In Her Own Words

"I know many of you may be surprised seeing me in a wheelchair. Well, welcome to another chapter of my life... For several months now, I have lost my freedom to move around as I please. It started as something minor, very minor, but eventually led to this. The pain became excruciating. Sometimes I can walk, and sometimes I can't move."
