When I was 22 I had strep throat & the doctor was saying "take This medication for 3 days". I was going to two university & working a couple of jobs. The 4th day I was waitressing & my roommate tried to wake me up. I did kind-of wake up a couple hours later, kind-of once again. I forgot stupid but relevant things like my parents phone number which I knew. Four days later I went completely into a coma. A month after that I woke up. I'm allergic to (since 15 when I had a benign brain tumor removed) penicillin & Dilantin. Every step was tragedy. The md's said when I was in a coma that I would die the same day that I woke up. Then they said that I will be a vegetable & I finished the university. Then the doctors' said that I will walk with a wheelchair. Two musicians disagreed. Henry Townsend & Johnnie Johnson said that I was a black lady when I danced.

I had to relearn & am still doing so. I feel occasionally in a bad mood. But my family lives in St. Louis & I just go to dance it out! I have a supportive family yet I was lost. When I was in Israel every other person that I knew in the hospital had a stroke. A couple of months later I was at a hospital in St. Louis; same scene. Finally I am happy to see more e people & I feel very happy ?
