Hello everyone! I'm going to make this as short as possible. Last month ObesityHelp got together with Entertainment Tonight and told them about Jeremy. They came and filmed Jeremy for a segment last Wednesday (which I don't know when it will be aired yet--I'll let you know as soon as I know). Anyway, even sweeter is they brought Richard Simmons! You should have seen his face when he saw Richard walk through that door... it was priceless! We have done 3 radio shows with Richard (and another one on February 12 on Sirius Radio), but he never thought he would ever get to meet him. Richard is So outgoing and positive and upbeat... just like you see on television. He was a blessing to Jeremy. It was the push he needed. Richard interviewed Jeremy for ET and then he interviewed me. They made a meal just for the two of us. Richard brought balloons, a flower basket and a basket with soaps and fragrances for me. It was so sweet. His make-up artist even did my make-up that day and I felt so pretty. The whole day was perfect and I couldn't have asked for anything more. He even took the time out to visit every room and made every residents' day one to remember. I think he has definitely made a positive impact on our lives. Richard even sat down with us and we talked about dieting and personal issues. He said he wants to send Jeremy information on his diet... until then we started a low-calorie diet together as of yesterday. I'm in love with two men now :) The next big news is... Jeremy is finally home~! Yay! We've been away from home for 14 1/2 months. The transition went very smooth and I can see a glow in Jeremy now that I couldn't see in a nursing home or a hospital room. I know now that things will only get better and better. He still cannot walk, but a wheelchair will be here any day to conitinue sitting him up. In-home nursing is set up to start soon as well as physical and occupational therapy. I promise, with his cooperation, he will walk again. Now, it's time for me to go... I have a lot of unpacking and reorganizing to do (it's amazing how much stuff I have accumilated in the past year). I will keep you all posted and I will definitely let you know as soon as possible when Entertainment Tonight will be on. Thanks to all of you who made that blessed day possible!
love,
Robbi
