Journal entry by Judy Paul —
Hi. Realized it's been quite some time since there's been a CB update about Jen. & seems appropriate that I should do 1, especially since yesterday, May 13th, was the actual 1 year anniversary of the surgery that saved Jen's life in the wee hours of that morning. Jen is doin great! There's still some healing/recovery to work on, & there's some things that will never quite be the same. But overall, GREAT. March 4th we met w/Dr Bahn, the surgeon who saved her life. She was amazed @ the recovery, & though she was in a rush to get to an emergency surgery, she made sure to take time to give Jen a hug,& made sure to tell us both that there was no real explanation of why Jen was alive, or why she was recovering so well...except that it was God's will, (& people caring praying,etc), & she said to Jen "God must have a plan for you, cuz you are a true miracle". She told us to keep praying & thanking God. Wow! Neat!! So anyways, alls good. The important things are GREAT, the big things are great, & alot of the small things are good too. The small things that aren't exactly good we can deal with. There's always gonna be a "visual cut", & she also still has hip/back pain that just won't leave. Working on her balance(it's improved for sure), her multi-tasking, her "scanning"(kind of a new vision), etc. Jen had gotten back to full time work hours approximately a month before the virus thing hit. She currently works from home, which is way less scary. She is off all the meds, except 1 plus a BP med. Hopes to be off the med by July, when she has her next neurologist appt & another EEG beforehand. You know her...she always wants to do more or strive for better, but overall: THANK GOD for all the GREAT things, &, lol, the good ones too. Thanks once again for all the support & prayers & love. Be safe!
PS: she hasn't ridden horse again quite yet, but she does have Dr permission to whenever she feels ready for it.
