The married mother tells the site, “I am not the same, and may never be,” adding, “Every day is an uphill battle to do things in my life that I took for granted, like speaking.”

“The pain was the worst I have ever felt,” she said of her recovery, which she thought were normal side effects of the surgery, until learning it was something much more serious.
