Congresswoman Gifford is improving greatly in the Houston rehab facility. Maybe soon we will see a picture of her or see her in person soon. I continue to pray for her recovery. Nobody deserves being attacked or shot in a public outing but it continues to happen since president Lincoln was shot many years ago.

As long as we have guns and freedom to carry them people will continue to kill people all over the world.

I just wish we all had the insurance to get the therapy need for all stroke survivors to recover as this congresswoman is doing. I know there are clinics in every state that can save people from life long suffering from strokes with more intense treatments and therapy.

Even the football concussion injuries are treated in Houston or in Florida at these specialized clinics and those guys are able to walk and talk again. You would think it would be available to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. What's more important, money or life? Where would we be if the paramedics came to take us to the hospital but refuse to do that when they discover we are not able to pay for their services??

Until strokes and heart attacks are no longer happening to people, we should be able to be treated at the best facilities available if we have the proper insurance or not! But that's down the road aways.

Until then we pray to have survivors of strokes and we can and do recover as best we can with the little therapy we do receive until our insurance stops paying. When you really think about those procedures, it's a sad thing we face in life!

So, there is really no life as usual like we were before the stroke. We will have some form of ailments for the rest of our lives and if some of us don't, we are truly blessed. But our lives goes on day by day with the hopes of us getting back to normal in our minds! :big_grin:
