My Journey Through Illness and Recovery

I must be the indecision king. Sometimes the toughest decisions to me are made completely easy by someone else's gentle touch. In this case, it was my dental hygienist who led me down the path of becoming a complete intellect again, after an almost full recovery from an illness known as viral encephalitis, which is an injury to the brain, that may be fatal.

I wanted to blame myself for every negative decision, but after an eight-year struggle in which my life had nearly been ended by encephalitis and the traumatic brain injury it caused, I wonder "Why me?". It is really almost too hard to explain unless you have had to live it day in and day out.
