more about my reggie wayne

Hmmm lets see,since the last time I wrote I got to see mister reggie wayne=]=]=]=]I went to ricks boatyard again=] it was amazing..i am telling u he really does loove me and I asked him if he has met chad johnsosn he said yes ..our convo:
CASS: I have a random question, have you met chad johnson?
REGGIE: yeah I have
ME: is he as big of jerk as it seems like on tv
REGGIE: neeh he is a pretty good guy
Lol not only did ask him that but I really wanted to know if he had ever met randy moss and he said yes so I told him well next time you see him tell him is my Exboyfriend and regggie was like I will be sure and do that..and its true reggie cares and he is such a sweet heart but randy moss might know I exist and by the way thanks dennis, but he wouldn’t do alll the stuff that reggie does=]
Okay well therapy this week has been-eh soo soo. Same old same old – bleh well that’s alll I just wanted to update ya on reggie!!! And our love yes I said it OUR love …
This week has been so slow cause drew is not coming this weekend and I just want this weeek and next week over so I can drew..he comes home on the 20th so 10 more days;(
Well ttfn
Love always, -cassidy kaitlyn xoxo

midnight bottle gonna drink it down: takes the time away

Okay so since everyone keeps asking me all about therapy ..here it is I will answer most questions
Its like school, each session is 45 mins long with a ten min. break in between I have indidvidual therapies like just me and the therapists for physical, occupational and speech
Physical therapy is just me and Nadeen working on me walking and my strength in my left side…my left arm is working more than it was ..but its still soooo weak and I still call it Gimp
Occupational therapys is me working with Sherrie. She helps me on stuff that deals with everyday things like dealing with money, counting it and how much change I would get back, that kind of stuff so different from the hospital. Well first of all I actually like sherrie and its not focused so much on my left arm.. stuff I had to do in the hospital was just stuff I hated, I hated going soo much!!
Speech therapy works on my volume level which now I talk soo quiet and I will start breathing excercises too
I have group therapies too which I like a bunch..cause all the attention is less focused on just me but we all are working on our own dumbness, which its different with every person ..
We have cognitive group every single mornin and it’s a “class” first thing when we get there that gets our brain starting! We do all kinds of different stuff like organize our memory book(binder we have to bring with us everday)
AWARENESS GROUP: we just learn stuff that most people with a brain injury had trouble with being aware of.. I remember one class the therapist,Vicky, said whats hard to deal with when you are out of it for so long is that what was ever going on before its still going on..like if you were having money problems when you come back awake you still will have money problems
PSYCHOTHERAPY GROUP:this is with the psychatrist, Dr. Klein, and we mainly just sit and talk about whats going on with each one of us like what problems are we facing
MEMORY GROUP:we learn different strattegies on how to remember stuff
LIFE SKILLS GROUP: we plan our outtings, which is every Monday and Friday, we do whats called goal plan do review they say its what we do in our head anyway but now we say all the pieces and fill out a paper.. on all our outtings that I have been on they have been bowling, barnes and noble, and the indiana state musuem ..its just a chance to go out in the community as a group with people that have brain injuries but around other people that don’t have the brain injury
Okay now that I have explained everything..if you have a question and I didn’t answer it just ask me i dont mind
My only other updates are the fact that I can walk again ..i know aunt b already told ya’ll but I just wanted to say it again I have been waiting for forever and if ya know me well .. you might already know this how I named my car Harold and I saw this car that looked just like Harold and it made me so sad ..i miss that car so much I feel like I lost a best friend ..if ya think about it that car has seen me with everysingle emotion and he is always the first thing I go to.. and its been pretty banged up and still stood strong and his life is over just to save mine that’s the way I see it..so people say I might become depressed after the injury and stuff and if I do just know that’s why..my pooor harold is goneL its sooo sad i told my mama what has this world come to..drew is gone until the 20th and my harold is diceast so RIP HaroldL
Alright as my drew says..i will quit rambling lmao I just wanted to have one BIG explanation of therapy instead of answering the same questions a thousand times- so I am out of here ttfn
Until next time..-peace out 2
Adios-cassidy kaitlyn

as drew says rambling....

*UPDATE*
This is Aunt B
Cassidy texted me this afternoon
She got the OK from the doctors to start walking!!!


