Today is July 23rd,2002 almost 5yrs, since my bad day (accident). I'm still in a wc which lets me get to any where I wish to get without help! I do some walking with a walker though I need to know someone is behind me just incase I fall which that awful thing has not happened to me as yet (hoping it really never does) but hey u can't always know.

I'm had aides for all thou didn't like any of them. they helped me thou I still didn't care for them!I don't have any aides today besides Kim (my personal aide) that comes in MON, TUES AND THURSDAY for 4hrs to help me with things Mom use to do and it gives Mom a break from worrying about little ole me. haha. But no really! I use my walker everyday when I have to use the bathroom which keeps my limbs working. My 2 friends that stayed after my accident are still my friend ( NO, THEIR MY SISTERS,I NEVER HAD). I've met alot to TBI friends from this beautiful site. I'm the same girl I was before the accident Just don't have the balance like before to walk thou I keep trying to get it back. smiles & hugs

Hello my name is Vicki my story began in Sept 21,1997.

On that day I was on my way with my son (JESSE) to help my mother watch her booth at the fair. ( She sells PRINCESS HOUSE which is a Home Party plan)as we were gone our way we past the QT and was hit by another that was on the other side of the road, IT WAS NOT MY FAULT, though I was the only one to get hurt.I was an a coma for 4 months I don't remember any of that time,I do remember my 2nd mom(who had died about 6 months earlier told me everything was going to be all right) was told my boys,my mom,dad came bye the hospital every day to see me.My older brother and ex stayed about a week while I was still in the coma. When I had come out I had alot of visitors even Jane my friend who had lost her mother, today Jane is like a sister to me before she was a good friend. I have 2 brothers so it was nice having a sister. Today she has 2 boys like me though her boys live in FLA. Life has been really hard for me being in a wheelchair and not being able to go went I want to. Though my mom takes me where I need to go. I'm a miracle to be alive and thank god and my parents for my 2nd life.
