This blog is about my on-going recovery from a traumatic brain injury, I chose to write about my experiences with the hope that my story will help someone else who may be facing something similar. My story is not meant to make you sad or scared, I will warn you that there are photos from my lengthy stay in the hospital and the photos are somewhat disturbing...my wish is that this story brings you hope!

Book Quotes:Friendship
Have you been lucky enough to find a great friend? I can happily say that I have found many. I have ladies in my life that make me laugh, these ladies can find the funny in just about anything. These are the friends I know I can turn to when things get too rough or if I start feeling down about this perilous journey of recovering from a TBI (traumatic brain injury). I honestly don't know where I would be today without such lovely friends. I also feel blessed to know that my sister is not just my sister, she is my friend. She celebrates my successes and mourns my failures. She came out to Hawaii when I was injured and she has been such a good source of support and strength throughout this messy journey. Here friends is where I will extend my thanks and my undying gratitude for standing by my side and willing me to get better when I couldn't even open my eyes. You make a difference in my life and for that I will always hold you dear to my heart.

"someone who looks effortlessly put together. one of those rare gals who women and men gravitated toward; the type of person my mother's generation would call lovely. Try as you might to find some reason to dislike her, you simply couldn't. She was intelligent, articulate, giving, and poised, with a wicked sense of humor."
