Not bad. I have no more excuses as to why I can't do things aside from the chest area. Still have a few broken bones that are mending, but even they feel better.
I went to the gym the other night to assess what my body would allow, and I can basically do nothing that involves lifting weights, as it puts too much stress on my wrist, knee, and sternum. I can do core and drink water, but I can't do very much in terms of "weight lifting" Even push ups are a big nope right now.
But I can walk just fine, I look pretty normal, and if you didn't know me prior to the accident, you would make no assumption that anything is wrong with me.
I haven't "worked" in 6 weeks but I should probably start next week. I don't know how corporate hasn't said much regarding my leave for this long. I really do wonder where I will end up with this job; for a few reasons.
But otherwise, I'm ok. I think I'm good enough to surf though. I'll try this weekend.Leave a comment:

Last check you were installing interior, now this! Glad you're still in one piece and recovering without memory loss from the head trauma. Get well soon!Leave a comment:

Damn, that picture really puts into perspective how hard of a hit you endured. With the crinkled roof and rear quarter panel, the impact thrashed its way through the entire car. This really puts into perspective how quickly everything can change and how important safety really is. I kind of feel like an old fart saying that but it's true. Sorry to hear that you're in so much pain, I want to say be happy that it wasn't worse, but you're still facing a difficult recovery and I hope you can return to 100%. I want you to dedicate a random backflip off something to me on Instagram as soon as you're able, and I'm holding you to that.
P.S. the crash almost shaped perfect rear fender flares for you.Leave a comment:

I know not everyone buys it, but if you don't have one, find a chiropractor.
Your body is all kinds of twisted, bent, misaligned.
You'll find much of your pain will reduce through proper chiropractic care. Some of it is muscular, which requires time to heal, some is structural (bones), and some will be a combination of both... structure being screwed up puts serious pressure/stress on muscular.
I once checked myself into the hospital with what I thought was the onset of a heart attack (at the age of 28!), only to have EKG's and other tests come back clean. Went to my chiro the next day, and he showed how a twisted spine was pulling the muscles across my chest causing me to be unable to breathe, feel light headed, numbness... etc. All the hospital wanted to do was give me 1000mg ibuprofen...
Rest up, heal up, and remember, you don't expect a turn a restoration project around in 14 days... and right now your body (and mind) are in need of a restoration.

First: Absolutely excellent build. Truly inspiring and wonderful how you brought that car back to life. Loved every picture and choice you made. That's exactly the way I would have done it. You sir have good taste.
Second: Glad you're alive. What happened right here is the one thing that scares me about driving a 25+ year old car with no airbags or modern safety equipment on the roads of LA. So sad to see that happen. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Where are the local e30/02/bimmer meets you guys attend? When you're up and about I'd love to check out the cars and give you a handshake for the great work you've done.
Chin up.Leave a comment:
