Remember how much she has done for the beading industry...a little return would be a wonderful thing! And here is a quick update on Wayne: "Wayne is very weak. Can't even sit up without falling over. Life is pretty sucky at this point. My heart just breaks for him. Financially I'm in real trouble. My mind is going 24/7 trying to figure it all out.

But ya know....I do have faith that it will all work out sooner or later and I still have my sense of humor so not all is lost.

Wayne's surgeon is going to do an ultrasound and then decide on surgery for the left side. (big stroke in Jan) May put in a stint. No guarantees that it will make things better but little danger of another stroke if he does do it. I trust this Dr. a lot.

The thing is Wayne understands everything and everyone around him. Can smile, kiss, laugh etc. Just can't talk. And right side is pretty bad. Involuntary movement is about all he has there. He's just spent so many months flat on his back that he's weak. I really truly believe that it's between Wayne and God at this point. Wayne knows that I only want what HE wants.

He works so well with the OP & PT though that I think he really is trying to give it (rehabilation) a chance. Only time will tell.

The hospital Doctors were so negative after the first stroke and Wayne proved them wrong. It's hard to trust any of them to tell the truth. I do love his surgeon and trust him so maybe a long talk with him is in order.

In all honesty it is very hard for me to ask for and accept help. If it were just for me I would not. But I have Wayne and Kirty to take care of and all help is appreciated." And from me personally...I don't ask the beading community for much. But for this, I am asking you to consider giving or doing what you can please.

Thanks for your time, Beki Out On A Whim
