Its crazy to think about how when a traumatic event happens, some of the friends you expected to be there, arent. Even worse, some of the friends that were there for you for a split second make a complete 180 degrees and cut you out of their lives. Ive spent too much time upset, angry, crying...but now I realize I dont need these people. The people that I need are the ones who were by my side immediately through this nightmare that will haunt me for the rest of my life, including my friends, my family that loved me and continues to love me and begged me to live because the thought of living without me (and the thought of ME living without them) was terrifying. And then the people who I havent seen/talked to in years, and even strangers who I have never met before, reaching out to me, sending me texts and Facebook messages (which, btw, if I didnt respond I apologize, A) I have received so many that I lose track but I have read all of them and they have touched my heart, and B) due to my brain injury I have whats called neuropathy and hyperreflexia in my hands and feet which is incredibly painful and annoying which makes it hard to type!) Anyways, I may have made some bad choices in my life, may have took things for granted, may have wasted time on friends who didnt treat me fairly...but this was an eye opening experience for sure, and Im ready to start a new life (which includes pursuing my registered nursing license! Yes even 15 days in the ICU didnt scare me away!). Thanks to all of my friends, all my family, all the people who have newly appeared in my life and supported me through this, and for all my nurses, doctors, and staff at North Suburban who, even though the odds were DEFINITELY not in my favor, saved my life. I Love You Guys!
