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.

Kim Rodrigues Date: 6/30/2022 4:15:00 AM 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.

L Milton Hankins Date: 6/29/2022 11:12:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/29/2022 3:37:00 PM 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.

Jenna Logan Date: 6/29/2022 9:42:00 AM 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. Login to Reply Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/29/2022 3:38:00 PM 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.
