Thanks again, everyone for such a wonderful welcome.
I am very much looking forward to getting know all of you!
So many comments have been made about my story/my ability to overcome. While my story is remarkable, I am just a regular person put into extraordinary circumstances. Each one of is has what it takes to be a champion in life---trust me! It just takes a little nudging to get it out---in my case, a tractor-trailer nudged it out of me, and I turned to my faith and my service dogs to overcome the rest. I guess what I'm getting at, is that It isn't I that you should be impressed with at all---I definately didn't/couldn't have done what I have on my own!
I'm so grateful that Mitch introduced me to this wonderful group! It is I who is blessed to have the opportunity to know you all! Thank you for all the wonderful, warm welcomes and kind words!
