Susan,
I haven't been on in a while but am still interested in participating in the Dallas Area event.
Do you have anymore info on this or who I can contact so I can be of some assistance.
Update on my brother...his back and chest wounds are still healing. Has been suffering from back pain. Has therapy twice a week, visiting nurse twice a week. Is able to go for walks now and is really enjoying that. His neck is very far forward and I think this is what is causing the back pain. He had another surgery on Friday to remove the plate in his mouth that was put there when they broke his jaw. He is with my Dad and hopes to be able to go home by the first of April and live on his own.
I don't know how he deals with all of the pain. I am so proud of him and his courage.
Thank you,
danae

Hi Danae,

Sounds promising for your brother!! I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers! I dont know how they keep going either after all the pain and suffering, I have a toothache and I am whining!! They are all heroes in my book!!

The contact for the Dallas walk is Danyelle Scott, her email is [email protected]. It is not a huge walk, but it is conjuction with a health fair as well.

I am emailing another OCF member tonight about maybe doing another walk as well. I am late in replying to her, but I will let you know as well if that pans out.

Take care Danae, anything else, please let me know!!

Susan
