Wow, Barbara..I didn't know you were flying when you had your brain bleed...

I am feeling a little sentimental tonight. New members always ask me why a profile pic of an airplane. It is not any old airplane...it is an Eastern Airlines plane. I was working for them when my AVM burst. I was given oxygen all the way thru landing in Miami. I made it to the hospital within the Golden Hour. If I had not been on that Eastern airplane...I would have died.
EAL shut down 21 years ago today. This is my tribute to that grand old airline...

I had major AVM rupture 25 years ago which left me partially paralyzed on my left side. I went on to become an interior Designer for a high end firm in Iowa City, Ia after graduating from the university of Iowa in 1997. Now I stay home with my two young sons and stay heavily involved in volunteer work. I'm going to hopefully be on a snowboard later this week and my next goal is to be on ice skates again by the end of the winter. It has not been easy walking in my shoes all of these years despite the fact that I'm very blessed. My saving grace is tht I make my number one priority to challenge myself and live my life as if nothing is holding me back even though what I deal with is more painful than most people will hopefully never deal with in a lifetime......

I sure do love success stories...and I am one of the most blessed man on earth. It never was easy, and the battles will never go away, but I have not given up...I have taken so many miles, and I keep my attitude good. I feel that there are many others in much worse spots. So I keep a smile and keep looking for the Light and closing aNy Darkness!!! Blessed Be

Jim
