April 10, 2011
Last night I dreamed I was skiing. The dream, vivid and real, woke me from a sound sleep. My heart was pounding and my mind was racing with the familiar rush of skiing, a buzz I have loved and craved all my life. I've experienced similar dreams countless nights before, but last night was different- for the first time I was riding a Sit-ski. This change, perhaps as much as any measure of progress I've experienced, is very encouraging to me. To me, the fact that I envisioned myself riding adaptive ski equipment shows me that I'm opening up to the possibilities of the future. One way or another I WILL carve my way down snow covered mountains.

You will indeed be making turns, my man! Stay strong!
ReplyDeleteHi Eric,
ReplyDeleteYou may not remember me.....But i think you will. John and I have the blackman boat at the boat club and I paddle with Molly. We heard about your accident and we have been thinking of you daily. We will be at your fundraiser Chili Cook off on Saturday. We're bringing a very close friend with us. We hope you can meet him. His name is Jeremy McGee. Check out his blog. He is a professional, crazy Para-athlete. I know you will love him! He is looking forward to meeting you too.
Here are a couple of links to his life today:

Awesome dream Eric! Perhaps I'll be doing some turns beside you with a new knee! I need to investigate about the Chili cook off, this is the first I've heard of it.Keep up the awesome attitude and hard work. Stu and I are hoping and praying for your continued progress.
ReplyDeleteAloha Captain!
ReplyDeleteI'm back on Maui, after a fantastic ski season in JH! Obviously skiing with YOU again is at the forefront of my POWPOW dreams! Check out this YOUTUBE video of the first sit skier to drop into Corbet's:

I already know who the second sit skier to stomp Corbet's will be! And I'll be right there with YOU My Brahda By Anahda Mahda!This guy and his other buddies were charging it...think of the Face Shots!
And remember, Capt. Cousteau, let Bunge and I know when you are ready to go scuba diving again
Maui style or Naked Mermaid style for that matter! Capt. Bunge said he had a great time on board Kai Kanani with your physical therapist!
Keep Bringing it Buddday!
