Her Attitude Is Great

My sister Carolyn has a broken neck I bring a walker to her. She says "how sweet". Our nerves are hyper sensitive, a wreck. Her mobility and attitude cannot be beat.

Sister love not to mention twin love. My thoughts and prayers. Great poem! Sadness in first line. The “gifted” walker “how sweet.” The third line with great emotion and then a hurrah for your sister’s progress - you are proud of her.

Thank you so much. We had a blast. I was there 5 days! Drove 5.5 hours home today.

Wow, so glad you are back. I have been very worried! I have a zillion questions, but I'll not inquire. Now, I'm surmising that you made a trip to Iowa. I hope Carolyn is mending, and you are home safely.

I am in Iowa City Iowa - have been here since Sunday afternoon. We have been laughing like loons. Maniacal laughter seems to really uplift a woman with a broken C-2.

Seriously, Caren... a broken neck? I've been meaning to ask how she was doing since Milt mentioned her in a blog. I hope she heals well.

Thank you Jenna. I appreciate it. She has a broken C-2, the highest vertebrae in the spinal column. We have been walking an hour to an hour and a half a day. She is using a walker. She must wear a neck brace for 8 weeks and she has to keep her neck stable. I am here to give her love.
