Hello Cindi
I want to give you some little advice. Maybe you already now it but I think I have the best solution ever to peaple who are always staring to you.
I have a handicap with my leg, and that's why peaple are sometimes staring to me.
What works the best with me is looking back to them and if they are so bizzy looking to my leg I move a little bit and look to them like a real idiot/morron.
Well, it works here in The Netherlands and also in Germany/Belgium/Austria/French.
Maybe it's also something for you.
Good luck.

When I saw this story air I was shocked and appalled. It makes me sick to think that there are actually people in this world who can do something so awful. And I am so sorry for you Robin, and your sister Cindi.
Cindi's story was very inspirational though. It's incredible that she's been able to keep such a positive attitude and is able to live her life without anger. I don't think there are a lot of people who could handle something like that the way that she has. I don't know if there is a God or not, but I hope that whoever did this to Cindi pays whether it be in this life or the next.
Again, my sympathies.

My story is rather complicated..I believe it all started when I decided to go on birth control just after I got married..I had to try a couple of different brands because they did not agree with my stomach and all, I findally found one that seemed to work for me so I was more than happy to take it.. The beginning of March last year I was up late one night with my mom watching television and I mentioned to her that I noticed my left leg had been kinda swollen for awhile and then I had been leaking what appeared to be water from an old scab wound down by my ankle.My mom looked at it and became quite worried and woke up my dad and my husband, telling my dad that he had to take me down to the emergency room..the doctors looked at my leg down there and told me that they wanted to send me for an ultrasound because they suspected a possible blood clot, so of course by this point I am freaking out..I go and have the ultrasound done and then am sent back to the ER doctor who tells me that they could see the veins closer to the surface but the ones that were deeper they could not see for one of two reasons, A because I did have a clot or B because of my weight.
So then the ER doc tells me well we want to send you for a venogram, come back tomorrow.I come back down the next day with my friend Cathy took me down..Now for those of you who have had one of these done you know what I mean when I say they HURT beyond belief..The doc sticks me twice and I am bawling like a baby, a nurse is in there holding my hand and trying to distract me, the doc then looks up at me and says " April, do you mind if I stick you one more time?" I told him he had one more chance and if he did not get what he wanted to then he was SOL. Low and behold he was able to get the dye into my leg on the last try..When he was done I asked him what he saw. The doc told me that the veins closer to the surface he could see the dye just fine but the ones that were deeper he could not but that it was no reason to be alarmed because he said some people are just wired differently and one cannot always see the deeper veins on everybody. He said that he was 95 percent certain that I did not have a clot..well he then sent me back to the ER doctor who said HE was certain that I DID have a clot and that I needed to go up and see my own doctor..I get into see my own doctor the next day with my mother and he looks over what the docs from the hospital have said and he tells me that he wants to admit me to the hospital..

Today, I cried while watching Jason's story.
I am so well aqainted with his sorrows and anger. Dr. Phil was part of a miracle in his life today(and his wife's life as well).
I know I need a miracle(life has been so hard the past 4/12 years) and I pray you all will receive one (from God above)as well).
Pray, it's our only hope.
And we need to pray for Dr. Phil, that God will keeping endowing him with wisdom adn compassion.

I start to cry cause I'm scared..Later that evening I checked into the hospital..I was there for eight days and shot full of so many different drugs I lost count, the morning after my arrival they hooked me up to an IV and I remember my first thought being " How the hell am I gonna get this d@mn thing into the bathroom with me?" I was also stuck in my stomach with various needles and had baseball sized bruises when I left..for the first few days they did not want me out of bed other than to go to the bathroom and needless to say I was not a very happy camper.
One night at like almost two am, the internist doctor came into see me and we spoke and he told me that he was going to have to rewrite the medical books on me because a lot of my symptoms did not add up..well I did have some of the symptoms of a clot there were others that simply did not coinside with a clot. I've been to see a specialist in edmonton who has told me that I will always have the problem but it can be controlled through what he called compression wraps which he said should bring my leg back to the same size as my other one because right now my left leg I have been told is like fifty pounds heavier than my right..It makes it extremely hard for me to walk for more than a few minutes and most days I ache constantly because the rest of my body is thrown out of whack by trying to compensate for my leg.I'm now on warrafin for an indefinete amount of time, I could be on it for years they tell me..as long as my body can handle it..So now a year later I still do not know exactly what happened but my suspicions go back to the birth control I was put on..Sorry to everyone for this being so long but I hope it might help someone else.
Jason and Cindi, I understand where you both are coming from..My leg is 40-50 pounds heavier than my right one making it extremely difficult to walk..I too have people that stare at me and I feel like crying on a daily basis..I can hope that maybe Dr Phil or Robin will read this message themselves and perhaps have some ideas for me

You probably have a condition called lymphedema in your leg. You need a special kind of program called "decongestive therapy" (DCT) usually treated by physical therapists with a doctor's order. This therapy consists of special compression, skin care, and exercises. It works GREAT! Good luck!

Some people are so sick they can just come in and wreck your life - that is not fair! But I guess some people have enough strength to deal with it. I think you have to be a certain type of person very strong willed and able to forgive and patient to be able to get over terrible things like these stories. It makes me sad and frightened to think something like this could happen to me or someone I know and it just proves how we have no control over our lives or what may or may not happen. You just never know do you?!

