Hi everyone
Thanks so much for all your links, and names of agency's- I really appreciate that. I have been gutted all day for Kathy and Steve. I just cannot get my head around what a fearful thing for them to be facing and just how much each of their lives are going to change. Thank god they have each other.
I just spoke to Kathy, and as I expected she sounds a bit numb and is still herself trying to get her head around it. Steve picked up the phone first, and I just didn't know what to say. Its just such a shame. Its made me very sad for them. I know with hard work and patience, rehabilitation will take place and Steve will learn to live a 'normla'life again, but it can't be easy. I just sat here for a few moments with my eyes closed, imagining, and I didn't like it one bit.
ANd its scary. So yes, Katie, you get through this to take care of yourself if nothing else!!! All of us - lets really make it to goal, for our healths sake and for the sake of our loved ones. I would never want to put my DH through that. It is a bit of a wake up call. Life is short. Life is precious. SO many things taken for granted, that can be gone like that <snap!>
Thanks again everyone. More group hugs to all.
