Elizabeth's Story
Hi Everybody,
Now, I am practically fully recovered from 2 strokes during 7 brain surgeries in 1990. What a scary, yet interesting journey it has been. What I learned from it all, though, it was worth it!
In this gorgeous 2nd life I have now, it is incredible extra ordinary.
My husband, Vincent Kane, I feel he was sent from Above to me! He is the most honest, generous, decent and loving man that I ever met.
For over 20 years, after my TBI, I have done volunteer services at both Lutheran General Hospital and at
Marianjoy Rehabilitation Centers. Late in 2018, I got a position as a CSA at a Walgreen in AH!
When I go into a patient's room,
I tell them a little bit about my story, so they might have more of an easier time telling me THEIR stories. I tell them that I was 1/2 paralyzed, blinded, and I could not walk, talk etc.. So I tell the patients 'If I can make it.....why can not YOU, too????' I tell ...Expand for more
them that what I learned in recovery was the belief in the Spirituality, and the Power From WITHIN are the KEYS to recovery.
Recently, I got a position at a drug store company in my town, that I am thrilled about! (I heard only about 5% Traumatic Brain Injury survivors get back to PAY positions, again.) I wanted to work at Walgreen's because it is a company who helps OTHERS with so many items that they sell.
Anyway, see some of you someday, someway or somewhere!

Some of the best pets I had in my lifetime: 1. A DUCK! It was raised by one of my sister and I. Our duck was never raised w/ other ducks, so it truly thought it was just a real HUMAN! 2. 2 Chaukatues (sp?) who both learned to do a wolf-whistle. 3. Turtles and guppies, guppies and guppies. 4. At least 9 cats thru out my decades, and the latest cat, Chewie, is the sweetest! As you can tell, I AM an animal lover!!!
