I am purposely not reporting on any thing about my illness. This weekend was about getting away from my Cancer struggles and taking time to have fun and laugh with old friends. I am so thankful that I am feeling up to these visits now! Four of my old speech buddies from Austin were able to come to Houston for an overnight visit at my house. We all worked together at what used to be called Healthcare Rehab Center in Austin. It now goes by the name of "Texas Neuro Rehab" It was an unusual place in that we had some very difficult patients (many with traumatic brain injury and some were adolescence with severe emotional and psychological issues) to work with,,,,many were patients that were sent to our facility because no other facility in their state could handle them. These patients call this facility home for an extended period of time.
This group of about 10 speech and language pathologist have stayed connected for some 25 plus years. Most of us didn't have children at the time we started working together and now many of our kids are out of college and leaving home! Two of our group have passed away. But there has always been a bond between us that was unexplainable. We just connected, and have stayed connected although many of us have been separated by distance and work environments for numerous years. Here are four of my good friends from Austin and the surrounding area: From left to right:
Cydney, Diana Kim and Barbara. I enjoyed the weekend guys...till our next "girls weekend"!
