Where have you been?

What the hell happened to me? I've been suffering a writer's block since I fell rockclimbing last year and broke my neck and back. I spent six months in a neck/back brace, but now it's off, got away without needing surgery. I'm back driving again & have no pain related to the accident, exceedingly lucky for the size of that fuckup and the distace of the fall. I fell 25-30 feet off of the redrock ridge I had climbed a dozen times before, but the rock had gotten crumbly, my handhold broke. I got back on my bike yesterday for the first time in a year, it was awesome! Everything good in my life is especially good now because I shouldn't have it, I should be dead or paralyzed. It's all a fabulous gift, given back to me.
