Several have commented on the K1TO status after
the August 3rd fall in middle GA. “Highlights”
include fractured femur in multiple places and TBI
Traumatic Brain Injury. Wore normal tower belt and
hard hat and was attached fine but the tower itself
had zero concrete in the base. This is an open
investigation so I can’t say too much.
Walking - not real close even as we pass the 5-month
mark, despite persistent tries from various Physical
Therapists. Some limited progress.
Seeing - mono vision thanks to relocated R eye - zero
progress but at least vis
ual acuity
is normal.
R hand - same despite increased tries from
Occupational Therapists. Maybe 65-85% usable but all
email and cell phone usage done slower w L hand only
and eating also essentially L handed. R hand trembles
uncontrollably at times.
Memory - some improvement although mild Aphasia is
real.
Tnx to one club member for shuttling me (no walk
in the park) and another for lending his huge
support by moving my car to Myakka City. Although
the sleeping and eating were finally fine, the
therapy went close to zero and I'm on the outpatient
FL Blue network where it has ramped up again.
Meanwhile, the folks in GA eliminated the blood
thinner and my leg required an immediate surgery to
remove the arterial (not deep vein) thrombosis.
Missed both modes of CQWW and ARRL 10 for the first
time in nearly 50 years.
Finally figured out FQP so 2020 with its 70% increase
(!) is being processed.
Wife has been terrific after not seeing each other in
August. 2020 was quite the year. Thanks to all for
your support.