Kudos to you Dr.Phil for helping such a deserving person as Jason and his family. To be put through such a horrible ordeal all because he was doing his job protecting the citizens of his town. Jason you are an incredibly brave and courageous person! You should be so proud of yourself for what you have accomplished, as I'm sure your family is of you too! I was so touched to hear your story. And my heart swelled when Dr. Phil stepped up and so generously offered his help. And wow! What help it was! Good for you Dr. Phil for putting your heart into your work! And to you Jason, (and family), good luck, and God Bless You All.

Hi. My life was forever changed by your program on "Random Acts of Violence" I have been having a pity party since my husband, of 35yrs, passed away four years ago. God has blessed me over and over and over again. He even has given me a new husband and a new life in a new state. BUT...I have been in the midst of a pity party for as long. I have mumbled and grumbled because my WHOLE life has changed. I am ashamed to say I am a born-again Christian, and should know better too. I was so humbled by your guests that I have determined to think about them and what they have gone through, before I start even "thinking" about complaining. They are just super people. Thank you so much for bringing them into our lives and hearts. And thank you so much for doing for the police officer what the "company" should have done. You are the best!!!!!!

I agree with the above. I just read about you on Dr. Phil's site. I tape Dr. Phil every day but have not had a chance to catch up. You are a very brave man and I am sorry that you have to put up with cruel human behaviour. In your case you sure don't know the people you work with. How can they turn their backs on you and your wife. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!! I was thrilled to hear that Dr. Phil is going to help you with the reconstructive surgeries. WHAT A BLESSING FOR YOU! He is a great person and I wish you and your wife all good luck in the future. I look forward to an update show when you come back. YOU ARE A COURAGEOUS YOUNG MAN AND YOU SHOULD BE VERY PROUD OF YOURSELF! Janet, Ontario Canada

I would like to offer this explanation of the abandonment by your department. I believe they see their own mortality when they meet up with you. It is hard to deal with, to actually face the real possibility that it COULD be THEIR day and THEY are the victim. It is very REAL to THEM. I am not part of the law enforcement community but I experienced the "abandonment" of tens of friends when my husband died....all those who had similar heart problems had a hard time even looking at me. At 1st I felt bad for me....then when I realized (their faces went white, really, they were so freaked) it wasn't ME but their OWN mortality....it made it so much easier. Maybe this is the answer for real. Dr. Phil consider this answer. Best of wishes to you both-you are really doing great. My prayers for you and all those you know. Hang in there....

Not Abandonment

I have to agree with mthornes. I don't believe that Jason's co-workers are that heartless. Besides the mortality issue that is faced by people in law enforcement, I'm sure Jason's co-workers and "former" friends may be dealing with guilt. I'm always afraid of saying something stupid to someone who has suffered a great loss or tragedy and tend to feel sometimes that it is better off to not say anything or avoid the situation. I can see from Jason's experience, that it is probably better off to take that risk. I know from personal experience that "abandonment" is a terrible feeling. I hope that Jason's co-workers will maybe respond to this heart's cry.

I agree so totaly with your statment pbyrd83. I thought the cops were thick as theives pardon the pun.. I think Dr Phill should have had some member of the police Dept. where Jason worked on the show to explain the lack of careing and lack of invlovment in this whole matter. I thought when one of there own was down the entire dept would rally around with support and willingness to help the wife while he was in the hospital at least. I wish the Dept could be exposed so they would know better if something were to happen to another officer. Any way you slice it this is wrong and the Dept should be exposed..

Deputy Jason's Department was there and so was other law enforcement departments in the area when jason was Shot. The community Jason and his family lived in rose to the occassion and raised money for the families affected by the tragedy. The problem is not in the caring at the beginning, it is the lack of continued compassion and help. Life goes on for us all as well as for the injured, with one major difference. The injured face the tragedy daily and don't get the opportunity to forget what happened. Deputy Jason had to relive the incident daily as well as face the damage that a 12 gage shotgun can do to a face from about 10 feet away. in our treatment of others we don't need to defend where we may have gone wrong, we are not perfect, we need to move forward with the knowledge taken from the learning experience and change where we need to change. Dr Phil has said, Get rid of the anger it is toxic. We need to stop the blame game and armed with this new knowledge lets all work to change this for the future, for ourselves and others. Next time you see someone who has suffered an injury or disfigurment, don't turn away, look at them in their eyes and see them for the people they are, and acknowledge them with a kind word. Everyone in the world be be better off. Please don't forget your friends.

Questions about the show
Posted by: cocabov
Posted on: 2005-04-14 09:29:51
My friend and I just finished watching the show and we had a few questions. First off with Jason, did the man who shot him ever get prosecuted, and the woman who called him for the domestic assault, did she ever contact Jason to tell him thank you for coming to the scene? With Cindi, did they ever catch the people who hurt her?

For Jason

Posted on: 2005-04-14 09:48:06
After seeing Jason on the show, I felt strongly that he should hear how many people truly admire what he has done for his community, for his state, for his country. I would never want to be a police officer because of the dangers involved, but I am truly grateful that there are braver souls than I, who are willing to put their lives on the line every day, to keep us safe. I admire his courage so much, and the devotion of his wife. I am a survivor of violent crime, and thank God for the police force in my area, that I could pick up a phone, and police officers came to my aid, risking their lives for a person whom they had never met. I am horrified that Jason's fellow officers, his "brothers", seem to have abandoned him and his family, after he sacrificed so much. Jason , I hope that you discover that you have a larger, most grateful community, after your appearance on the Dr. Phil show. THANK YOU for what you have given us.

After seeing Jason on the show, I felt strongly that he should hear how many people truly admire what he has done for his community, for his state, for his country.
