I ended up losing my front tooth and fracturing my jaw. In 2013 I ended up being admitted to the ICU for 5 days because I was exhibiting very unusual behavior. I was delirious, I couldn\u2019t walk on my own without my legs giving out, I didn\u2019t know who I was or anyone else around me. The amount of pain that was radiating from my head was astronomical.

It was some of the worst moments in my life, however I told myself I would recover and help others when I finally did. I would have bad days and breaking points but my whole mantra was to focus on my blessings, not my triumphs.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t until my early 20s until I gained an appreciation for things that I had never even thought about.
