only thing I can add is that I did have a tendency to hold the bar in a little more than I would have if I was more currently used to banking and holding a turn. Before the end of that flight, however, I started pushing the bar out more once the glider was banked. Based on that experience I would say that I would have become more comfortable slowing up more in the turns after a few more flights, which I did not get to do.

The rest of that day was blown out, I had in injured knee from my wheel landing, and I left for home the next morning.

Here's my "after 39 years" flight video link:
