Life can change in a blink of an eye. On Dec. 28, 2006, I was headed to work as a home health nursing manager when another driver lost control and crossed the center line. I tried to drive out of his path, but the poor weather and road conditions prevented it, and we collided nearly head on. I was transported via ambulance to a nearby hospital with extensive injuries and in critical condition. Due to the extent of my injuries and traumatic brain injury, my family was told that I may not survive.
