Then on 4-18-00 all that changed,forever. We were in L.A. on the way back from doing a concert, it was rainy,foggyand very windy. It was hard to see the car in front of you, (or so I was told). Well I don't know all details og accident, butour car rolled over several times. I ended up with severe brain injury and internal injuries. I almost died several times. I was in a coma for 3 months. I went thru several surgeries, due to the internal injuries.They took out my spleen and pancreas. I came out of the coma in july, they then sent me to Rehab center in New Haven Ct. there i had to learn everyting all over again. just as a baby does. I progressed very well to the point i was semi independant. I couldnt be alone.I was making new progress i even was in workshop program, where I work with peaple at places and was doing good. But a week ago all that changed once again. i got a set back,due to fluid build up in my brain and digestion problems, due to my not having a pancreas. Now im in Rehab center again. I gotta learn much over again. My motor skills and all.muscle control,coordination, everything. this web helps me communicate, because i cannot write or talk to well.

But I'll get it all back again. I try not to think of what I have lost, but what i will gain. i am still a survivor and i will get better.

If I can help someone else, please E-mail me.

Never give up!! because, as long as there's life? there's hope!!
