Newman is doing a benefit today for Casey Davis. He is a young man from our parish who worked for a landscaping service and had a tree fall on him (pinning his running chain saw to his groin area) a couple of months ago. He sustained extremely serious injuries and is in rehab in Colorado at present. Lower spinal cord injury means he will most likely be a paraplegic for the remainder of his life, but at least he seems to not have sustained serious brain injury.
I guess that makes me feel lucky for the aches and pains in my own feeble body from doing ballet this morning on the heels of that Pilates tape yesterday. I can definitely feel muscles that were not too active in the past, especially in the lats area.
Benefit was well-attended. Many parishioners made desserts to complement the hot beef and beans donated by Michele's. I could wish they would have divided up the parishioner donations so some would have made salads. There were plentiful sweets but no veggies. Nice basket raffle also so I hope they made good money for Casey. He and his wife appeared via Skype on the big screen to thank folks.
I am sorry to hear that you are feeling ill yet. Hugs!
