From Floater, you will work it out...

Dear all

Lying here in spinal unit reading a blog about a about a guy who sounds just like me, Floater.

Turning a dragster into a mountain bike....to dual purposing a Hiace van (mx, camping, party bus, music box, race car, etc.)

Some of those things might have began from early in my life, when sitting in a grade 5 classroom meant to be reading a 20 page book when instead getting down the first half of the page and drifting off into innovation land and looking out the window at how things could be improved or played with...to have more fun in life.

I feel this has been the basis of my whole life, always coming up with fun, innovative.....ideas, to fit as much as possible into every day. This was decided to be the theory of life from then on, not "live to exist..but exist to live".

As you read at the start and have probably gathered, YES its me Bryan, finally able to communicate with all family and friends. Your comments and best wishes have indeed greatly inspired me to fight on and regain as much out of everyday as possible, as I always have.

Now that I am back to a level of sanity (without pain relieving drugs) I've already started planning the next challenges in my life, with my trustworthy family and friends. Will keep you posted.

Floater, The Innovator (alias of Flyan)

  3. Bryan it's great to hear from you.
    I've been following your progress through this blog and it's good to see you're improving daily.
    I was really shocked to hear of your injury but i can see with your positive attitude and strength you will overcome it. It must be great to get rid of that tube and be able to talk again!
    All the best for a speedy recovery.

  4. I visited Bryan yesterday and was there for one of his first steps how proud I was, he is so amazing. His determination is fantistic just hearing him say where's the gym lets go, I'm ready right now. So with attitude he will make his recovery much easier. Also Julie and the girls are by his side doing a wonderful job. Tthey are all amazing.
    p.s His room needs some brighting up!!!
