[nagdu] application update

Jenny,

I'm sorry to hear that it has been a struggle for you. Contact the school, 
tell them you fell, and they'll work with delaying your juno walk. And, just 
keep doing the best you can do day by day. You will get to your 
independence. You're just taking the scenic tour. Did we forget to tell you 
that when you signed up? Oops! Well, the fast track was full. Hang in there.

Greg

Please pardon the typos in this message, but I am crying as I write this.

I have just now started checking my messages after a week or so of being out 
of the loop due to a serious injury to my ankle because the city of Rockford 
didn't take care of a whole in the middle of a crosswalk.

I have gotten the run around through the city and tried to contact several 
attorneys to help me get compensation for my injuries, that we still can't 
determine because the swelling has just now gone down enough to do proper 
MRI tests to make sure ligaments or tendons haven't been torn or severed 
completely.

I was checking my many previously unchecked messages when I received the one 
from the school that let me know that everything was in and the home 
interview person would be contacting me soon.

there is no way to do a proper Juno walk at this time or any time soon due 
to this injury, and I've worked so hard to get this done, and gone through 
so much hell.

I can't even get to appointments using paratransit because they won't come 
down my driveway and won't come to the door to come and wheel me to the bus.

I have had to rely on the kindness of friends to help me for now.  Many many 
steps back from the independence I have fought tooth and nail for since 
Brooks retired, or despite his retirement.

Please put me in your prayers.

Have a good night and impending weekend.

Jenny
