Welcome to 08 everyone! I had a wonderful holiday season, busy both in town and at the beach with family and friends. It was great seeing everyone. I have been pretty tired lately but i am diligently working on continuing to take steps and standing for increased lengths of time. Took my truck for a drive on the lake with some weary passengers - who did survive the trip. I really miss driving. FYI - wheelchairs suck in the snow, I nearly ended up making snow angels a few times.
I want to again thank all for your empowering support, recovery is happening!!
P.S. - any food including leftovers would be great alternative to Wascana mystery meat.
Thanks guys

Hey BD,
Nice job, it is about time you took the reins. Keep your stick on the ice.
Driving?..meh, wait til you guys hear the story about the stairs at the beach!! It's a good one!
love ya
We're so proud of you! We really really missed you this Christmas,hoping to get to see you really soon! You're doing awsome, keep it up! lots of love, Court & Z
Sometimes it is hard to tell you just how much you matter and how much you make everyone smile because it really cant be put into words. You are strong Joel and you will continue to make huge strides. I bet you are even a better driver than me already!

As a passenger and instigator in the driving experience, I can say that it was as impressive as it sounds. Only once did we scare that family of 4!! It was so great to see you at Christmas, Guitar hero had nothing on the pair of us. I love you and can't wait to do it again - I"ll be a willing passenger and accomplice any time.
I just heard it was a standard! WTF? You rule!
Hippo Beach Tales
When January comes with winter snows
That chill my private parts below
Then like most Hippos I am want to go
To Miami Beach or maybe Mexico.
So when the winter solstice come and gone
Most Hippos took charters at frosty dawn
For cheap cervezas with tacos of prawn.
Alas, I remained here, depressed and withdrawn.
Tis not I fear being a frequent flyer
For warmer climates I too aspire
But remain I must in this Hippo shire
Asshole! I let my air-miles card expire.

Hey Joel,
Great work! Never once doubted that you would get to where you are now. Keep it up. Best wishes for 2008.
Take Care, Erin K
Lots of steps in 2008. Uncle John
I hope to come see you soon. I read your blog lots. I know it's not the same. But I hope you know how many people are missing/thinking about you all the time.
Joel! This news of your accident is relatively new to us. Dayna let us know recently. We're certainly glad we came in to it at THIS point because from what we gather the prognosis wasn't good in the beginning. NOW it looks like you're well on your way. Lorna, John and Debbi are keeping track of your progress. You go! Looks like you are and we have no doubt that you'll rule over all of this!
Love to you!
Debbi, Lorna and John Kilborn
