Today marks the 20 month anniversary of Mark's crash and 18 months here in Tampa. It is absolutely hard to believe that so much time has passed. I feel as if we are in a time warp. Mark has come so far and his spirits have been especially high the last few days despite the surgery. He mentioned to his doctor and therapist today that the tunnel may have gotten longer on Friday, but the light at the end got brighter. I thought that was one hell of an attitude!

His spirits are especially high as well because Jess arrives back in Tampa tomorrow night. She is on her way as I write this.

Mark's day today went very well. He had so many visitors; therapists, nurses, social workers, and other patients. We were amazed at the attention. He was up in the wheelchair and we took a quick trip to the 5th floor for a quick visit to the nurses there.

When Mark's doctors came to change his dressing, he took a picture of his foot with his iPhone. I have put it below at his request. If you don't want to see it, close out of this blog before you get to it. It's kind of a cross between a robot foot and Fred Flintstone feet!
