Imagine This

Imagine Lori, in fuchsia scrubs (she's learned why so many medical types wear scrubs - they're comfortable!), with matching toe nails, wheeling her own chair down the hallway en route to the outside gardens, being greeted by various staffers, all pleased to see her up and about. Imagine Lori, laughing at the thought of herself, back at CNN, tilting her chair backwards every 1/2 hour to relieve pressure from her rear end, and what it might look like to passers-by. Imagine Lori, determined to do whatever it takes to get well and to avoid future medical problems. Can you see it? Then, you've seen Lori today. Yes, there are still problems and concerns and future anxieties. (healing of final pressure sore and flap surgery, unknown cause of elevated potassium levels, chair adaptations, etc.) But, beyond all hope, it's there, the possibility of recovery. You've been a part of it. You're important to us. She reads every card and so appreciates your thoughts and generous gestures of friendship. It's not over yet. But we can visualize the possibility of relative normality again. Thanks for taking this ride with us.

Always,
the Sneed's
