With any luck, significantly better than what the past 3 have been.
When my wreck occurred I kept telling myself that I was going to make use of the time I would have while healing from the surgeries and learning how to live with the new limitations my body would be subjected to. I planned to better myself in at least some way.
Maybe I’d learn a new skill? A musical instrument? Improve on an existing skill? The possibilities were endless and all I had was time.
Time passed and I followed through on nothing. I am no better now than what I was before the wreck. And while the trauma I experienced was severe and has required time to recover from, I can’t help but feel I could have done something to improve myself in some way.
Now that I began rehab for what I hope to believe will be my final surgery, hopefully I can find the strength and focus to follow through with any of those plans I made when all this first started.
Three years from now, I should be highly proficient in at least one new skill. I have to be. Simply existing day-to-day for the rest of my life is not an acceptable outcome. If I’m not improving, I’m deteriorating.
This is my call for action. It’s time to make a change for the better. I have to for my own mental health’s sake. Three more years like the three I just went through will not end well for me.

Always strive to make yourself better than you were yesterday. I find with anything in life, it’s a process of being better than we were yesterday. Best wishes for a complete recovery.
