Her second surgery, on Wednesday, removed the armature that had been emplanted in her bones. Now, she's in a brace for a while. Visiting nurses have been faithful. And, pharmaceuticals make the pain more bearable.
She's walking better! And, she's home with her family. No more nursing home. Thanks for all your thoughts, prayers, and "positive energy," over the last four weeks or so.
Now over 3000 m we started to see yaks..and lots of them taking up gear and supplies throughout the mountains. Incredible beasts.

I don't do self's. Don't know why, its to intimate, to challenging. Today was to introspective. Sometimes in life you are put in a place for a reason, to see what you need to see and learn what you need to learn.
Today lifes ironies have had the best of me. I'm tired, I'm emotionally done. I had left what I thought was a pointless and silly meeting at the local MS chapter and was driving home when I passed him on the street corner. I drove shaking for 4 blocks before I pulled over and turned the car around. I rolled the window down as he hobbled over to my car, one hand gripping his cane, the other the message that caught my heart "I have MS. Can't afford my meds or food, anything helps."
I shook all the way home and burst into tears when my mom answered the phone. I think she thought I was hurt as I was stammering about how I know it was stupid, but I didn't care and to please don't ever let me end up like that. I know there are a million reasons as to why I shouldn't have- but there are a plenty as to why I did.
The pile of meds that I am fortunate enough to have access too. The wonderful support that I get from my friends and family. The fact that I get help without ever asking and without it, I know I would be in a world of hurt. The fact that without my support system I know I wouldn't be as far as I am today (headstrong/stubborn or not). The fact that sometimes a series of events just happens and unfolds and you just have to listen to your heart and follow through. You may not know why you were handed the cards you were, or why you are put in a certain place at a certain time, but sometimes there are reasons.
