Hockey, you are such an inspiration. You have given us hope, guidance and compassion that can only come from deep suffering you have endured and continue to persevere. What you have already accomplished is more than some might dream of achieving in a life time (in terms of overcoming obstacles and working towards a goal). I find life's true beauty in one's ability to hope, and to love life despite all that happened.

Still, I would LOVE to be able to work, again.

I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never be able to return to my demanding, high octane career. However, I've reached the point where I would be happy to be able to do ANYTHING that gave me the validation of a pay cheque.

I'm not there, yet, and maybe I never will be (so say my doctors and PT), but I'm not going to give up.

No matter how hard I work at my recovery, there is no guarantee I'll succeed. All I can know is, that if I stop trying, I'm guaranteed to fail.
