Kathy Patterson - Moving forward with therapy
Moving forward with therapy is a must. That was one of our deciding factors when we chose to move from a northern climate to Arizona. In six years, we have never missed a therapy appointment because of weather. We may get a monsoon in Arizona but if you wait 15 minutes it will be gone. No boots or jackets makes my job easier.

Isabella Zini - A Perspective on Emotions as a Caregiver to my Mother
In May 2019, my mother, Heather Scott, suffered a stroke caused by an intraparenchymal brain hemorrhage, cerebral edema, and superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. This led to complications such as seizure and clotting disorders along with a hemicraniectomy to remove the right side of her skull, relieving pressure on the brain. Her skull was replaced by cranioplasty in August 2019, but her body began rejecting it, as she suffered infectious necrosis of the autologous cranial flap, leading to another hemicraniectomy in January 2020. A titanium mesh was implanted in March 2020, and fortunately she has since been on the mend with the help from her family.
