A quiet, cold, sharp breeze grazed the only skin showing through her thick snow gear. She was used to the cold at this point; having lived in the more northern parts of Maine for her whole life.

She was starting physical therapy soon which would last nine months to get her back to where she was before. Some days she could feel slight paralysis in her hip and knee but everything was getting better. Everyone was happier for her and felt better knowing she was going to be fine. It was an absolute miracle that she was going to be able to walk again. The whole hospital stay was pretty ugly with constant shots, medicine, and crying.
