Good to hear from you Mark... Thanks for checking in with the update! Is your son still going to school up in Rocklin?
Yes he is. He is doing great too. I get up there a couple times so we should grab a coffee or something next time I am up there.

Glad to hear things are not as bad as initially thought. Maybe someone in Cali can organize a RTE in Victorville so you can have a lot of buddies to ride with for a day!

Mark,
Glad to see you post an update. It sounds like some things are improving. Now you can wear the shirt that says "I never get lost cuz everyone tells me where to go" with meaning :D:D

This forum hasn't been the same without you.

Wish you all the best,
Mike

Wow, this takes me back... when I first joined the forum, you and Adam were two of my favorites! Have missed both of you. Good to hear you are getting things sorted out and that God is on your side... heck, he is on all our sides, some just don't know it yet. Good hearing from you.

Mark, I've thought of you numerous times in the last couple years, missing your posts, wondering, and hoping. Thanks for checking in, and God is good to us!

Glad to hear from you Mark, thanks for the update. Were they ever able to determine what triggered/caused this condition? The brain is a complicated organ and more processing power than any computer built to date. Trouble shooting the brain is no small task.

Stay healthy and everything else will fall in place.

So happy to see you posting. It was a real downer reading about your plight earlier. This news is good!!! Just the fact that you feel like riding means a lot. Even if you have to buy a QA50 and ride in circles in the back yard I'd say it would be good for your synapse.

Yo Cap't!!!
Good to hear you're doing well! (well better than the last time you told us of your travails!)

Hope you get a scoot for your short jaunts and it works out for you!

Re: Capt_Gruuvy: Four years to today or what I have learned about filing for Disabili

Wow, sad but good news.

You know when somebody really needs SSID its nearly impossible to get, yet it seems there are millions of perfectly healthy people running around on it. Makes no sense to me.

Hang in there

Mark, it is good to hear from you and things are better. If you do get a bike, scooter, what ever, send me a PM, we'll go somewhere and i"ll get you home in the same day. Unless of course, I get lost, but that is part of the fun :).

Re: Capt_Gruuvy: Four years to today or what I have learned about filing for Disabili

Great news, Capt! I remember when you changed jobs and started driving for Shneider. Every time I see an orange truck, I remember your detailed post about the size and the inertia these big trucks have. It is great to hear from you again and do hope that riding will be back in your future. Did you ever considered a smaller scooter ? Thinking manly of the PCX150 or the Forza (300 cc)

Great to see your post and to hear things are looking up for you. I know what you've been going through being that finally after a year and a half I've kinda accepted no longer being able to ride or drive due to my diagnosis of Alzheimers with the onset of advanced early dementia. Hang in there buddy.
