Ben (and Tina) I'm so sorry for what you've been through! I've been behind on so many things, so I'm only now catching up to everyone's news; I wish yours had been better. I'm glad you're at home, though it sounds as if you'll need much patient work for full recovery. I hope the winter birds will grace your feeders abundantly, to help cheer you on.

Dear Ben and family,
I was looking for information about the Christmas Bird Count and ran across the news about your accident. I'll be praying for your full recovery. It isn't easy to have limitations when you've always been an active person. Hang in there!!

Heal well!

Hi Ben,
Just read in the St. Paul Audubon newsletter about your serious accident. I'm so sorry that had to happen, but am very glad to hear you are recovering. I know you're a very strong person with a strong zest for life, and I'm sure that's helping you greatly. Keep up the good fight, keep getting better and better. Take care...I wish for you a full recovery.
