    I spent some time in stroke centers after my recovery from falling, the human brain is amazing considering what it can deal with. The majority of my injury was to right side, so I had to recover motor skills, it's not always if you want it it will come, but wanting it definitely is the key. I went through hell in recovery, the best advice I can give is to tell your mom to throw "normal" out the window, there more than likely won't be what she considers normal any more, but work 1% at a time, it really is baby steps, but 1% a day adds up pretty quick. She is going to be frustrated and more than likely pissed but don't let her give up easily. It took me 2 days to learn how to tie a simple slip knot used in fishing, considering I've fished my whole life and probably have tied that knot 10,000 times it was pretty dam frustrating to have to relearn something so simple

    Guess there might have been truth to what the parts guy at KW told me a couple weeks ago that the W900 gets an extension to 2027. I guess somebody must've talked to the EPA.

    I think we are tied in the loads I’ve hauled since that period also. Either can’t find one or they don’t want to pay the rate. One contractor keeps saying starting March should be non stop…… I’ll believe it when I see it :cool:

    Voice of experience; showing it can be improved, not that I did it."

    Hardest for me was being stood up from a wheel chair; (barely steady) reach across my body with right arm / hand, select a bean bag from a box on my left, , straighten and toss it (say10 feet) into a large round 50 gallon trash can. Then repeat going left.
    They told me the plan. I laughed and said no way. They said try...
    It is amazing how much some of them people know......
