Free writer

I do believe I like to free write when I have to do a paper. It gives me a chance to throw things out there and sse what sticks and what just slides right down the shute and out to sea. I can throw things out there like, with a below the amputation I can be up and walk in as little as 6 months and be fairly pain free. Which is not the case now. I look at my leg and it sucks, I have a clam shell brace on my leg and if I take it off my leg drops and flops from side to side. My Orthopod seems to think it is a great party trick. I tell him just what I like being a party trick. I will see him again in Jan. and see where it goes from there. I would like to get my quality of life back, you never know what it is like to loose something 'til it is gone. I can't do the things I used to do. But I still do somethings that I have been told not to do. I don't let a broken leg get in my way, I just plow right ahead and go for it. But every now and then the pain will stop me in my half track. Ya'll have a good day and I will see you on the flip side in seminar if the aliens let me go.

Vets day

To all vets in the class this day is for you as a member of the armed services and have been for a long time. Thank you for all you have done and the sacrifices you have made as well as those of your families.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is one thing I don't think I have done on purpose, which I don't think any of us do. I have never had anything plagiarized, never been that important. None of my co-works have used any of my material with out me knowing it. If I knew of anyone that did plagiarize something then it would have to be reported so some one in charge. What ever you do don't use someone elses work without giving proper credit. Citing our work is very important this way we give credit where credit is due. So watch what you do and make sure you cite and cite correctly.
Thanks

Another day

Just spent another eventful morning at Brook Army Medical Center. Here in San Antonio, the weather is cold and rainy; and it is wrecking havoc on my leg. Just in case anyone was wondering, I have had a broken leg for the past 14 months and on cold and rainy days it hurts like the devil. The doc's are going to put an internal fixator or plates in place in Jan. and if the there is no change by June of 2010 the they will have to amputate the lower portion of the leg and then you can just call me stumpy. My wife calls me the Gimp right now I'm sure she will come up with another one if they take the leg. We shall see.

Possibile topic for finial project

I think for my finial project I will do my paper on below the knee amputatuion verses above the knee. This is something that I might have tp face in June of 2010. I am giving my doc all the time he needs to try different treatments, and then we will talk about amputating the lower leg. I have done some research on this already in order to get my self preped for this out come. If it happenes so be it, if not then all the better. The orginal equipment is best but the spare parts now a days are great.
