I am sending you all the positive I have beautiful! I know you will get back on that horse and shoot better than before as you are too tenacious not to succeed. The biggest cuddles!!!

Oh yea this is my fave.

Damion took me to the horses this morning. I looked at the fence. I wanted to hit it. But I look at it and I relive the fall. I cant deal with that yet. My speech has got worse. I can only say a couple of words at a time now. Too hard to get out. I still cry a lot and my second boy is not coping. Kita has become my carer and showers me. She is a good girl. My mri is on wednesday..so I sit and wait. We spoke to school this morning and they are going to talk to the boys. When kids see me they get scared and that upsets me. Visitors know to make me laugh and they still stir me, so I type back cheeky messages. But I dont feel the same anymore.
My husband is helping me a lot..making me feel it is ok when my life is a mess. I thank him for that.

Hang in there girl, this is not permanent. Your tattoo is, but this is not. You WILL be ok. |

Kids get scared easily -- but they also rebound very well. They'll figure it out, and they'll be wanting to help. Kids can deal with things so much better than adults; they just need a little time to figure out what's going on. It's going to be OK.

| I would come out there if I could and help take care of you. What can we do here at DPC to help out? |

I had a girlfriend who hit a tree quite hard with her car. They had to pull her out of the trunk and you can imagine the head trauma there. They even had to re-attach her eye and all that. But with time and therapy she got better, a lot better. In fact she is just like she was before with the exception of some eye problems.
I know you will make a recovery because you are one of the toughest women I know. :) |

Judi - life is one big adventure story with chapters and sub-headings. Some we would rather not have, but still, they come along and test us. You have always met adventure head on (ooops, sorry about that Judi, next time I'll think of another metaphor).
Yeah, well, anyhow, you will get through this and be stronger for it.
Don't think of what you "can't" do right now, think of what you "Can" do. And yes, you are doing it already. Hard to talk? Well okay, you type. You go girl!

I sit here and read your messages with my husband and they give me hope. My husband reads them and says 'see'. That is what he keeps telling me. I like to sit here and see your faces and read your words and know that you are here with me. You havent run away. Thankyou.

| Today I talked to a Western trainer who had a similar very bad injury to yours - in his case a horse stepped on his head. He too experienced long-term memory loss, lost use of his right side, lost his senses of taste and smell...but he got most of it back. Still has the occasional twinge in the right hand but otherwise back to normal. So there is hope for you ruff tuff Western-types yet! :-) |

I just read this and can assure you that "Running Away" is not one of the characteristics that comes to mind whenever I think of our DPC family.
Each and everyone of us is here for you Judi, and are thoughts are with you and your family. I can assure you that there are several people in here that have dealt with difficult situations, such as that which you are experiencing at this juncture, and know first hand of the feelings you are experiencing.
You are a young woman, full of pep, grace and elan... and you will pull through this. Your family is there to provide immediate help, assistance, comfort, love and will provide all that you require at this juncture.
Think of us as an extended family that truly cares about you and hopes that your journey back is short and without complications. I am convinced that many have lit candles and have prayed to their God, seeking assistance on your behalf.
Have faith... I know I do, and so does the remainder of my DPC familiy.
Ray

Judi - This week I will be doing a mountain climb and will spend the night on or near the summit. I will remember the song by Purple Haze and these lyrics:
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky ...
I will literally kiss the sky for you.
Get better soon.

I haven't been paying as much attention to the forums as I should, so I just caught this tread.
Eeeeow. You don't do things by halves, do you!
My dad had a similar accident, only he fell and hit his head on a marble step. He recovered and practiced medicine for another twenty years. He did lose his sense of smell, though.
Do what the doctors say, and don't push yourself.
I feel for your children. It's awful to see Mom-Who-Can-Do-Anything laid up.
Prayers and positive thoughts from Northern Southern California. |

I'm so sorry to hear about your awful accident, Judi, and the scary things you are experiencing. My thoughts are with you and I wish you all the best for a full recovery - hugs.
 I love this image, but there are many, many others in your fabulous portfolio that I love as well.

Judi, Thank you for the updates about your situation.
I certainly makes those of us who are following this through DPC feel better to know that you are still thinking of us as well. It is a good feeling to know that you are able to communicate, and to know that you understand that we care about you and your family.
I know that it is frightening when you are no longer in full control of the way your life is going, Your strength of your spirit is still intact, and it shows in your posts here. Wishing you strength, healing, and peace, for you to recover to be even better than before the accident.

Judi,
I've been a member here for almost 4 years, and I can confidently point to four people ( judi idnic  fotomann_forever [ok. . . .maybe more of a role model than a photography mentor. . . . :) and of course  Art Roflmao [mostly because he was one of the few who gave me an early favorite, and his fascination with the zilla.]) who were early influences on my photography.
I don't imagine that any of them will be unfamiliar names to anyone reading this, but you have always been at the top of my list, and I sincerely hope you get better soon. I look forward to seeing the world through your eyes and your lens again in the near future, Judi!
As for my fav Judi shot. . . . Too many to chose from, but I'll go with one of m favorites. :)

Girl, you know we are all pulling for you and I know in my heart you will be victorious in this fight. (Think of it as a Mafia Wars event, lol!) We are all here for support and love and anything else you need or want. This is a family and you are a very important part of it, so keep the faith and don't be afraid to ask for anything you need.
Take it one day at a time and just stay positive. Sometimes you take a few steps forward and then a few back, but that doesn't mean you won't succeed! Sending love and hugs to one tough broad! :P Luv ya, Judi! |

On the way to the horses this morning Damion had the radio on and this song came up. the words say how i feel at the moment. i found it on youtube when i got home and the colours and funny clothes mad me happy. i wondered if someone can suggest this for a challenge to make everyone feel happy with the world around them.
Sunshine after the rain
"I wanna see the sunshine after the rain,
I wanna see bluebirds flying over the mountains again.
Oh where is the silver linings
Shining after the rainbow's end?"
