Just popping in to say hello.
My little bird is doing really well. She's made a spectacular recovery, considering, and we're expecting to be discharged within the month. We took a short walk outside today, it was the first time she'd been off of hospital property in eight months.
Her wounds are almost all closed, her hair is patchy but growing back, she is nearly weaned off of the narcotics that helped her survive the pain for so long, and she is back to striking up conversations with the most random of strangers (no idea where she gets that.).
This past year has brought more loss and grief than i could have imagined... not only my little one's accident, but also losing touch with cherished friends and dear family members for reasons that i struggle to understand. It has been painful for all of us (my older daughter has been with us as well), but it has made us exceedingly thankful for every single message of encouragement and every person who took the time to let us know that they were thinking about us. A hospital is a lonely place to have to live, it grinds your spirit down to dust. I hope that none of you ever has to make that discovery for yourself.
Thank you for being a safe place for me to vent, and to share. This has always been one of the few places that I could. You guys are the cat's pajamas!
I hope 2016 is a much better year for your family!!
