Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 249 CHAPTER FOURTEEN Things got pretty tough for me after the accident. The pain in my right leg was unrelenting. A large hole on the inner side of my lower leg didn‟t heal closed for a year or so and was always draining fluids into the gauze bandages I had to replace a couple, three times per day. The doctors installed two metal rods inside the bone, knee to ankle and knee to hip. They left some extra rod sticking out of my hip bone so they‟d be able to grip it when it was time for removal. That “extra” prohibited me from sleeping on my left side without a big pillow between my legs because it would dig into the muscle in my rump when my knees came together. It often did the same thing when I was driving, sometimes even just walking. The upper rod was finally removed four years later. As far as the lower rod, the surgeons even had to call Hospital Maintenance to borrow some vise grips, but they couldn‟t get it out. I sometimes wonder what‟ll happen to that silly thing when they cremate what‟s left of me after I‟m gone. Clank. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 250 The bones in my leg were still knitting for about four years afterward, so the pains were both frequent and varied. Nice touch of excitement, I guess. A change of pace, if you will. It hurt to do anything but drink beer and have sex, so I initially spent as much time as I could doing both. It was very hard to keep up with the guys I‟d been running with, and we began drifting apart. I soon became an HSDO, (High School Drop-Out), in my junior year, about halfway through. The pain of all that walking in school was pretty bad, and I felt like a third wheel anytime I got together with anyone I knew. Easy to do when you‟re a six-feet two and a half inch, two-hundred-twenty pound bale of insecurity, and I was. Soon after I dropped out, my future began to look up. I found a good job at Morris Auto Parts, driving the delivery truck, for $1.50 per hour! Man, talk about goin‟ places! I was! To Holt. To Mason. To DeWitt. To Grand Ledge. All over Lansing. A new world opened up for me, and it stunk. Ironically, I graduated six weeks ahead of my class. I went out to MSU and met with some counselors. Using my trusty silver tongue, I somehow attained a waiver of the normal requirement of waiting until after your class has graduated to take the test. It was a five hour test I aced in less than three, and the results arrived six weeks before the class had their ceremony. Oh, joy. If I‟d gone the regular three years, when I started my senior year in 1967 that David thing would be starting as a sophomore, which it did but I wasn‟t around. I think that was good, since it would‟ve only been another problem I didn‟t need, and I was long since finished defending it or sticking up for it. Many people might say this would be a good opportunity for me to tell you a few Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
