Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Son update.

He is home here with us as his house is a two story house, we turned the family room into his quarters, his brother took half my garage and turned it into a large handicap bathroom and he started outpatient therapy yesterday at the hospital, the guy told him to roll to the parallel bars and wait for him, he didn't wait, he got up and took a few baby steps the whole ten feet of the bars.

I'm getting a set of parallel bars made, they will be ready by Friday ordering them takes too long, 7-8 weeks, I'm not waiting.

Sounds like your son isn't waiting around for the "professionals" to rehabilitate him. That's a good thing!

As I said; "get well" and it appears from the actions you describe that he will!

And it's good to hear.

He has a strong will to walk, drive and get back to his house and he will do it. We already have two therapists coming, one on Friday one on Saturday, we're doing everything we can to help him get there, he gets in-hospital therapy Monday and Wednesday, four sessions a week should help faster. He is no longer using a catheter to pee so the sacral nerves are working already and that's a big step in getting everything else working.

I told him I'll buy and stair lift for his house he said no, he will go up the stairs. He is determined. The phrase "Can not be done" does not exists to him.

Awesome! Those parallel bars are worth their weight in gold for rehab.

While that sounds good Fred he must listen to those therapists. Those people are good at their job like real good. I have been to therapy so many times I could be a therapist.
'Lift 5 lbs. sheet watch this I will lift 10.' Damn near put me back on the operating table. Tell the kid to listen to them or he is going to start doing dishes and cutting the lawn.

That shows a lot of guts, character & strength. Those attributes aren't forged by accident or by good luck. His rehab is off to a flying start with that attitude! You have raised a good son Fred, he is doing you proud.
