Jennifer Starzec quotes:

Before I knew it, I was once again being whisked down the hallways at the new hospital into an even bigger room, one that, unbeknownst to me, would be my home for what would feel like a long, long time.

I wondered if there was anything [the doctor] could do to to make the pain disappear and my arms work again. I wondered if I was going to get any worse than I already was. If so, I wondered if he could fix that, too.

As I sat up I turned my head to the side, but immediately straightened it again when I felt a sharp pain shoot through my neck.

All of a sudden, my right hand was dead, unplugged, and my left was definitely not working right.

Nothing worked. This blazing pain seemed only to be getting worse.
