[For
those of you encouraging my literary career, take a look at this : "I
Remember"]
Today is the
most miserable day
of the year.
It has been
raining for 24
hours straight with
a high of 40
degrees.
You guessed it.
. . Today is Jill’s
baby shower! In
fact, I
am just about
to head up
there.
I am almost
afraid to go
just in case
no one showed
up because of
the weather.
[Just got back.
It turns out
that almost everyone showed up!]
We are very grateful
to Danelle, Melissa,
and Jill’s
mom for putting
this together.
The pregnancy is
going great with
only three weeks
left.
Be sure to check
out the picture
of Jill's
belly on the
homepage!
We flew out
to Miami,
and I was
able to ride
the electronic bicycle.
Here is a
picture of
me on the
bike. The
unique thing about
this bicycle is
that my muscles
do the pedaling.
Electrodes are placed
on my thighs,
hamstrings, and glutes.
A computer then
sends a electronic
signal to the
appropriate muscle group
based on where
the pedals are.
It doesn't work
for everyone.
However, I
was able to
ride the bike
for 20 minutes!
It was fantastic!
Since I have
most of my
sensation, I
was able to
feel myself pedaling.
It has almost
been three years
since I have
felt those muscles
do anything useful.
The best part
of the whole
experience was having
the endorphins and
serotonin flow to my
brain. For
six hours, I
did not have
one spasm.
Jill and I
sat outside and
ate finger food in the
sunshine until we
popped! As
I went to
sleep that night,
I thought there
was something wrong
with my leg because
of a bump
that was sticking off
of the top
of my thigh.
It turns out
that it was just my
muscle!
We trust you
had a Merry
Christmas and a
Happy New Year!.
We would love to hear your vote on boy vs. girl...
