Tresa Honaker hasn't added a story.
On January 11th of 2012 while rehearsing with my aerial dance group,
I fell from one of my beloved aerial silks severely injuring my back.
After 10 days in the Sutter Roseville Neurotrauma ICU, and 4 weeks
rehab at California Pacific Medical Center I am now living at home
with my partner Joe Simms in a small apartment in Grass Valley CA made
accessable by local donations.
I dislocated my 9th thoracic vertebrae, shearing my spinal cord,
and suffered 3 broken ribs. They did surgery to re-align my spine and
repair the partially shattered vertebrae. The surgery went well, I
fortunately had an excellent surgeon. Currently I have no feeling from
the waist down. My rehabilitation is being focused on me refusing to
live my life in a wheelchair. I want to walk!
The outpouring of well wishes has been tremendous and uplifting!
I am trying very hard to deal with the situation moment by moment
remaining positive about the future. The pain, which can be
tremendous, is the greater challenge for me right now.
My life has been forever altered. The future adaptation costs
will be significant and I will be unable to work during the
rehabilitation process. There are so many people asking about how they
can help through gifts and fundraising. A donation account has been
established in my home town of Grass Valley in order to help offset
medical and rehabilitation expenses. You can give to this account
through Paypal/Fundrazr or if you prefer to deal directly with the
bank it is at Chase "Tresa Honaker Special Needs Trust".
Please make checks out to Craig Thomas FBO of Tresa Honaker. Monetary
gifts in any amount are dearly appreciated as I am doing specialized
SCI PT in San Jose twice monthly. The cost is just under $3000 each
month and these trips are coming to a close as funds are very very
low. I am looking at setting up some equipment here at home to
continue my PT. My first purchase was a NuStep T4. I have had to
finace it at 9.9% and hope to pay it off quickly.
Thank you all
for the local benefits that have helped me tremendously both
emotionally and financially!
