Dawn,
So glad to hear you're home! Even if you don't feel very good, or are recovering from being broken, Dorothy was right - there's no place like home. Now if clicking those ruby slippers would take everything else away...
Hmmm, Nala the Dog really wants her walk. So I won't be riding any miles for you today, but does walking the dog count for something?

Still Healing
Well I made it back home last friday. Legs and rgt arm still useless, but the staples all came out of the arm monday, nothing that some smelling salts couldn't fix.
legs are to remain pretty unused for 4 more weeks,(can transfer to a wheelchair in about 45 seconds) then the surgeries will start again. Parents left because they had other plans. wish they would have stayed, but we are independent enough to make it alright. Nursing comes in every day for ot,pt, general nursing, and to help me adjust to all of the changes. i just wait for shower days, 3 a week, sponge baths on the other days. i am out of bed for about 30-45 minutes a day now. the cards and support letters from all of you have been a huge help. Elaine T=the note made me cry as you understand and gave me much hope. i wear the necklace as a constant reminder of my goal. this process is long, painful, and hard, but i qm learning lessons previously hidden to me, humility, allowing others the priveledge of giving, and just allowing myself to feel. my world moves slowly enough now that i can actually appreciate the friends, love, and beauty around me. thank you all for being a part of this experience. take care. Dawn

Hey girl, sounds like you are being well cared for. I'm sorry that you have to wait so much for your showers.
