My Christmas Wish
My name is Curtis Bridges. I am 50 years old. I have been happily married for 32 years.
On March 17, 1999, while working as a superintendent for a large underground utility contractor out of Denver CO (Texas Division) I suffered a "Giant Basilar Aneurysm" requiring emergency surgery and leaving me paralyzed. Coming out of surgery and after a month in "ICU" the only movement I had was the ability to blink my left eye.
Originally being from Jefferson City, MO and having two sons and many relatives there, I was flown back to MO, by an air ambulance for eight months of extensive "inpatient therapy" and one year of "outpatient therapy" where I regained partial use of my left hand and learned to talk again (though not very well). So here I sit, today confined to a wheelchair. I was fortunate to be left without any "memory loss".
All this time, my wife has stayed by my side and through her unyielding love has been able to get me out of bed and into my wheelchair every morning and back to bed every night. She has done this without concern of what it could be doing to her own body.
Recently, she has been having hip and back problems. My wish for her is a rechargeable ceiling lift as used in many nursing facilities. This would not only help her by saving her from not putting so much strain on her back and hips, but on her health in general.
Thank you, and Merry Christmas

If the program were still on, I would ask Ms. Grant to set up a meeting between me & Kathleen Sebelius. I want to meet Ms. Sebelius someday. I admire her a lot because she is very caring, is immersed in Latin, & reminds me of a nice lady I met a few years ago that treated me like family even when I had just met her.
