ONE MOMENT CHANGES A LIFETIME.

My husband and I were each riding our motorcycles on a beautiful sunny day. A distracted driver (alcohol? drugs? phone?) crossed the center line and hit us head-on. Almost left for dead, I am grateful to the good Samaritans and EMT’s who sustained my life, Flight for Life, and the surgeons at St. Vincent Hospital trauma center who worked to exhaustion to save my life. As a result, my left arm and left leg were amputated. I never envisioned life as a double amputee. I’m still in the healing process, so no prosthetics yet, but learning how to adjust to my new situation. Still lots of tears, but also optimism.
