A year has passed...

...since the accident that turned my world upside down.

Much frustration, hard work, many tears, a lot of prayers, positive thoughts, well wishes, and even laughter have filled this last year. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all again for being beside me in spirit as I worked my way through the pain and began healing. You were all right there as soon as you knew I was in the hospital, and I was (and still am) overwhelmed. My hospital stay and stay in the extended care facility for more than three months total would have been much more incredibly bleak if I hadn't had such uplifting responses from you all! Each day brought mail of cards, books and other gifts that you shared with me. Each day I was - and still am - grateful for the strength of your support.

I still have a long way to go, but I have come such a long way. You have my thanks - my awe - and I will always owe you a debt of gratitude.

You gals rock!:D

We'll keep cheering you on! :)

Jeanne --- You deserve only the best and you made it through a very difficult year with much dignity, strength & grace. You are a wonderful person. Only great things for the rest of 2008.

J-It's great that you're back on track.

You're a powerful woman :)

[IFjane]

You're a powerful woman :)

Not only is she a powerful woman, she is an amazing woman!!!


And I am so happy to say she is one of my dearest and closest friends. Jeannie, you are an inspiration to everyone. Never forget that! We (I) love you!

You gals are the best! Thank you for the kind words. There are many days when I feel so lost and certainly not courageous. You (all) help me through - even though I don't have as much opportunity to post. I feel each one of you is such an important part of my life - and my recovery.

I am starting (back) with physical therapy. I have had to spend so much energy in trying to get back into the groove at work, that I sometimes lose focus on what's important - mainly getting my health back. Toward that end, I'm hoping the PT will help get me back on track. :rolleyes:

Just keep the healing thoughts coming, because I can certainly feel them.:D

And, Jane, I feel the same way!

Jeannie! Great to see a post from you and your sunny avatar. I can't believe it has been a year since your accident already. There is still plenty of potential for healing even after that amount of time, so keep your chin up and focus on how far you've come. The rest will be a breeze compared to what you've already been through!

Congratulations on your progress and getting your life back! :p :) :D

Hugs!

Good to see your post Jeannierides. I was thinking of you not too long ago and I was wondering how you are doing.

It sounds like you a continue to heal and this is most important. Everything else in life will fall into place.
