All of that and she can still smile.
Reminded of Homer the Sailor in the movie "The Best Years of Our Lives".
Paging Dr. Rudy Wells.
We have a local school principal that caught the flu. Complications resulted in losing both arms and legs. Specialists in Pittsbhrgh have given her prosthetics for both. She is learning how to walk again abd take care of herself. Attitude is absolutely amazing. Spoke at local University commencement. Says she will be back to work by fall. Husband, young kids and a community that adores her. Truly an inspiration. Kristin Fox. Youngstown ohio. Her story is something.
She’s gorgeous!
And she’s not in as bad shape as I thought.
Nice prosthetics she has.
I would seriously think twice about a transplant that would require me to live on anti-rejection drugs the rest of my life.
Loved those books.
My wife will attest to the fact that no anti-rejection drug has yet been approved for me.

A friend had carpal tunnel in both wrists and had both repaired at the same time.
They only did both at once because his wife said she would be with him 24/7.
But not exactly 24/7, she had to grocery shoping...
He said there are so many things we use our hands for without thinking until we are stuck without them.
He had many funny stories.
“She’s gorgeous!”
YES! Someone is taking very good care of her.
And sadly, her mother will not be there forever.
