Hey Everyone! Were home, finally. I checked my e-mails and have over 200 to go thru, but for now, I CAN'T, and I really mean CAN'T begin (ok, weepy me, i'm just really tierd) to thank you, all of you who took the time to send messages of blessings, and hope, and love. I will eventually get to each of you separately but right now i'm pretty busy with the "can you get me thises, can you get me thats" for Benny. I'm trying to sleep when he sleeps but there's stuff sometimes that needs to get done. I'll get back to you when ever I have the chance to give my e-mail to you my full attention. You deserve that. I am SO incredibly blessed to still have Benny, we were told, many, many times how close I came to losing him, as in the physical sense or in the movement and breathing on his own department. I am also so incredibly blessed to have my FBOG and FML family there for me with blessings and words of encouragement. It meant and will ALWAYS mean so much to me that y'all were there for me, even when there was nothing else that could be done but pray. You were there for me and I will forever be grateful. You are all the best friends and family in the world and I love you all.(weepy again) The weeks and months ahead will be challenging for Benny and for myself. He did everything for ME(daily chores etc.) and now I have to, and take care of him. I AM NOT COMPLAINING GOD! I am so happy to do it all for Benny. I'm one of the very few that has my best friend for a husband, even after 36 years of knowing him. But I do want to say to you. Hug your hubbies, your sons, your daughters, you fur-kids. Life can change in the crack of a branch and forever be different and challenging. TELL your friends how much you love them whether they "aw pshaw" you or not. I love each and everyone of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Benny is doing very well. The re-hab staff was very pleased at his progress which is why he got to come home so soon. There are some adjustments to be made, sleeping in our bed is a major challenge for him. We have LOTS of pillows as he can only sleep on his back. We'll figure it out. Thank God he's here to HAVE things to figure out. I have been so out of touch with everyone so could someone please tell me how Sandi and Bo are doing. And Leslie, I sure would have loved to have you in the hospital somewhere so that you could pop in whenever. I do have to say that Grady's trauma unit is fantastic, They took very good care of him while he was there. The nurses were kind to me and it did help as best it could. That's it from me for now. I don't know when I'l have time again to go thru everything, but eventually I will. I just wanted you to know that we are home, thank God. And thank God for the best people I could EVER have in my life, all of you. Thank you SO VERY MUCH! Oops, duty calls. From the Bottom of my Heart, Sue Please feel free to call or even pop by if you're close enough. OH! my gosh how could I not mention this? Amereta and Jeff Julian cared so much about me, and my babies that they came to my house when I was with Benny, scooped up my sweet hearts and took them to their house for as long as they needed to be there. I cant explain to you how much that act meant. I LOVE my babies but I couldn't give them the time they need and deserve while in this catastrophy with Benny. I would have not been able to stay with Benny if my kids were at home. I have MISSED THEM TERRIBLY, but they're coming home on Saturday! We will regain some normalcy then. My kids took our dogs and they will be coming home tomorrow. I worry about them jumping on Benny but we will deal with it. I'm sending my biggest thank you to Amereta and Jeff and I will NEVER forget their thoughtfulnes and help. They way they looked after the well being of my babies so that I could pay attention only to Benny means the world to me. Ok, this is really it, I'm too slow on the "Can you get me's!" BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!! Sue Hide not amongst the shadows of grief, but frolick openly in the meadow of memories. [Posted in FML 7012]
