Brain Injury: Stroke while being treated for leukemia.

Explanation of Mask: I have my days that aren’t so good but most of the time it’s pretty positive. I wanted my mask to show that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  I have been given lots of support and worked with many good medical professionals. “stroke”-it’s small because I didn’t want it to be the focus. Clock-represents my memory of getting shots at the same time every day and I also have difficulty with managing my time now. I lose track of it. Lipstick-represents always being me. At the time of my initial treatments I had lost most of my independence but it was still a little bit of me. Light orange color and orange ribbon-presence of leukemia. I was faced with losing my eye or losing my life.  I realized how important it is to be alive! Boxing Gloves-the fight. Ruler-tools I have been given at Rehab.
