Thanks

Thanks to the young doctor. It's comments like that that help me to keep going and getting better. Which hospital were you at? I was in school to be a PT and have even considered taking my MCATS to try med. school. In fact, I was planning on getting my bachelors, which I was only one semester away from (because I'm a dork and took college level classes in high school). I don't know if I could handle it now, so I'm just taking things one step at a time, which is hard for me to do. I'm enrolled in a Community college course now and hope to go back to school, at least part-time, in the fall. I'm sure there will be posts on how that all goes in the future. I have my family, awesome doctors and therapists, and my wonderful boyfriend to thank for how far I've come. I'm a strong-willed person, so I won't let this slow me down! Yes, school will be harder for me, but everything that's happened makes me want to be a part of the medical community even more, even if I am in school for twenty more years. I may have missed two years of school, but I will become involved in the medical community somehow, and a brain injury won't stop me from that! If anything, it makes me want to help other people that have gone through something like this even more.
