Yesterday Andie had another follow up appointment with the neurosurgeon who performed her surgery back in January and after everything checked out alright he said "you're a very, very lucky girl" - she made a point of mentioning that he used two verys -and " Go out and live your life... and make it count". Hard to imagine what that must be like to literally have these patients' brains in your hands and see them and talk to them days and months later.
She's already said that she wants to do something to give back to Good Shepherd Rehab Hospital. Even though the aphasia is always going to be an issue and she still stumbles in her speech and has to stop to think of words she realizes the odds that she overcame to get to this point.
Today she's off to the shore for an overnight trip with a girlfriend - guess she IS getting out there...
