I appreciate the inquiries from such good friends at an extremely difficult time for me. I am hopeful that this trial will result in my full recovery. It is scary losing function of all four limbs at the same time, but much improvement has occurred since the onset of this nightmare. So, I remain encouraged.
For all you brave souls that stand by me and send me good energy, I tell you that it is making the difference. All the e-mails, cards, flowers, calls and personal visits from all over the country will never be forgotten.
Jennifer and Geoff have absolutely shadowed me through this whole experience. Jennifer has been an angel, being the daughter that I'm so proud of. Geoff is balancing his full-time work schedule with his share of the caregiving as well. He could model for men, who have loved ones in this kind of situation. As a man, he has shown selfless effort to support me in every way and to lend support to his sister, who is pretty beaten up by this, also. Heather is the third point of the triangle and she has been fantastic.
Selfishly, as I spend weeks forward in my hospital bed, I admit that I hope that all of you will continue to stay connected with me. I never realized how powerful contact from loved ones meant until I met this crisis. So, thank you for everything and anything you have done and will do to support me. I'm reaching out.
This Thanksgiving is going to be different, but only to make me better look forward to the holiday next year and to Christmas this year back in Oklahoma.
love,
Sheryl
