This book has been eight years in the making. It is mostly a jumble of thoughts written down in old spiral notebooks and hidden in the bottom drawer underneath various manuals for software packages and hardware long since turned obsolete.
From street survivor to care provider - I literally broke my neck to get through college ... Dreams came true!
Background
Information
After an eventful four year recovery from critical injury, I practiced occupational therapy for twenty years and participated in adapted sports, including water and snow skiing. Influenced by the unique perspective inherited from being a patient - health care professional, my writing allows me the chance to effect the healthcare system - one reader at a time. When the keyboard is tapped, humor must be injected into all circumstances.
