Cheeseburger in “Paradise”

May 6, 2014

It’s been a good 24 hours.Last night, Dan Williams stopped by with a cheeseburger and fries. It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve been able to sink my teeth into any food that’s been given to me. And it’s been a couple months since I’ve appreciated food this much.

Today was a tough day at the gym. I got pushed pretty hard in physical therapy. The highlight was being put in a safety harness and being allowed to walk on a treadmill. My swallowing is pretty much back to normal, but my balance is still off. I still fall hard to the left. I’m not making a political, theological, or social statement here, I’m saying I literally fall to the left. But therapy is helping. I can already see my brain rewiring itself.

I was struck today by the fact that the more I learn about anything–e.g. the human brain–the more amazing I realize God is. He is more brilliant, more beautiful, and more wonderful than we can imagine, and watching my body recover is a great reminder of that.

Go Hawks!

Press on,

Mike
