What an amazing day!! What started off as a potential disaster/ where i was ready to leave the RIC and literally wheelChair away.. turned out to be an fabulous day... yesterday I was so frustrated with the Policys and bullshit of admistration and rules just pushed me beyond the edge .. i wont go into details but thanks to family and close friends. namely my brother jason JB Mills and Laura Rachell and Tammy Bennett really helped me decide to stay. and i appreciate that. and all the nurses here were understading.. though not all were happy about it. as i cussed a few out and told the 6.5 foot tall security guard to F-$# Off. but we made it happen. and i apologized to those who i may offeneded and what not.. but heres the good stuff. 1 i slept!! i fianlly slept more than 5 hours. basically cause i told them if they woke me up for anything i was going to lose it! and they left me alone and i slept from 1 am til 9am.. !! i wolke up feeling great. and there was breakfast waitig for me! then my legs didnt hurt for the first time in for ever. and i got my pain meds and they even made an appt for a pain med specialist to come next week. also my brother. said. and made sense that ifi didnt freak out at least once. that then something would be wrong iwth me. .and ya. i just felt trapped. i couldnt leave. the floor or the the building without a pass.. all that i felt like i was in 5 grade again. what i need a hall pass? im 44 years old WTF!! so they helped me understand. i missed my 1st 2 therapyss but they were dumb. anyway. but the 3rd one i went to. and that was so cooll!! the guy took me up to the 12th floor and helpedme learn how to get in a car!!! Ya thats right there was a whole car in the gym on the 12 th floor. minus wheels and an engine. but the rest was intact!! and heres the pics!! and i did it on the first try and not so much on the getting out that was harder but the therapist gae me proper instruction.. thats huge!! cuase i cant move my legs or my stomach or half my back . i didnt think i could get in to any car! ever! for a long time. so that really made me feel good. and not so trapped. then when that was done one of the nurses did something called digital stimulation... which basically means she sticks her finger up my butt and wiggles it around!! due to meds i have consitpation plus i cant go becuase of the stroke. so she stuck her finger up my butt and helped me go ... Hey this is the shit i have to deal with!!! so you do too!! lol... not all of it is fun and games.. in fact none of it is.. i make it fun by being me. otherwise ... welll lets not talk about otherwise. i was ready to choose a ditch rather than be here last night. so we are making progress. and that s one of the things that i dont think my brother or you would do.. so cheers up to the nurses for being as cool and loveing and helpful as they are in all situations. including that one. sorry no pics there!! then my brother came and we got a pass to got to the store next dooor and buy some goodies for me. and he bought me a coffee maker!! yay! the kitchen here closes down after 7pm so theres no coffee or anything else. but they do have a refrigerator and we marked my stuff and hopefully it will be there tomorrow. but everone here seems cool so im not worried about it. i hope you all had a happy 4th of july!!! i didnt.but hopefully you did. i had a happy 5th of july. and i also got a new bed today. the other bed were air matress beds that are old and suck. long story but it didnt work for me so i finally got a a bed... also my brother brought my old laptop back cause there was an issue with the WIFI so my macboook couldnt connect. its a known issue.. except it took 15 calls to the supprt guys for someone to tell me that. so now i can write and say hello and tell my story.. finally tomorrow i will be starting the 2nd phase of funding.. i really nedd everyones help. i know many of you have donated money and i dont ask that you do again. but if you can that would be great . but if you cant or dont want to. pleaes consider giveing me an hour or a few minutes of your time.. ill have more details to morrow when i start the campaign.. ok signing off now.. good luck and love you all!!! and thank you for your continued support!! i will walk again!!
