It wasn't easy, but I'm still here ...

0 Replies

My 7 day Coma and Multiple Organ failure was due to my choice to use Bourbon instead of Opioids for the pain of my 2nd broken back.

My healing took 5 years due to homelessness after being released from the hospital.

After my release from the hospital 3 weeks later, I could not afford hospice care, so my rehabilitation was in parks & my '95 Toyota by myself.

I used Chakra healing chants, herbs, vitamins, and meditation after regaining my strength living in a motel.

I am SO VERY GRATEFUL I survived.

My only problem after I regained consciousness was a hernia near my bellybutton which was finally repaired 6 years later once it erupted, I have GERD as a result.

If you see me today, I look slim & healthy and show no outward scars of my very traumatic ordeal.
