City: Jacksonville

Brain Injury: Motor Vehicle Accident

Explanation of Mask: I was a volunteer EMT responding to a 911 call when I hit black ice, and the rest is history.  The new me: still getting to know her!  I am wild and crazy like my hair and continuously discovering my new path.  On my mask, the red blobs represent the brain bleeds I experienced.  I was thankful I did not need surgery because the bleeds reabsorbed. The black lips and nostrils signify my loss of smell and taste.  The bells and musical notes correlate with the ringing in my ears. I thank God this is not my home; home is yet to come a long time from now.
