You guys rock! That’s all I can say. I had no clue how I was going to get through the recovery from my December surgery. I was told I would need to take 2 to 3 months off work. They say that so easily, these doctors, as if I live in a world where I have money to pay my bills without working.
Well, Sara R showed me that I actually do live in the kind of world where friends step in and care for one another. This is so foreign to me that I am still in a state of disbelief. With the help of asterkitty, Jon Sitzman, Crimson Quillfeather, remembrance, The Marti, and Murfster35, Sara R started a fundraising marathon for me. (Some of these folks even wrote more than one diary.)
Funds they did raise! Enough for me to be able to be off work and not worry about anything but getting well. I will admit for a greedy moment I envisioned myself going back to work early and partying with the money. I seriously thought I would be off for 2 weeks, spend a few more hanging out, binge watching TV, having lunch with friends, and then back to work.
Not how it happened at all. It was a really awful, terrible, horrible, bad time! I can find fun in anything, but not this. What got me through was not only knowing that because of your generosity, I had the funds to take off work, but knowing so many people cared.
And the messages that came with donations worked better to heal my body and spirit than any of the pain meds I was getting.
Rooting for you, Zen Trainer!

Several people donated to me who aren’t even members of Daily Kos! That blew me away. They just read here and like what I write — especially Woozle Wednesdays.
Thank you all ever, ever, so much! ZT
