"Heard patients begging to be put out of their misery and I admit I shared that plea more than once .. Unable to walk, often semi conscious, lying in room, totally on my own, delirious and very unsure about my future. I honestly thought I was going mad at some points hallucinating... what a mess. "Still learning to walk again and every day of therapy is a new small victory Stopped croaking and learning to speak again that's been fun
