If you are the praying kind...

save a prayer for my Aunt Patti. She undergoes surgery tomorrow on her spine. She really is doing well, all things considered. She can move her arms like crazy. She can move her legs pretty well. She can even walk a tiny bit. But her fingers, well, she has no significant movement there. No real motor skills. Visiting her today, I continue to be impressed by her spirit and her resiliency. She knows that she is lucky - most of the people with her injury are quadrapalegics or dead. Still, I don't know that I would have her bright attitude and strong face. So, if you have a prayer to spare, please say one for my aunt. I don't pray much anymore, but tonight I'll make an exception.
