Hello Everyone.... Happy Holidays to all. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and eat well!! Don't forget to give thanks to all important people in your life. I want to give thanks to all my friends and family. I don't know where I would be if I didn't have them to talk to and help me thru the rough days. I have a lot of support from my husband, kids, friends and ofcourse doctors and therapy. Although I no longer attend therapy, I must thank them for all the help they gave me in getting me walking and mobile. I would like to say thank you to my wonderful husband Chuck for being there for me day in and day out. He really is my hero. He takes care of me everyday and for that I will always be greatful! My kids are wonderful helpers too. I want to thank my kids for keeping me going everyday. They help out with what they can and do what they can to take care of they're mommy. I truly have the most wonderful children!! And finally I want to thank the rest of my family and friends for putting up with me   LOL  and being there when I needed to talk or someone to cry to and so on. Life has been a roller coaster, but I must say I have enjoyed most of it. Take care of yourselves and enjoy Thanksgiving with the people in your life that deserve it... I know you do:)  Keep smiling!

Hi Ya'll

How is everyone? I seem to be making good progress. My phantom pain has subsided tremendously and I am walking much better. I still have some bad pain in my back from walking but I am going to be getting shots in my back at the end of this month to assist with that. I am starting back to college this Thursday! I am so excited. Getting my bachelors degree in Criminal Justice is a dream I have had for such a long time that I thought would never be able to happen due to my disability but hell, I'm going for it. There is plenty of jobs I can do in the Criminal Justice field I can do without needing to meet certain physical requirements of a police officer right? Hope all is well and if there is anything exciting to chat about; let me know:)

So what is the "in" thing for Halloween now? I have decided to be, everyone ready? A gothic gimp.....LOL   just kiddin!! I like to joke around and call myself a gimp or even stumpy sometimes. It humors me and it's all in fun! My husband and I are taking the kids trick or treating ofcourse but I was wondering if anyone had any other fun ideas to throw my way? I would like to know what other people are going to be too.... please drop me a line and tell me what your costume is or what you have planned for the evening. Take care everyone!!

Whats the scoop? What is everyone up to this weekend? I am trying to think of some fun things to do but for some reason, today I am just having a difficult time. I hope everyone is having a good time or spending time with loved ones atleast. Sometimes I think my brain has run away from me and today is one of those days.

I am starting back to college on Nov. 7th to get my degree in Criminal Justice. Imagine that, being an amputee going into the field not becoming one after. It is a new desire of mine to become a Crime Scene Investigator or Forensic Psychologist. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I hope I can become one of the best and not be held back because of my disability.

So I went to Six Flags over Atlanta this Saturday with my family and I must say for the first time in my life I was able to walk around the entire park from open till close and walk again the next day!! It was amazing to actually "feel normal" for a change. My kids were so excited that mommy was able to go on the big roller coasters with them and be able to walk around so much. I must say that there are too many rude people now days. I mean you go to an amusement park to have fun right, or atleast thats what I thought they were for but people just didnt care that you were walking beside them or waiting in line too. I mean they would just bump into you and then look at you like you need to look out or cut in lines like you werent even there. Reminds me of why I don't like going to big public places much anymore. Other than that, it was a great time and the fact that I was physically capable of doing it is amazing!
