Hello all my friends..so sorry for the long time writing...can you believe it! I forgot again how to log on!!!! duh...but here is the scoop!
It is very interesting how the mind works..from the beginning 99% of the rehab focus has been on the legs.must get walking! and I am very happy to report that along with all your love prayers and support and rehab I am up and walking with some support from a walker and a cane. I still have no or little feeling in my legs but I know that will come in time. However the spinal cord also connects the Gastrointestinal system ie in my case the bowels..usually not a topic for general conversation but let me tell you in my room (God help me there are 4 of us and I say this as a prayer..even though I have good roommates living in a ward for 4 months is a learning experience! enough said! haha) the general topic of conversation is "what we are putting into our bodies ie meals and when and how it comes out! Nothing is sacred...haha
Anyway the incomplete break has affected that part of my system and it is just not working 100% and that is why I am still here.... as for when I am getting home I really don't know...after 6...count them 6 discharge dates I will hear of no more...when I am in my front door that is the date! But being here has offered me many other advantages and opportunities...The Universe has a plan and I am just going along with it...how about this ....one of the Dr's (one I really like!) is Polish...my dear friend Annemarie from Truro has a Polish daughter-in-law named Sawa..her mother is here for 3 months from Poland and speaks little to no english so at a Polish Festival AnneMarie, Sawa and her mother & I went. Dr. Uva (sp?) was also there and I introduced him to Sawa and her mother ...turns out they are from the same city in Poland! cool eh it gets better...in a city of 300,000 his father lives just down the street from Sawa's mother! and she is going to take something from Dr. Uwa back to his father for him...coincidence...I think not!
The next thing I am going to tell you is because I know you will all understand that I tell you to help you understand why I am still here and not coming from ego...( I am embarrassed to tell you but that is ego...isn't it)
There were 2 things...the OT (occupational therapist) was talking to my roommate across from me and my roommate was telling her how she had been in so much pain the night before and I went over and did some Reiki and she was able to go to sleep. the OT said to me "you are a healer..." I said even though I don't care for the term healer yes that is what I do and I am sooooo ready to get back to it...she said" you are all ready healing and have been doing alot of healing all the time you have been here...." I was blown away but said thank you... it really made me feel good and honestly I think that is part of why I am here...I have gotten to know many people and maybe have helped some either at a mind, body or spirit level....it totally humbled me.
Then another day during a conversation with the social worker...she said something like "any hospital would be happy to have you as a patient you do so much good here....again humbled would be the right word here.....
There have been many other situations which help me understand why I am still here...and I am grateful for the opportunities offered to me. God's ways aren't so mysterious if one just lets it happen and goes with it. I have learned a lot here and am truly thankful.
I have really gone on here haven't I....well another dear friend Jennifer...has encouraged me to write more and I am trying to do so....
I ask that you continue to pray for me (body & mind & spirit...) I promise to keep up my blog just as often as I can......I really!!!!!! love you all..good night
