I just wanted to touch base with you and let you know how much you and your team are appreciated!
I started having seizures a couple of months ago and honestly, this has been tough. I want to say this has been harder than fighting my way back from the brain tumor because I was finally cleared in January, at my 2 year check-up, to go back to work as a flight attendant...only to be sucker punched by seizures that I NEVER expected!
You may have read my story on FB (my family set up a go fund me account with some details, not all of course) so I won't go into great detail. I just simply wanted to say that the BP5K is once again my goal of completing. "You" gave me this goal last year after relearning how to walk, amongst many other things, and once again have given me this goal to obtain after this horrific battle with seizures.
My stamina and strength are gone, again, so I've got a long way to go, but at least I can still walk!! One day at a time, right?!?!
I had seizures for 33 days, sometimes up to 30 a day (needless to say I was in the hospital for a while), and have started my 90 day countdown! If I remain seizure-free today, I will have 5 consecutive days under my belt!! I want to drive, cook, stay by myself, swim, take a bath, be independent, run the 5K, etc!! Only 85 more days to go!! Ha! One day at a time, right?!?!
Anyway, I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and everything you do. You, and your team, touch so many lives that you may not even know about.
I wanted to thank you, again...I feel
like giving up sometimes, but I know I can overcome this just like I
did the brain tumor with strength, courage, determination and
faith...and a goal!! BP5K!! Sending much love,
Becca
