HOW I GOT HERE...

MY AILMENT
​
I was diagnosed with a SUB-DURAL HEMATOMA on October 10, 2017.  I had no known accident, injury, or fall leading up to the hematoma.  My surgeries included multiple craniotomies to drain the blood from my skull surrounding my brain, a decompressive craniotomy which was the temporary and partial removal of my skull, the installation of a ventilator and then the installation of a tracheotomy to breathe, the installation of a PEG tube to feed, and induced coma.  After the first night and the first 2 surgeries, I was given 24-48 hours to live.  Tom told Annie the doctors did not know my ability to survive. Well, almost 1 year later, here I am.  And Tom was right...the doctors did not know me. And you, do not know me. But I want you to know me, what I have to offer you and your loved ones and, most of all, what I want to offer my loved ones, especially Tom and Annie.

Let me start by saying that I was a very successful person of 59 years. I was not even supposed to survive my own birth. The doctors told my father as they prepared my mother for an emergency C-section that they could save my mother but they could not save the unborn child. Well, I proved those doctors wrong too!  

I want to share as much as I can with you and that includes my thoughts and ideas on therapies and moves. I decided to start with one of my leg exercises because it is important to me to be able to walk unattended and rely little on a walker or cane (eventually).
