God has blessed you. I am disabled, too, and have lived in a nursing home since I was 51, 10 years ago. How I wish that I could be free, like her. However, I keep a smile on my face and thank God for helping me.

Kathryn,

God bless you! I am always in awe of people like yourself who, when tragedy strikes, pick themselves up, dust themselves off and determine to make the best of it. Though I don't know you I can see that you are a vibrant woman and I'm so glad you fought to regain your life. YOU ARE A WINNER IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD.

Ginger!
