In the past 4 years I've gone through 9 surgeries and multiple other procedures where I've been awake. Some surgeries take longer to recover from than others. Luckily, my most recent surgery is a quick recovery and hopefully - fingers crossed, knock on wood and anything else superstitious - it is my last surgery.
Still to this day I vividly remember looking down at my swollen, lifeless, cut-up legs in ICU back in March of 2012. During those moments I looked at my legs and wondered what life would hold for me and how any of this would get better. My first feelings of doubt and fear set in during those quiet dark moments in my hospital room. I remember thinking not only who is left and who is Brittany Fisher? But also who would ever want "this" or to be more specific and blunt - who would ever want to be with me - this disabled mess in the hospital bed.
