Jan was able to walk 100 feet with the walker. No assistance. Although pain is a constant companion, she continues to fight through it.
Our daughter Sammie is president of the Murray High School Dance Company. They were having their spring dance concert last night and tonight. She has been in the Dance Company for all three years of high school. This was her last concert before graduating. Needless to say, it was very special. It was tremendously disappointing to Sammie that Jan wouldn't be there. However, regardless of the situation, Jan was going to move heaven and hell to be there. She arranged for transportation to and from the concert, to a strong shot of pain killers, and attended the concert. Even with the pain killers, it was very uncomfortable to sit up in a wheel chair for over two hours. It was an event never to be forgotten by either Sammie or Jan. Both embraced each other in tears.
How could a man not love this woman.
A rather amazing coincidence happened in connection with this. Jan was brought to the high school by a private transportation company. It turns out that the driver of the vehicle that brought Jan is the father of the young man who hit our car in the accident. He said that his son has been sick with worry about Jan's condition. Somehow he had been told that she suffered brain damage. He hasn't been able to get any information concerning her. Jan told him of her condition; that it wasn't what the young man feared.
Wow! What a tender mercy for this boy. Jan I'm so happy you made it to the concert. I cried and cried when I was told I couldn't go home Friday and go myself.
ReplyDeleteI think about you all the time!
