Oh my god, you guy are amazing. Before this I kinda felt like the kid in the corner that never really was noticed, ya know the quiet little one, kinda shy, loves to help others given the chance. @[member="Noah Corek"] You are right, blood you don't choose, but family most certainly, you get to choose them. Never knew what a great family I had sitting right before me and around me, I'm honored to write with such kind people.
You guys singlehandedly overnight gave me the greatest gift you could give: Hope. I've gone from feeling so hopeless, lost and like there was little chance I'd get anything done before something terrible happened and my life changed drastically for the worse. Here ALL of You guys have given me so much hope and made me feel like miracles are possible. I just want to reach through the screen and hug everyone. Hope has been the best gift that you guys could have given me at a time when I felt like there was nothing left and I no longer had the strength to push through, each and every one of you have touched me deeply and are giving me strength to keep going. I hope someday I can pay the gift forward to all of those around me and those who have been so wonderfully supportive of me here in a time of great need and suffering.
I cannot thank you all enough, I really can't and I don't think I'll ever be able to express in words how much all of this means to me.
As for an update, I do have a small one, and have had a bit of luck on a few things. So here it is:
I do have the order for the MRI, or will in the morning so says the doc. So, get that head to tail MRI, we can see how bad the damage is, and move for whatever surgical means that are needed. I'm fortunate to have a cousin who owns her own physical therapy company and knows the neurosurgeon that traveled with the USA women's gymnastics team when they were on tour in the states as well as overseas for the Olympic games. He amazingly enough does pro-bono surgeries for people like me, and she is working to get me on that short list to see him and view the MRI's as soon as we have them. With some luck and perhaps prayers if you of the type, or warm fuzzy thoughts work too! I'll get to see him and get my body repaired as best we can and life and get somewhat back in the norm.

Maybe not the best place to post this, seeing how it's us wishing her well which I did, but why not have a public event? Just throwing it out there.
@[member="The Burned Man"] If anyone would be interested and I'll start a separate thread over in the RP discussion.
A public event of some sort, I'd be most honored to be a part of, even if just done to wish me well or bring joy reading it. Because here is where I come to forgot my troubles, and be a little more normal for a while, be someone else who triumphs over evil and fights through her own battles instead, coming out on top for a change. It would most certainly be a great distraction for someone who could really use it, as under current conditions I'm stuck at home, withdrawn from school on med leave. So, I really could use something like that. Or even just RPs or what not, but I'll link a new thread in the RP discussion. See what people want and think. <
Wishing an RPer Well Planning!>
As if I have not said enough and I never will be able to, thank you everyone so much. I feel so loved just stepping onto the board each day and watching this thread grow and with it the wonderful kindness and messages of hope that have been spoke, the ones of love and caring from people I am not sure I have even spoken with. This community is amazing, and all of you even if you only give a *hug* or a warm message, all of you are helping me get through and help me push on through what otherwise, has been the most heartbreaking and hardest time of my life.
