Hallo everybody,

I'm writing to inform you that I feel really better now, I'm beginning to move my first steps and to leave my bed... It's really awesome rebegin to do all the normal things, like drink from a glass, eat or brush my teeth while I'm sitting or standing, not to say my first shower... but the best thing is use the WC again =)

After first check up visit seems that my pelvis is on the way to fix very well, so I can move with wheelchair and walker; soon I will leave this helpful things to arrive at a normal situation. I'm happy 'cause I'm recovering fast, this is the most important to me. Soon I will begin physioterapy with my doctor Luca Filippin, I think it'll be really hard reinforce my muscles (I lost more than 9kg), but luckily my doctor will let me work really hard as usual.

I would like to go out and run, take my bike for a ride, but is too soon now. This situation brings me to appreciate a lot what I have and I had, I'm feeling a very lucky guy. I want to say another time thank you to all of you because you're great, I continue to be in touch with you with wishes, greetings and all, and all this makes me happy.

Ride to party, see you soon, Alve
