Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yay! That's really great news I'm happy to herr that she is home, and I hope that she is able to keep her recovery moving in a positive direction more comfortably now in her own environment. I'm anxiously awaiting an update from her when she feels up to it, and I'm sure that many of the other people here on the list would love to hear some news too. We have all been so worried about her these past few months. > > Hi, everyone -- > > Just a note to let you know that Loriann has gotten sprung from the > rehab and is safe and sound at home.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi Everyone, Yup, I'm home, but my spunkiness is as limited as my computer time. Thank you for all your kind wishes and prayers and thanks for the card you sent. It's rough being in a wheelchair, but I guess I'm getting used to it. My PT and OT have had me up standing with a walker a bunch of times. Mostly I'm using my arms to prop me up there, though. I'm glad my left leg has some movement now. Haven't had time to read many of the posts here, but wish everyone well. Eliz, once, I figure out how to send you a Paypal contribution, I'll get it off to you. Take care, everyone, loriann > > Yay!

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2008 Report Share Posted January 2, 2008 Hi Loriann, It's so great to hear from you. I'm sure you're relieved to be home. You are so brave and an inspiration to all of us. I hate that you are going through this and really, really hope that you get movement and strength back - and/or that adjusting to life in a wheelchair is quick. Who can blame you for being less feisty than usual???? You've been through such an ordeal. And it sounds like you have a long road of physical therapy ahead of you. I hope you're not in pain - I hope you're comfortable and comforted by your family and being home. You're in my thoughts. Best Wishes, Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Dear Loriann, Hallelujah, your first post-op post to the Feisty Forum! I take it your family was able to make the old homestead at least somewhat wheelchair-friendly. They must be so overjoyed to have you home. That's great news, that you have more movement on the left now. I keep hearing about new miracles of PT, people resuming ambulation after serious paraplegia. I know we're all pulling for you here. When you do have more computer-endurance, I feel sure you will have quite a saga to tell us. One thing that came up in this forum during your absence was the importance of rehab for all of us after spinal surgery -- and you, my dear, have had rehab coming out the ears. I can only hope your therapists have been less trying than a few of mine were --it was all I could do to keep from firing one or two of my darling OTs and PTs on the spot. Are your family members doing more to take care of themselves these days (unlike mine, of course!)? I hope so. I don't know about you, but if personally stricken, I myself would rather not be one of those paragon Mrs.-America-in-a-chair ladies who navigate their entire kitchens with ease (according to the occasional Sunday supplement feature article) after being struck blind on the road to Damascus, born again, then diagnosed with terminal cancer -- having already, years, earlier, lost the use of all four appendages in a tragic post-partying accident while driving around with their sorority sisters and a six-pack back in those less insightful and majorly more carefree days before the tragedy of rotten luck brought them to their senses. True, it's admirable how some of these poster- people for life in a wheel chair can whip up a gourmet meal in no time, but I say let their kids show their gratitude by clearing the table, doing the dishes, then sweeping and mopping the kitchen floor- - while Mom takes a little after-dinner nip with Dad in the living room or relaxes with her live-in massage professional. Just my 2 cents, of course -- I realize you may feel differently. Anyway, Lori, I hereby appoint you Feisty Hero of the Year. Bravo! WELL done! Welcome back.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hi , I loved your post, and will try to answer when I have time. Meanwhile, if anyone knows where I can get me one of them live-in massage professionals, PLEASE email me on the double..... I also hope to find time to go back in the posts to see if you wrote about your most recent surgery. Hope that you are okay! loriann > > > > > > Yay!
