The ten days most intense of my life to date. A rollercoaster of emotions. Fear, confusion, sadness, and grief took over my body and my mind. I was terrified I would never be able to move my left arm and leg with strength again. I stared out the hospital window thinking of all the things I still wanted to do and experience.
