This Man Called Mr Beast

Dear Mister Beast,

    I am a grand mother from Georgia,  and my grand children were home when I suffered a stroke.  These two took the lead from me and saved my life.  By contacting our 9-1-1 fire department dispatch, and making sure to lay out our address and phone number clearly,they made me so proud. By even putting our dog in his kennel to keep him from following the paramedics, as he loves chasing anything loud.  

With in minutes our little neighborhood was filled with neighbors, friends, family and fire trucks and ambulances.  I did not see home for the next year, as healing from the stroke took longer than expected.   But a great rehab center happened to be taking new patients near by.  I went to Walton Rehab center and did the the 60 day push.  True to their word, I left about 60 days later.  I was thrilled to be with my  friends  and family.  However, it wouldn't last for long.  In fact I was home exactly one day when I fell.  This fall would not only send me back to the hospital, but cause a small brain bleed. 

I would be sent to a skilled nursing home, Keysville, Ga.  The year I spent there was filled with therapy. Being far from home was difficult.  So when I was offered the chance to come here I took it.  I was supposed to be closer to home, able to see my grand children more, and more better therapy.   This is Lake Crossing.  And there is little to be happy about here.  The food is not edible. The employees are lacking proper training.  The company just sold to The Reserves at Appleing.  Like any place there are some good and some bad. But as the payee of my bills here, I am finding this place,  less and less desirable.

I have been in three nursing homes and one Rehab center.  Pruitt, Keysville, Walton's Way, and Lake Crossing.  I have worked hard enough that I have been able to return to church and Sunday's at my sister's home.  But I lost my housing, the only reason I am still here and not gone home yet.  I have a short list of needs in my small home,  like clothes racks lowered to reached the closet better and the kitchen counters lowered.  I  know this seems like such a demand, but I can afford a small mortgage.   I need to return to  volunteering for Special Olympics, traveling with the team, fundraising, my granddaughters dance recitals, birth days, school programs, and my family.  

Thank you for your time,

I Really Need To Go Home, Please Consider A Tax Deductible Donation,Please

Christmas 2023 did not bring happiness or joy, but sadness and fear.  As we tied bows on the Christmas fudge and roasted pecans preparing then to mail to family and friends.  

    My left arm went numb, followed by my left knee buckling under me.  Before I knew it, I was on the floor with my arm between the hot oven and the cupboard beside it.  I was in a dangerous situation,  But my grandchildren knew how to help and not become

scared by the fire department or EMT's .

  

    Before long our little neighbor hood was overrun with neighbors, friends, family and emergency personnel.The children were told  that they had done every thing right And saved Nana. 

    I have the double Factor V Leiden gene, so I am on blood thinners for the rest of my life. luckily was found in my early adulthood.

The First picture of mt after my stroke,
This was taken around Feb. 15th, 2024,
The first time I sat up in bed on my own.
Co-vid caused shortages in supply of materials needed to produce the swings to carry people. 

  I have missed so much being here.  New babies born, dance recitals, all the holidays, birth days,weddings, church programs,graduations, and helping my son's Special Olympic team are examples of some of the many things I have missed so much.

 

This  is where you can help.  I lost my housing after the stoke.  And am working on find raisers to make enough to make build a small home, built to suit my special needs.  Any help would be appreciated .

                                    This is my first day

                                     at Walton's Way for

                                     for more intensive 

                                     therapy.
