About Me


Banner by MySpace Banners.org
I'm just a regular gal who in March 2001 was afflicted with a neurological disorder known as Transverse Myelitis which is very similar to Multiple Sclerosis (and occurs to between 1 to 5 people per million). The difference between the two is simple: instead of multiple leisons on the membrane of my spinal cord, I only have one and will not have any recurring episodes. This all started with a simple Upper-respiratory infection that I couldn't get rid of. While attending Texas Tech Uni., I awoke one morning with a stabbing pain in my back. My hands closed and my arms went numb and within 45 minutes I couldn't move from the chest down. I spent 3 months in the hospital regaining what strength I could, and now five years and many physical therapy sessions later,I am walking, driving, and doing everything I want (except running, jumping, and tying my shoes). I have no grip in my hands and due to my inability to move my left ankle up and down I wear a leg brace. I continue doing physical therapy 3 days a week and am feeling pretty good. I have graduated from college and plan to go to grad school in the Spring of '07. Since I've had TM, I've become pretty inventive and I now take nothing for granted.
