Five Percent
5:52 - Glass
My mother in law gave me this square decorative, painted glass plate for a gift a few years ago. When I decided to use it for this week's theme, the image I liked the best was of the very tip of one corner, so it's about 5% of the actual plate.
When we were visiting my mother in law at the beginning of January, she suffered a massive heart attack. When her heart stopped numerous times, the doctors performed CPR, breaking her ribs in the process. After surgery, the doctors came out and told us that at nearly 91 years old, only 5% of people in her age group survive an event like that. So she was one of that very small percent.
Recently, we went back and have spent the past week looking after her. She is a tiny, strong, independent and very positive person. Every day we could see her getting her strength back more, recovering, and she was smiling through her pain. By the last day, she got up before we did, moved her walker out of the way, made her own breakfast, and when we got up, she told us about her plans for next summer's vacation. That woman inspires me!
I will try to catch up with all of you over the next couple of days:)
