I'm gettin' this body healed right up. The vertebrae and left foot feel pretty fine. The right foot is still a work in progress, but I'm out of the cast, off the wheelchair, and scootin' around on crutches. I've come a long way since this MRI was taken.

With the help of awesome physical therapists and the support of great friends, I've set my sights on returning to Africa by the end of the year.
