My first response is: I love you. My second response is awe of the brain and its ability to heal. While it's true a brain can't be replaced like a heart, clearly you have clearly put in some effort and your brain has responded (I hope that doesn't sound patronizing). My third response: may I use the word bravery for the Judith Hannah you portray to the world? These achingly moving words show us your brain can still create. You inspire me.
Have you constructed a timeline of events in your recovery/restoration/rehabilitation? I realize you would have to remember those things - a challenge, from your reports - but that, in itself, becomes part of the process. How might the process have been akin to a child’s growth - in skills, in words, in feelings?

Congratulations on the new book.
Nineteen years - wow.
You are inspirational.
And by the way: where can I get those birds and the book?
