 This was taken just hours before my life was forever changed. |  My family and close friends gathered in the hospital. |  First time doing PT and rehab at home. |

 My son Colin was my biggest helper during physical therapy. |  Left side neglect! It was so hard to pucker up for my facial exercises. |  Climbing became an outlet and a recovery tool. |
 My family was always so supportive during my rock climbing exercises. |  It became a family experience for us. |  My face-strengthening exercises. They were exhausting! |
 Strengthening my facial muscles became a daily routine. |  2014 was a long winter with so many snow days. My son, Colin, and I laid on the floor to draw and talk. It was the best winter with him; just being together while it snowed outside was exactly what I needed. |  I lived in my robe and PJs all winter long. |
 My first big outing was to a New Year's Eve birthday bash for my dear friend Capucine. I worked hard for two months straight so that I could have the stamina to go to this important celebration. |  New Year's Eve. My face still wasn't fully back. You can see that my mouth is low on one side. |  I did the stroke walk with the Yale - New Haven Neurology team. I’m here with my Dr. Caitlin Looms. |
 I worked hard to get this far! |  This was the day after my first run while on a family vacation in Italy. We're with my dad to celebrate his 70th birthday! |  Yale Hospital Neurology Department. I took this picture after the last rounds of tests in March. I swore that I would never see this sign again. |
 Going back to work was not easy, but having wonderful clients, made my return easy. |  Swimming became another great tool in my recovery |
