How it started...
On this day, two years ago, I was hit head on by a distracted driver on the country highway by our home. My husband died instantly and I was careflighted to the local trauma center where I remained in critical condition. It was my fourth year of medical school

Over the next few months, as I dealt with the grief of losing my husband, I struggled to overcome my injuries - internal bleeding; open fracture of the femur, tibia, and fibula; and open fracture of the 5th digit of my (dominant) left hand at the MCP and DIP joints. I worked to
independently accomplish my activities of daily living when sitting on the side of the bed, transferring myself to the bedside commode, or feeding myself were feats in itself.
Last night, I worked my first night shift as an OBGYN resident and I find myself crying in realization

of how far I've come. On a day that brings so much heartache, grief, and sorrow - I'm thankful that I spent the anniversary of my car accident in Labor & Delivery celebrating new life, joy, and hope. So grateful to my patients and honored to share these special moments with them
To all the #interns...it's not about where you start, but about how you finish. The learning curve may be steep at first, but keep your head up and give yourself grace.
