Chris, you are in the early stages of recovery. First was the surgical stuff and subsequent recovery. That happens fairly quickly. You have seen amazing progress since that day you crashed. But I said it before, and I'll say it again, it takes a long time to get back to 90%. And even longer, if ever, getting that last 10%. Be patient. You'll get there. And with any luck, at 100% or close to it.
I was in a bad crash. Spent an entire summer in the hospital and I was told I would likely need a cane all my life. And that later in life probably a wheelchair. I did walk with a cane for a while. Strapped it to the bike.
But I never accepted that I couldn't get back to near normal. I worked my *** off and a year later was back to skiing, running, riding and everything else. Yeah......there's some left over stuff. But it hasn't slowed me down.
You'll be just fine. It could have been so much worse. Count your blessings and work your *** off. Stay focused on PT and strength training. But most important - keep it positive! Your limitations are temporary. Your efforts will be rewarded.

Chris, too bad you're missing all the fun, news seems like Texas is being over run by undocumenteds. Sounds like the only way to stop it is secede from the US and close the border, Feds just keep making it worse. Or just stop watching the news, likely as not it's bullshit anyway.

ya get what you pay for.
Some mods are dirt cheap and just not offered on a specific trim level.
while other items are a clear upgrade from what the moco has on the lot. But the cheapness is there. Ie; tires, bulbs yeah they are maintenance items but one can do a lot better.

It will be pizza.... if I get lucky, Russ. 
Ironic that I am visiting the kindergarten room of my granddaughters, which is the same rooms I attended years ago. The elementary school was built in 1959.
