Nice to see that your making the best of your disability and can even have a joke about it, thats what its all about

P.s has it actually got enough power to get up those ramps? surprised it got that far actually i guess its been chipped etc to up the bhp, hence why its pulling that much

last MRI shows no growth in the tumor so it looks like its staying the same for a while, which is a very dead left side arm,leg and foot, they do move but feel like they weigh 8 tons or sumit.. not nice but deal-able with wen you have a great other half that helps me so much and now ican get aroud theres no stoppin me lol.