I have been so sick and just got to feeling better=]
I go to the doctor Friday and if I cant walk out of the doctors office I will be soooo ticked I have already been walking ..to the bathroom to puke and I had to miss going to see reggie again grrrrr not cool at all I do have to go to therapy again tomorrow , which I still havent went a full week this so far I skipped yestarday bc I was up puking all night Monday night =[ and drew might come home this weekend so in so many ways I cant wait for Friday=] I might get to walk and my drew bear is here…
One thing I have noticed I cant cry..never in my life have I wanted to cry so bad I watched ps I love you and it used to make me cry from beginning to end I didn’t even tear up and I have been to celina’s(my sister) grave and did cry =[ so when I finally cry I will be sooo happy that I get to cry granted it might suck so bad what ever happens that makes me cry but the fact that I can cry wont suck=]
If I can walk on Friday I am going to see all my nurses and therapists at the hospital=] yaaaay that’s right I know kristin, my PT, will be so excited ..i went there the other day when I had my ears nose and throat dr. appt to see her how well I am doing on my cruthches but all my nurses were gone and therapists and the ears nose and throat doc said my vocal chords are swollen ..not damaged and she said it could get better with time or my voice might stay like this forever I am so sick of hearing that from doctors… on Friday I will punch that guy if he says that to me he told me by christmas so I think this Friday is good enough
Well that’s all for now ..i know rambling that’s what drew says yepp I rambled on and on but at least I wrote if you have any suggestions on what I should ramble on about email me =]have a good day …ttfn
-love, cassidy kaitlyn=]

REGGIEWAYNE..randy who??

today had to be the BEST night ever ..i got to to go see reggie wayne we went to ricks boathouse and thats where he is every tuesday for a radio talk show!! the only thing i know is he is AMAZZING and even came up to me before he left to give me a hug!!!! and we talked for a bit ... i am telling you i have got to be his number one fan he even signed my crutch!!!! and i got my pic taken with him and i got pictures of us hugging too!! that made my day / life!!!=] thats the only reason i thank god for letting me get injured so bad ...other wise i would never be able to get as close to him!!!!
from reggie to drew- i have not got to write much about him and he has been there for me through everything and i know i will marry him (or reggie)[either one sounds great!] and he is my best friend=] i call him my rock cause no matter what he is there for me and he spoils me soooo much i just love him
i dont have the internet at home so i will only post every once in a while...[blahh]

You can see pictures on my aunts blog HERE.

therapy starts tomorrow--ugh and thanksgiving is next week=] thankfully, and it feels good to be home now....i get to shower on my own and when i come out of the bathroom no more annoying questions from nurses lol and i do however still have to take my shot every morning=/ and my medicine everyday uggggggh
i think thats it idk i get on here but i cant never think of what else to tlk bout
other than that ....sorry peace out!!

just a tad bit=]

am sooo excited=] today is my last day!!!! Finally no more having to deal with this crap here for only one more night…. But I have had the shnuffles the last cpl of days ugh….oh and HUGE news even better than getting out mister reggie wayne emailed me=] he knows the business and that I am his number 1 fan I think I like him even more than randy=] randy moss doesn’t even know I exist…but reggie knows lol=] and I did do a lot Sunday I didn’t mention it before but I went to drews ate lunch his dad made lunch and then we headed out to my aunts and watched the colts there…..today is like sad but still really good I have to go say my goodbyes to everyone…..and theres is some people who is not here that I would like to say goodbye to….like some of my nurses. I just wish I could go back to nomal… like walking and my brain back to work like it used to but I guess that’s why I am still here..but like reggie told me God wouldn’t hand me anything I couldn’t handle…..my therapy has helped a bunch even when I complained about it…physical the most. That other stuff like working with my brain it helps but makes me feel stupid cause I don’t even know where to begin on some of it and then it just discourages me… physical therapy has stretched me out so much…I know I have a long way before I will be completely normal but eventually it will happen it just sucks sitting here and waiting yet working my bum off! Lol - but now I have therapy to go to so ttfn… ta ta for now-there aunt b- (tigger off of pooh bear) oh and i had my outing today .. we went bowling lol idk how but i did do it=] and won!!!!!

2.5 more days

only two more days left of therapy here at least...and the only thing i am gonna miss is -my- nurses the ones i got super close to...and i have already made plans when i get home....and if i have not contacted u and talked about it then email me.....or text me >>>i think thats it...i dont really know what else to talk abou besides i wanna get out of here reallly bad and that i left for the day yestarday- drew picked me up-=] soo ttfn!!!!!

....hmmm

The next week is gonna take soooo long … I cant keep up with this blog cause my lap top in my room wont get to my blog its blocked through my wireless- not to mention I have therapy all day and I know it will be like that when I get out too… practically like a full time job but I will eventually have go back to bdubs to make some money which they will work me aton- and I know I made the 4th floor sound like I hated them but the nurses are nice too at least som of them I have favorites up here too like niko and jeanna and a different brenda, but no one can beat heather and brenda thast for sure- I am telling you being here just sucks ..its like you have to ask to do everything even worse than school – like when I go to the bathroom with a nurse, except niko, the nurse would stay in there until I pulled my pants down and I hate being even kinda nakey infront of someone and my sister said that I would be able to roll around in my wheel chair and if a random person walked by I would be able to say “man, she has seen me nakey” sooooo true. My rule was only brenda and heather could give me a shower that’s when I was on the 3rd floor and the other thing I miss about being there is doctor mims he is soooo nice and always makes me smile A LOT!!!!! I cant wait to leave but I will come back to visit my nurses and stuff A LOT and most of my therapists- and my family has been there for me all along the way… even before the wreck…it takes something like this to see people’s true colors which I am shocked by some

