The time has come where we always reflect back during the year and for 2008 it was a year I went through a lot of health related issues. Many of you knew I took a hiatus for 4 months from Mobility Today due to me trying to find out what was wrong with me. I experienced such severe pain that quite honestly I thought I was going crazy. I went to 10+ doctors with bills that exceeded over $35,000 dollars (thank god for health insurance) to find that my problem was something they couldn’t diagnose. The hardest part of the diagnosis was that I never knew if the pain would go away ever! I was very lucky to have family and friends such as Steve Trotto (agent680) who listened to me every day and looked after Mobility Today. Steve your support during this time I will never forget! You are a true friend!

Either way I am lucky I feel better today even though I have some good and bad days it’s 100% better than I felt earlier in the year. As we close 2008 I would like to thank the people who have helped me run Mobility Today Steve, Patrick, David, Chris, Jerry, Bill, Michael and Geoff! I also would like to thank my cohosts of the Mobility Today podcast including Michael Manna of T4Show! Michael I value our friendship in 2008 and hope we continue even stronger in 2009!
