Jude,
You are an inspiration to all of us. I am so happy you are doing better - it is exciting to hear about the new changes!

I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR POSTS FROM YOU, BUT I KNEW YOU WERE STILL RECOVERING FROM YOUR SURGERY AND KNEW YOU WOULD WRITE AS SOON AS YOU WERE ABLE. I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE ABLE TO SIT UP SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. HOPEFULLY, AS YOU RECUPERATE THAT TIME CAN BE EXTENDED. MAYBE AS YOU RECOVER YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GET OUTSIDE AND ENJOY WARMER WEATHER AND GET SOME SUN. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AND DON'T OVER DUE. BLESSINGS ON YOU.

I have been off-line because of some bad pressure ulcers on my behind that ended up going all the way to the bone and I had to have surgery to repair them. I can now sit up for short periods of time...long enough to use my laptop for the first time. Thanks to all of you who sent cards, gifts and Prayers during the time I was in the hospital and home recuperating. I have had strange sensations up and down my legs since the surgery, and have even thought I was getting feeling and possibly movement back, but nothing has been lasting more than a few moments. The docs have just given me permission to sit in my wheelchair for one hour in the morning and once in the evening. I am taking PT three times a week to build up my upper body so that transferring will be easier. Shoot...I've been up a while, answered several emails and read everything on the List that I have been missing out on, and now I find myself too tired and in too much pain to continue this at this time. I will finish this later. My love and Prayers go out to all of you. May God keep you safe, continue being your resting place, and may He keep giving us reason to Hope in our recovery.
