Karen Update! April 2, 2007 ...1 year anniversary!
It’s hard to believe, but March 26 was the one year anniversary of my accident involving a ruptured brain aneurysm. It has been a good year, considering I began it in intensive care in a coma. Then, when I regained consciousness, I had to learn to talk, think and eat again. I couldn’t have done it without some special people: my Dad, who allowed me to move back in with him, installed a chair lift so I could move from one level of the house to another and still manages my finances and medical/therapy care.Last but not least is my boyfriend, Paul, who helped me to finally conquer my fear of the stairs and also got me to give up the wheelchair, the walker, and the quad cane because of his support and belief in me. I now get along in a normal manner although I confess that escalators still get the best of me. My balance just isn’t there yet!
In the meantime I enjoy a rich and rewarding life due to the support of my friends, relatives and worship to the Lord. They make sure that my busy week is filled with therapy sessions that will enable me to return to work and enjoy an independent life again. I do not know exactly when that will be, but I am working hard to make that possible within the year. We shall see, as it’s in my hands and in those of a higher authority.
Finally, during a wonderful visit from Helen of the running forum, I now have the new address, so expect to see ‘Wildflower’ again soon.
