It is so good to be home again. I have had two nights now sleeping in my own bed and it is great. I am doing OK now, walking with a limp on my right side. My pain is still there and HOPEFULLY will start dissappearing soon. I am only hopeful that this last surgery will do that for me. I got a note from Megan that one of my cousins, Shellie, was trying to post on this site and could not get it to work right. Megan sent me the note. It is good to hear the comments she made towards my recovery. It is always nice to hear that people are behind you! It is always a positive. Thanks Shellie for keeping up with me and my progress. It always makes me feel better to hear from everybody. I get messages from family on both sides and that is wonderful to me. I was told yesterday in an e-mail that is it sad that I had to go through something like this accident to wake people up as to what is important in life. As sad as it sounds, it is a true touch to your feelings. But, accident or not, family is family and always mean the world to each of us. You love each of them as a part of you because they are a part of you. That is what makes families so important in our lives. The sad part is, you really find the depth of friendship in your friends. Some people I always considered a friend have really stepped up during this crisis and others that I thought were real close have just disappeared. I know a lot of people that throw in verbal sayings and that always mean so much. And others don't express themselves so well, but mean well. I understand this, too. I am one of those types of people in a lot of ways. This accident makes you learn a lot of things about people in general. It also makes you realize what is important in life. Family is family and they mean the world to each of us. We are not always as close as we could be because of distance, time and other matters, but they are still family and you always have love in your heart for them. And friends are friends and always will be friends. It is just you can learn a lot about them during a time like I had. It is God's way of teaching us what is important in life. He has taught me so much and I thank Him for holding my hand through all of this, to help me heal and be there for others. I hope I never know anyone who has to go through what I went through or what it put my family and friends through. It is sure a hard way to learn what is important.
Sorry I got so wordy this morning, but this situation has made me that way.
I love each of you for who you are and what you are to me.
If anyone needs it, Betty's e-mail is "bradbet@gmail.com" and I read notes that are sent to it for me or about me. They always mean so much!
God will be there for you, as he has been there for me, if you ask Him for his help. He helps me in so many ways to become the person I am. I am still here for all of you to talk with anytime. Love to all of you!!!
