Attempted murder with a minivan, that broke my back and left me paralyzed.

Re: Attempted murder with a minivan, that broke my back and left me paralyzed.

I came home on Tuesday from the Rehab Centre where I was living since April 30th (and before that March 14th at the hospital since the day of the accident). I am now walking with the aid of ski poles. I walk slowly and my endurance is not the best, however I'm getting stronger everyday. My goal for the immediate future is to get up to 1.2 m/per sec. when walking and improve my balance. I want to start golfing again, or ar least go to the driving range.

I'm starting back at the gym next Tuesday (need to get back the 35 pounds of muscle mass that i lost) and I start physio therapy next Thursday.

I still experiencing some sort of pain, but it seems to be getting better. My back aches after walking for a while, and I get shooting pains in my hips and legs sometimes.

The fundraiser my sister ran for me did extremely well. I would like to thank OS and everyone that donated. Your generosity is amazing. Also, I would like to thank everyone for their kind words, well wishes and most importantly your prayers.

I will keep you all posted on my progress.

Thanks,

Michael

Keep it up Mike. I will be donating once I get my refund check from school in August.

Glad you made it home. So awesome to hear that you are walking without help from others. Hopefully we can encourage you during your rehab. After my knee surgeries rehab was very difficult and I didn't want to do it. But I sucked it up and went through the pain knowing it would all be worth it in short time. Good luck my friend.

Any updates from the police regarding the investigation?

Re: Attempted murder with a minivan, that broke my back and left me paralyzed.

Alright, a quick update. I'm doing well. I can walk with the aid of ski poles and I gave back my wheelchair. I'm hoping to go back to teaching in September. The case has gone cold. The police have exhausted all leads. Oh well!

Big News...Mike Holmes is doing a show about me and is renovating my backyard. His new show is called "Making It Right!". This is unbelievable and very generous of him and the network to do this. For my American friends, Mike Holmes has a tv show where he fixes homes for people who have had contractors take advantage of them (Holmes on Homes). The show about me is for a new series.

That's awesome. I'm glad to hear that you're walking (even with aids, it's a huge... erm... step.)

The show news is immense! Here's to the future.

Mike,

I am glad to hear that you are progressing so well. However, the police need to step up their investigation efforts in your case. Since you said they were able to determine the make/model/year of the van that hit you, couldn't they just do a search of those vans registered in a certain radius of your area? After that, they should see if anyone that has that specific van has a connection to any of the kids in your school. Even better would be checking all of the body shops in the area to see if they have serviced one of those vans in the last 5 months. If they get a hit, I'm sure they could do a little surveillance and either track down the van and/or dig up enough dirt to get a warrant. It's VERY tough to get away with a crime when you leave behind physical evidence in this day and age.

You should definitely get Tiger Woods. I really like it, especially playing with the OS country club.

I will definitely let you know when they start taping and when it airs.
