Last week my orthopedist made my final appointment for 9 January 2012.  If everything continues as well as it has, he says he’ll clear me to return to work: Eleven months to the day since my accident.  This has been a time of forced reflection for me.  And a healing process; both physical and mental.  In a fraction of a second one’s life can be changed forever.  It could have been worse, of course.  I am lucky.  I will be returning to much work in Honduras.  Friends and colleagues are waiting.  I am waiting.  But not for long.
