Donny Winn | Taste of Independence and freedom at Casa Colina
Well yesterday I actually I got a little taste of independence sense I have been here at Casa Colinar Rehabilitation Center. I was just sitting in my room bored and said screw it. I might as well go do something, so I sat there thinking on what I can do and I figured either I can sit here on the computer or actually wheel myself around and get some therapy so I welled myself around in the hospital and rehabilitation center. So for once I was able to taste a little freedom. I have no clue what’s gotten into me yesterday; I guess the reason is that I’m just getting sick of sitting in my room all day. It felt so good to have some of my independence back. And trust me I paid the price from it today because my arms are so worn out. Ha-Ha but hey on the bright side. I slept really good last night!

Hey Donny,
You’ve ALWAYS been a rebel!! And I’m sure you always will be. I can’t wait to hear how your move goes to TLC. You are touching sooooooooo many people with your story.
I love you!

Hi Donny,
I work with your Aunt Theresa ( whom I dearly love) at La Sierra High School. She told me your heartbreaking story and has shown me your website. You are a truly remarkable man to have come through all that you have and to be such an inspiration to others. I admire you for telling your story and your website is amazing. It has brought tears to my eyes several times. Be strong….your family and friends (even those you don’t know) are praying for your quick and successful recovery. I am glad I met you through your story and maybe someday I can meet you in person.
God Bless You,
Kristi
Don’t Give up Donny, you’re doing so well! it will take time for you to get better. I’m taking a vacation from work, i want to come see you. am i allowed to?
Dear Donny
Don’t just sit in the room or watch tv or sit in front of the computer. You are so lucky to be able to get out of the room by yourself. Work out those arms so you can keep going all days. And you won’t stay at the rehab forever so take advantage of a chance that you can get there.
Lots of TBI patient had to fight to the last nail to get to rehab. make them proud.

Hey there bud, over time it get’s easier. I was in a t-bone accident in Colorado 12 years ago. I would like to say it’s been easy and I did it on my own, but that would be a lie. It’s been a long hard process. And I could never have gotten were I am now without GOD’s help, so keep up the struggle, and GOD bless you
