Gabby Gifford before
Gabby - after the shootingWasn't it great to see the shear determination that Gabby exhibited during the films of her rehab? We all needed to see that touching story. She is really an inspiration. I also wanted to give a shout out to the medical staff that helped her along the way. My father had four strokes before he passed away. The first stroke caused him total paralysis on his right side. His therapists brought him all the way back to walking and speaking. They pushed him hard and he had a positive outlook. That was the secret to his success. One of his physical therapists actually visited him at home just as a friend. That was extreme dedication. I applaud the medical staff that helped Gabby regain her speech and her mobility.
You all know how I dislike guns. Thank god we have someone that has fought back from a terrible tragedy. I hope that some of the families of the victims can derive a ray of hope from Gabby's story.
