An update from Erin :)
I don’t mean to brag…(a second little life update, written by me posted by )… but I can already bicep curl 2lbs. After 23 days on the acute Trauma/Neuro ward at St.Michael’s Hospital and a brief transfer back to Orillia I am now on my way to the Lyndhurst spinal cord rehab centre. All of the nurses, PSWs, and Andrea the physiotherapist deserve to be swept away on an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii (though I cannot make that happen.) The reconnections I have made with my old Toronto friends and the strengthening of connections made with my Orillia people and work family have made me feel so warm and happy. I am humbled by the amount of love, support, visits, messages, and donations that have come from a community that started in Orillia and now spans to England, India and Australia. It is not possible to thank each and every one of you but know that I have seen every name on the donation page and have smiled and/or laughed at every message I have been able to read. As I start the next chapter at Lyndhurst I will learn the skills I need to lead my new life as Erin 2.0. Though the chances of these gams hitting the hiking trails are slim they’re not zero percent. So I move forward with positivity and my usual stubbornness. You are welcome to join me on my journey.
