Overall, I have had a good year. When we went on our week long European cruise (with my in laws and Ana and Fran) in addition to Jenny, Eliana and myself. I had a terrible time. I got what I assume (I never got tested) to be covid.
I was sick as a dog. I barely left the ship's cabin. In addition, everyone else got sick as well. Once we got home, I ended up getting hospitalized for a week. Luckily, I was able to recover from my illness and had no lasting issues.
I got the chance to spend time with both of my parents in person here in Pamplona. That was nice. Coming up, we will have my birthday and Jenny and I will celebrate it one of our anniversaries (the civil wedding). In addition, we will be celebrating new years eve. Eliana is growing like a weed and just celebrated her 5th birthday. I can't believe how fast time flies!
At the end of January, I will be going back to Texas for a while to focus on my physical recovery. It is my goal to be able to walk with the assistance of a cane. Failing that, I want to be able to transition to a traditional walker. No more wheelchair or walker with forearm support.
I will miss Jenny and Eliana but they will be coming to visit me in July. I am not getting any younger nor are my parents. This could be my last chance to make meaningful progress with my mobility and speech issues.
Overall, other than getting really sick on the cruise, I have been holding steady and slowly but surely making small progress with my speech and mobility. I am still going to my physical therapy 4 times a week and teaching English online to work on my pronunciation.
I am a lucky guy and grateful for all of you and every day that I have above ground. There are others out there who have it much worse than I do.
Til next time, Tyler
