Every one sorry for the big delay with an update. Thank you for your patience. Michele was not sure what to say. Her sister Rita will add some and then Michele will. Thank you for all your prayers, support and of course the meals. Every one has been awesome. If you like to visit make sure you have some time Michele likes to talk Ha Ha.
Thanks,
Scott
This is Rita, Michele's sister from South Dakota. I really didn't know what to expect when I got here, how the reality of the situation would be. I was so thankful and impressed that she met me at the door with a big hug and smile. I had expected some changes due to the TBI, and there are some differences. But I am pleased to report that her basic personality is the same. My sister is a strong woman, and has surpassed everyone's expectations on the speed of her recovery. She gets somewhat frustrated when things don't go as she thinks they should, but many times she is comparing herself pre-accident. She has very high expectations, which has basically helped her during her recovery. She refuses to let other people tell her what her limitations are. I know this may be a surprise but Michele can be stubborn. I am very much enjoying my time with my sister, realizing through this week how precious she is to me.
Hey, this is Michele. Yesterday we celebrated my second week home from the hospital. I probabley missed Buddy, our faithful pooch, the most as he wasn't able to visit while I was treated. He gets too anxious in strange places. At home he is my faithful couch potatoe. Now don't get me wrong my Honey and the kids are so precious and visited. They were fabulous. I don't always feel I get much done at home, but I have a new set of therapists: pt, ot, and slp. We are making progress. Soon I will be meeting the Neuro Phych and hope he will soon clear me so I can go back to work. Of course that has been my goal all along, but alas I am forced to take baby steps. One person put it like this: "You cannot push the river." So I take it that my injury will heal in its own time. I seem to be going in circles: I still need patience; I think I will live in denial. Perhaps recovery will not be so slow.
Take care and do be careful: I could talk your ear off.

Hi Michele. This is Steven and Kathy. We just got back from vacation at Lake Havasu in Arizona and Steven wanted to check immediately to see how you were doing. We read your blog every night and keep you in our prayers. It was real hard for Steven at first, but now that he knows you are getting better he is handling it much better. he really misses you and when he says the prayers at dinner he always includes you. he was very excited because George taught him how to drive the boat while we were on vacation....of course his attention span didn't last more than about 15 minutes and then we were heading right for the mountains!!!!!! But he did very well for the time he could focus. Let us know when you will be up for a visit...we would love to come and see you. Please let us know if we can do anything. Progress may be slow but IT WILL BE SOOOO WORTH IT IN THE END so don't rush it. take care
