dren, but also from neigh-
bors, friends and their
church family at M,t. Rose
Church of God in Christ in
Barrett Station.
"Someone was always
there for us," Mrs. Jenkins
said. "Especially the
neighbors. A lot of the
things we needed we need-
ed quickly. I'd call for help
from a neighbor and they
would be right there. They
werewonderful."
.Three years of various
kinds of therapy “brought
about hard-earned
changes. Constant
improvements, small and
large, kept Jenkins going.
His speech improved, as
did* his physical capabili-
ties.
His wife constantly
urged him to believe in
himself and to trust in
(iod.
Believe is. after all. one
of Mrs. Jenkins favorite
words. It can he found on
(lie couple’s mailbox, in
artwork on their walls,
even on a purse that she
carries.
"Believe in yourself
because if you don't
believe in yourself, who
will.’" he said. "That's
what she kept telling me."
Jenkins' speech contin-
ued to improve He
learned to walk again, theii
began driv ing again.
It was Mrs. Jenkins who
came up with the idea that
lie should take some class-
es at Lee College.
“Our pastor always says
to think outside the box."
she said. “I knew Leslie
needed a challenge, some-
thing he would enjoy that
would be something new
to work towards besides
all the physical therapy
We'thought outside the
box and came up with Lee
College.”
Jenkins, who retired
from DuPont after 33 years,
after rising from an opera-
tor position to planning,
scheduling and supervis-
ing. had taken one year of
college at Prairie View
University back in 1971. ~
“Then I eloped with
Sharon and I had to go to
work." he said.
"Going back to college
after' all these years was
hard at first. There were all
those young kids and then
there was me, 59 years old
and slow talking (because
of the stroke). But then I
got back in the groove.
Alter conferring with an
academic advisor, Jenkins ’
signed up for Lee College
class in voice and diction
because it could help him
with his still recovering abil-
ity to speak plainly, and he
took a course cal led "Intro to
? Computer Maintenance."
Lie got that "A" in the
speech class and the "B" in
the-computer class.
"For years I worked
with computers, but I did-
n’t really know how they
worked." he said. “I'm
learning that now.’
He plans to keep going
and earn a degree in com-
puter maintenance.
That grade report is
proof that he is oh his Way.
The Jenkins said they
got a lot of luMp from Lee
College personnel along
the way..
Lee College associate
dean Rosemary Coffman,
who worked with handi-
capped students for many
years before taking this
position, said Jenkins
should be proud.
"1 think sometimes the
biggest hurdle for people
w ith disabilities is just get-
ting started," she said
“That can be a huge step
for them."
“What Leslie has done is
a wonderful accomplish-
ment. It is opening up a
whole new world for him.
I just helped him sign up
for his next semester." *
Lee College is seeing a
great increase in the num-
ber of veterans coming
back to college after mili-
tary serv ice, many of them
with physical and emo-
tional disabilities.
“Lee College has always
been happy to welcome
students with disabilities
and help them to accom-
plish their goals."
"The way we see it. they
are students first ... they
just happen to have dis-
abilities."
The Jenkins hope
Leslie’s story will inspire
others in a v ariety of ways.
First, they want people
to know that a doctor’s
prognosis isn't always the
last word
"Put your faith in (iod
first, then in the doctors."
they said.
Also, they hope people
planning their' retirements
will remember to prepare
for the unexpected.
"You plan and plan. You
plan everything for your
retirement, but people
don’t tend to plan for sick-
ness,” said Mrs Jenkins.
"Something like what hap-
pened to Leslie can be
devastating ... that first
year, well, lie doesn’t
remember a lot of it, but it
is a year I’ll never forget
"Don't give up." said
Jenkins. "That something
people should know. II
solneonc tells you that you
“can’t" do something, try
it anyway It can take a lot
of work and a lot of time,
but you just might prove
them wrong."

HEALTH
FACTS
WHAT DO SWOLLEN
GLANDS MEAN?
. Swollen glands always mean something. What
people worrv about is that they can mean a cancer,
such as lymphoma. Fortunately, tumors are a
rare cause of swollen glands. The vast majority of
swollen glands are (he result of the body fighting
an infection or allergen. The glands enlarge and
usually become tender as they make celts and
antibodies that fight infection. ,
The neck is the most common place for swollen
glands. When there are swollen glands in the back
half of the neck, the cause is usually a virus. When
a swollen gland does not appear to be due to an
infection, it should be checked by your doctor. Also
any gland that does not return to normal in a couple
weeks should be checked. For any suspicious
gland, further evaluation and a biopsy can be done
if necessary.
For more information on swollen glands or
services provided by San Jacinto Methodist Hospital
please call 281-420-8812.

OVERLAPPING
SENSES
New research holds out hope
that scientists may someday be
able |o help hearing- impaired in
dividual* supplement their hear
ing with their sense* of touch; Sci
enlists have found that the senses
not only work together, but they
can override one another In es-
sence. ibis means people can see
with their ears, hear w ith their
eyes, or heal with their touch
With lip reading ax an example
of this sensory phenomenon, it
is easier JO underxtand that
tists were able to help individuals
better identify sound by rernforc
mg certain sounds with a puff of
air on their skin It is hoped that
this finding may be used to trans-
late a speaker Yvoice into tactile
signals that can help hearing-tin
paired individuals to hear.
Our primary mission at TEX-
AS PROFESSIONAL HEAR
