Five minutes changed my life forever...On October 4, 2018, I left my house five minutes early to head to work. A mile later, I was in a harrowing car accident that nearly took my life and sent me to the ICU with a fractured vertebrae. I spent the next two weeks in the hospital learning to walk again. This book chronicles my struggles, the compassion of others around me, my desire to be independent again, and healing as fast as I could while maintaining my humor along the way. For those who have had major surgery or chronic illness, I hope you find hope, inspiration, and the determination to keep moving forward. You are strong and will get through this.
