Update: getting better. Have cane now, but want pimp cane. I want to try and work on el miato, but lying on my back and sides is very uncomfortable. Bending over as well. Who wants to buy me a lift for turbo install?

Good to hear you are improving. I didn't know you still hadn't given the little MS a home! You'll be more into it when you start to get mobile. Not that it's nearly so serious, but I can relate to wanting to just DO something. I just had surgery on my arm. The fiancee left me at home for a day without supervision and I was out in the garage working on a fuel rail install with 1 hand....

Hope your recovery is quick man.
If you weren't in BFE I'd totally come work on your car for you..
Not remotely related to health, I actually completely lost my motivation to work on the yard ornament of a Miata I've got for almost two years. Nearly to the point of wishing my neighbors dead tree would just crush it so I'd be done with the thing. Can't say my motivation has fully returned, but I've made more progress in the last month than the previous 2 years. Can't believe I've spent nearly $2500 in the last 90 days on it and there's still no motor under the hood! My problem was I started buying other cars, guns, R/C ----, radio equipment and other electronics instead of thinking about fixing up my bastard car. Spent around 3 hours the other day working on it and actually enjoyed myself.
Sorry I can't help motivate you, not even sure what got me going again. Good luck, and really hope you recover from those serious injuries! Memory loss scares me worse than death..
