RideMan is having health issues.

It sucks about your leg, Dave. I'm just so happy you're still with us. Get well soon, as well as you can get. I hope to see you at a park sometime in the future so I can tell you about my cousin, who walks around with a prosthetic leg.

RideMan:
Shame this is happening in the middle of the coaster season.

The lengths some people will take to be able to skip the lines

I'm guessing it is more hopping the line than skipping the line. (Yes, I'm going to hell).

I just hope Dave will call his new leg Smith.

Maybe I can go to Orlando this winter and visit Disney and Universal, of course using park hopper tickets.

I do know that when a ride vehicle comes for me, I will still hop aboard.

For now, I'm just happy I was able to stand up on a standing frame today. My leg didn't tolerate it well, but it's the best I've done since all this started. First I stand, then I can get hopping.

I'm documenting most of this on Facebook ( http://facebook.com/RideMan ) and it's all public...you don't need to be my 'friend' to see it.

Dave, you've got a leg up on the rest of us. Your jokes have me hanging on a limb. You should have been a Jungle Cruise skipper. I think you would have gotten a kick out of it.

In all honesty, I think attitude wins the day with challenging health issues. My sister was given a very, very small chance of surviving a pretty horrific cancer diagnosis last year. I believe her positive attitude is a significant reason why she is still with us today.

Just keep putting one foot in front of...well...you know what I mean.
