~Tank~

Months. Yes, months… I’ve lost months to the coma. Now, I am losing months to rehab. Two months finished and who knows how many more to go. Traumatic brain injury is what they keep calling it. I was shot multiple times. It’s part of my business, part of my life. It’s not traumatic, it is what it is.

My uncle dying in my arms… that’s traumatic. Not just for me, but for everyone he left behind. He was a good man. They weren’t sure I would have my memory back, and some parts are fuzzy, but for the most part, it’s all there.

My muscles have deteriorated. No longer built like a tank, I am a mess of arms and legs that don’t want to work. My body is still trying to fall back in line with my brain being awake.

I have a physical therapist to build my body back up and work on my range of motion as well as my ability to walk again. That’s right; me, the badass biker that’s killed motherfuckers, can’t even walk unassisted. Hell, there was a moment I couldn’t walk at all. My muscles, although worked some by the nurses and therapists when I was in the bed, are unable to take my weight after so long of not being used. I am getting there, though. Every day, I work a little harder and get a little stronger.

They have me working with an occupational therapist to return me to my previous ADLs, as they call it—my activities of daily living. Ha, that’s a joke. My activities of daily living were riding my Harley. I can’t swing my fuckin’ leg over it now, but I’m getting there.

Shit, when I first got here, I couldn’t talk. Now, I think Leah would love nothing more than to shut me up. She is my speech therapist and says I have mastered using profanities, as she calls them. Fuck that, they are words like any other. Now, if we could only clarify my regular speech, she could move on to a patient more in need.

Some days are good, some days are bad. Some days are never ending. All in all, I’m getting stronger. I’m getting back to the world of the living.

I thought, foolishly I guess, that Sass would call or come see me. Not yet, she hasn’t. Danza has filled me in on what’s been going on with my Button. She is trying life with a pretty-boy. Well, she can try that out for now. I am coming for her, though, harder and stronger than ever before. I won’t back down, either, so she better be ready.

She’s what pushes me through the struggles of rehab. She’s who I lie in bed and think of at night. She’s who I picture at the end of the ramp while I learn to walk again. She’s who I am always walking to, even when she’s not here.

When you’re in a place like this, when you meet the Reaper and win the fight for life, you see things more clearly.
