Adrienne the "Christmas miracle"

I am Adrienne and it's been almost 22 years since my accident. It all happened in 1979... I was ten... September 13th to be exact... I had just jumped up on this horse... without a helmet or my boots on. When the horse saw a manure spreader ... He spooked and you can probably geuss what happened next... I flew off him into the manure spreader... My head hit the piece of machinery and I suffered a right frontal hematoma (which is: (Bleeding inside the brain.)

I lost a fifth of my brain in that incedent and was in a coma for three and a half months. My left side was totally paralyzed and I am completely blind on my left side. I am proud to say that I have gotten some gross movements back in my left side and I can walk on my own. Not for very long distances though. "Oh well..." That's my favorite saying now! Anyway... I'm almost 32 now and I have a boyfriend now... We love eachother which is totally of new for me.
