Just can hunt and peck....not like it used to be at all. Still lots of pain and swelling. Ahhhh, modern pharmocology. Sense of humor, don't fail me now....all I can say is "THANKYOU, EVERYBODY!!!!". Later, when things are better for me, I intend on sending each one of you an acknowledgement of your concern for me, individually. I have kept everyone's cards and letters.You've brought me through some very hard circumstances, indeed. And there are times when I have some real set backs, emotionally, physically. Last week, the pins were taken out of my left thumb joints and I was started with occupational therapy and just an elastic wrap.My mom and dad have been with me since my hospital discharge. They tell me they intend to do what it takes. Wow. on the 23rd of this month, I go to have this HUGE appliance (6 pins, etc.,) taken out...it will be done in the hospital. I don't know what they intend to do with me at that time, though. All I know is that I'm facing a series of several serious surgeries to enable me to eventually have an ELBOW again. I have virtually no feeling on my right hand that makes any sense...just pain. Nothing makes sense. Horses are for sale, may even be given away. Anyhow, life is upside down. Looking for a new begining. I find that yes, I DO believe in God, yes, I DO have friends and some of those people love and care about my welfare. There are people in the Muslim and Jewish communities praying actively for me, as well as those of my own faith. Please know I love you guys....thank you for your cards, letters, prayers, thoughts and prayers (lots going out for you too, from this direction.....you're precious to me). More later, I'm so tired now. Apparently there is still a danger of my loosing my right arm, so keep praying. Bye. Going to nap now. Jen
Jen, how wonderful to hear from you....you sound upbeat and positive and that's a good thing. I am so glad your Mom and Dad are there to take care of you. We are never too old for that. Please know that our care and concern continue for you.....take good care of yourself and get ready for that new beginning....Hugs.....
So happy to hear from you, Jen. You do have lots of friends praying for you. Glad your Mom and Dad are with you. You just keep hanging on - the rope is dangling with lots of knots. We'll all keep you pulled up! Lots of hugs to you!
Jen, it's so good to hear directly from you! Good your parents are with you; you certainly have a strong will and spirit. May God continue with you and all who are caring for you from barn muckers, to cooks, to doctors--everyone up and down the scale as an important role to play.
Jen, it's good to hear from you. I'm glad your mom and dad are there and that Ariel has been helping out. You have a lot of people praying for you and tossing you rope. Hang on tight!
Hello Jen, have been checking every day for news about your health...glad you are able to write, keep your positive outlook...glad your Mom and Dad are there to help...You are in my prayers...Bless you...Hugs, Rosalie
Jen, nice to see you "writing" again. Based on what was passed along on your injuries, that you were able to type the above note is a miracle. Blessings to you.
Jen, you are a precious stuntgirl indeed. Keep up the brave fight for healing. We are all rooting for you. Post again when you can, but don't tire yourself out. We'll be thinking of you either way.
Hope you continue to improve. Years ago, our teen-aged daughter was kicked by our horse and shattered her elbow, she's alright now, but it wasn't anything like what happened to you. My thoughts are with you, amazed & pleased that you can 'type,' we all get so addicted to these computers--well anyway, I do, much too much.
Jen, that one finger typing isn't easy. I know because I never learn to type and posting is very slow. We have missed you and have been praying for you. Love you
Good for you, Jen. You will make this happen. You are wise to move on w/o the horses. Your love for the the majestic horse will never end. But it's time to move on. That takes courage, and I applaud you. Hugs to you.
I'M SO EXCITED to find a post from you, Jen. Gosh, for what you've been through you sound great! Please keep taking good care of yourself, tell you parents how grateful we are that they are there with you. Yes, we got brand new rope and it has huge knots in it to hold to so grab on and don't let go. Prayers for your continued healing and full recuperation being offered.
So good to have a post from you ((Jen)) glad you are doing better and very glad you have the support of your parents. I know you must be heartbroken over losing your beloved horses, but I know Dad will be very happy. Are you still thinking of getting involved with the min horses? I have always wanted one of them :) Best of luck with your surgeries, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Nikki
Ah, Jen, Welcome back. It is good to hear from you and to know you are on your way to healing. Glad you have family helping and lots of support. I will continue to send healing thoughts and prayers your way. Keep up the great work!!!!
Jen...so glad your're able to communicate with us personally even if it's just a little. (for you lol) Keep up the recovery and rehab. You have a long way to go but we all know you have the spunk to do it. xox cs
Hey Jennifer. I'm so happy to see you can point a finger and peck away. Can't keep a gal like you down.
I've had the best intentions about calling you and checking in - so I can report to the members here, but with Foster going into Hospice/having a TIA/Krissy getting her new heart/and life in general, well.... mmm..You're absolutely correct! No excuse will suffice. I'm sorry. I think about you and your poor arms every day. Just hard to imagine.
I'll check in again this week.. Surely things will have settled down after Tuesday..(Big Realtor Open House/Luncheon here on that day!)
