I almost died young.

Really young.

Thirteen!

But I got a second chance.

Dr. Kodsi sewed by face back up.

I thought I looked like Young Frankenstein.

Ortho put my left leg back together.

A wheelchair my new best friend.

The ICU team brought me back from respiratory failure.

Back from the brink.

A second chance for long life and health.

Don't blow it!

I say to myself.

Don't blow this second chance.

I say it every single day.

Don't blow it.
