Hi Gabby, it's good to hear from you. I am so happy your making progress. You've been through so much. Know that my thoughts are with you. That is a beautiful poem thank you for sharing that and keep us posted.
Well my friends, about time for me to show up again here ... I AM AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 19 months spent in rehab and hospital I am home - finally! What can I say? The first few weeks were very exciting, sometimes frustrating but all in all good ones. I am confined to the wheel chair now and had to let go on my old and to welcome my new life. This takes time but it`s getting easier by every day. My prognosis was that I would be dependent on nursery home care for the rest of ,y life. Well, I proved them wrong as I`m able to care for myself. I have my family to help me with things like monthly food shopping, cleaning windows and such but as for the rest I am independent. This was what I was aiming for and I did it ...yeahhh! I love my new life, different from what I was used to before but it`s a good life though. There is no bitterness at all but joy to be alive and healthy - apart from my legs. But we continue with therapy so there are still improvements, we will see how far they will lead me. It may sound weird but looking back I`m thankful for the time of desease and recovery because I learnt so much abaout myself and my family; I gained so much experience and things like patience, acceptance and courage that it was no bad experience for me. In contrary, many positive things are the result of it. My life is a good one and my spirits are high - I have never been one not to take challenges . So my dear friends, thank you for all the support, for all well wishes, blessings and prayers. Your names are written in my heart. You all stay safe, and may you always walk in peace! Love Gabby

Oh my goodness, Gaby! I have missed so much being away. I am so glad that you have been able to pull through with your strength and God's work! I will pray for you to make even bigger strides and continue to prove everyone wrong.
God bless you!

Thank you susie, Mike and dogshirt ... and you are right, dogshirt; it reminds me of a story I like ...
There was a man whose job it was to clean a long street with a broom daily. It really was a long street, reaching to the horizon and no end in sight from where he has to start his work in the early morning. People watch him doing his job patient and properly day after day. One day a passenger stopped by and asked him how he was able to do this job. He himself would be tired and especially loosing courage by watching down the long, long street and by the thought how many hours of cleaning it would take. The man with the broom smiled and said, "It`s not a problem, really, and it never wears me out because I never look to the end of the street but only watch the stroke I`m doing with my broom right then, and so I do it, always one stroke at a time..."

Hey Gabby!
Great to hear how you are doing. I have not been on the forum as much as I used to, but when I saw your post I just wanted to say hello! You are prayed for by many and I hope you continue to make wonderful progress.
Been a wild year or so for me and the fam. Made trips to China and Ireland. Never thought I would ever get to either place, but God is so good!
Take care and have many great days to come!
