When they finally took the tubes out and fixed my ankle, I was left with 6th and 7th cranial nerve damage, along with partial paralysis of the left side of my face. I now have double vision because my left eye looks towards my nose and my right is fine due to the paralysis. I have a plate and 4 screws in my ankle. I spent 4 months in a wheelchair and am just now learning to re walk.

I thank God everyday that I am still alive.
