I’m a mom of two teenagers and one mutt. I am married to a very nerdy Engineer. ❤️

Almost seven years ago I suffered a chemical brain and nervous system injury from a common antibiotic. I was left bed-bound for 18 months. It left me permanently disabled. I have been in and out of a wheelchair since and unable to drive.

BUT I learned so many things from this experience. How isolating disability can be. How people leave. How much we can endure.

And MOST importantly, sometimes it just takes one person who will listen. Not judging. Not giving advice. Not patronizing.

There were SO many days I didn’t have one person to talk to. It’s hard for others to witness our suffering sometimes.

I’m here to listen and give comfort if I can. ❤️
