Subject: [Cinci-nfb] Question from a wheelchair

 

Hello Cincinnati NFB members,

I apologize for sending a message to the whole list which should actually
only go to a few, but I have limited time for doing anything on the laptop
and can't find a list of the book club members.

As I think most of you know, my femur suddenly snapped December 1, and I
have been in the hospital since.

It was quite a trauma to both body and mind, but the love from kind friends
have helped tremendously in the whole recovery process.  

I will not be able to put weight on my left leg for another 8 to 12 weeks,
but I was introduced to a wheelchair yesterday, and have done tons of
smiling while learning use it.

The question that has arisen has to do with book club timing.  

Visitors and phone calls have been at least as essential as medication and
nutrition in knitting my body back together.  

(One of those visitors was Judy Rudig, and one of the phone calls Alan
Lemly.  I thank both of you from the bottom of my heart.) 

Tomorrow, I will be missing CABVI's annual holiday party, which I always
attend as a board trustee.  I will be sad to miss it.

A little while ago, CABVI's CEO John Mitchell called to ask if he and
another board member or two could bring the party to me when it is over.

I am thrilled and touched by this gesture, and of course I said yes.  

I am writing to ask if book club members would be willing to begin our
meeting at 8:00 PM rather than 7:00 because of this unplanned visit.  

I will be very grateful if you can adjust your schedules accordingly.  

I hope all of you are having a wonderful Christmas season.  

I will not, as you have certainly predicted, be attending the NFB chapter
party on Saturday.

I wish all of you a wonderful time together on that occasion - and healthy
bones as well!.

Peace,

Deborah