THANK YOU!!!!

i do wanna say thank you to all my nurses and techs that help out, specifically to heather and brenda from the 3rd floor they spoiled me soo much and i love heather!!! brenda has been there for everything and helped me any way possible.. the nurses on the 4th flood i love them too well, most of them and my therapists are awesome ....some i didnt like much and my nurses know who they were heather,i still go see when i get chance and she comes to me as much as she can and i have faves up here to my discharge is super sooon!!! just not soon enough =/ email me or text me so i will stay buusy and if you dont have my number email and i will give it to you if you do text me and i ask who it is its only bc i dont have anyone's anymore

HELLO=]

we had a family meeting today all good news they even changed my "team" which is even closer to getting out!!!! and they even talked about discharge!!! yay- just a little update

AMAZING!!

Isn't it amazing she is blogging, texting and emailing!!! I remember when I started this blog, that was my goal ALL ALONG...I'm still shocked some days it is happening. All she's been through, all she has accomplished...and the road she has yet to go.

Still strong, still smiling and still determined as ever to be independent!

I want to thank all of you again. Friends, family, co-workers, church-goers and complete strangers for thinking, praying and wishing Cassidy to a full recovery. I really, truly believe if it wasn't for all of you, she may have never made it this far. THANK YOU!!

And Cassidy...you are a beautiful, strong, determined little girl, and I am so proud to be your Aunt B.

Keep blogging, and pour your heart out. The people on this blog love you and miss you. They'd love to hear more from you!

Aunt B

email me through this account ... i have therapy all day but at night text me ASAP!!!! i cant sleep lol. ugh and thanks auntB for keep putting blogs up!

YAY..its me cassidy!!!

umm basically the hospital moved my room email me if you have questions!!! ohh and Reggie Wayne should come see me soooon. lol and i made it my personal mission to be out in TWO weeks!! lol

Still going good!

I had a great visit Sunday morning. We just sat and talked. She is doing SO good!! She has moved to ACUTE, which is a giant leap forward. She is in therapy ALL morning and ALL afternoon, and is tired at night.

She is writing, typing and talking all the time! Don't be surprised if you see a blog or an email from her soon. She is DETERMINED to get out of there!! They say she could be out in about 4-6 weeks with outpatient therapy for awhile. She wants to be out 2 weeks!! And boy is she trying =)

Keep an eye on the blog and your email for comments from Cassidy!

Aunt B

Went well...

She got to ride in an ambulance again, how exciting!! Test came back great! Doc said there was no visual signs of bruising, bleeding, etc....nothing. She has a perfectly healthy brain!! What great news!!! A little over a month ago, we sure didn't know what the outcome would be.

She has come so far and is doing so well. Her therapy has been stepped up a bit and she is exhausted. That's good, it helps her sleep better and gets her one step closer to getting out of there!

I'm so proud of you girlie, keep up the good work!!

I promise we will get her on here soon. I've just been busy, busy! And the kids have fall break this week...AHHH!! I have to entertain them....I think I see a visit to Cassidy in our very near future.

Aunt B

More progress and a Doctor Visit

She has graduated in the therapy aspect. She is now doing MORE then EVER! 2 and 3 hour sessions compared to what she WAS doing was about an hour. She is NOT happy about that, but we are. Just another sign she is getting better and better!!

She has a doc visit tomorrow with the Neurologist. She is getting another ambulance ride to Methodist and they are doing a CAT scan. Then meeting with the doctors to find out what they see. Just routine after the damage she has suffered, they are checking on it.

I'll let you know how it goes LATE tomorrow. All of this is happening in the afternoon.

Also, we are trying to get her on the blog, just having some log in issues. As soon as Aunt B can get up there and show her how it works, she will be blogging...can't wait!!

Haven't I said ALL ALONG I couldn't wait until she could read this blog and write in it!! I would of never DREAMED it would be this soon!!!

Aunt B

Not the perfect way to spend a birthday...

but it wasn't bad. She had her favorite meal, B-dubs wings, orange soda and rocky road ice cream. We had cake, but she asked us not to sing =) She got some comfy clothes to wear, and we showed her our tatoos. However, she was on the blog today and knew all about it already!!

That's right, she read the entire blog yesterday. Said it was very nice but made her sad. I am setting it up right now so she can get on her and blog herself real soon!!!

Look for a blog from Cassidy in the next few days!

Aunt B
