City/State: Chattanooga

Brain Injury: I took a freak fall and sustained a frontal lobe, eye, and cheek injury.  After spending a year confined to bed, I now live with poor balance, partial blindness, eye pain, double vision, and intolerance of noise. 

Explanation of Mask: I’ve entitled my mask “I Never Give Up and I Persevere Through Adversity.”  I am a bookkeeper and I have returned to work.  My husband describes me as a savant, quickly finding the smallest errors.  With a strong faith in God, I feel that suffering has brought me wisdom.  I enjoy kayaking with my husband.  It lets us enjoy the beauty and quietness of nature.
