2024

2023 got away from me. I ended up in the hospital myself. While in Thailand on a birthday trip for me and Mark, my boyfriend at the time. We were doing the tourist thing and riding an elephant in Chang Ri. The elephant went mad when it was denied water and we had to jump to save our life. I broke my back and my boyfriend was attacked by the elephant sustaining multiple breaks, the elephant almost took his life. He had life saving surgery in Chang Ri. We honor the miracles that occurred in the experience. Had I known elephants in Thailand are tortured as infants in order to have humans ride them. I would never have ridden one. I consider myself a lover of animals and people both should be treated kindly and with respect. If either is abused at any age they can be triggered and that's what happened. (I'd love to share the miracles that happened in the experience email me if you're interested)Two weeks later we made it back Utah. Intermountain Health's Life Flight maiden voyage. Came to pick us up. Needless to say I've been recovering from surgery and am now learning the limitations of having two poles and ten pins in my spine. Healing is going well and I was able to get to Primary Children's hospital in Salt Lake again in February. It was good therapy to walk in there with a cane. Line dancing was also part of my therapy. In July my friend, who also was a major caretaker for me in my recovery, drove to Nashville for the fourth of July. The picture in the gallery is of use offering the Kisses from Heaven package to the hospital in Nashville! No cane this time! and we delivered to Denver on the way home. The body is amazing! I'm glad it knows how to heal. I know God, I know He is/was with me through the whole experience. The miracles that happened testify of that. Here are two places to find more of the story. Mark took amazing video and photos of the trip. So glad he did!
