The car accident has left me unconscious．When   37   , I found both legs in casts（石膏）．While I had other serious injuries, my    38   were my first concern．Working as a special needs teacher and busy and active by nature, I couldn’t imagine being   39  in a wheelchair．

I am now able to walk alone, sometimes using a stick．I am able to take public transportation to shop and visit friends．My life has been blessed with many   54  of which I am proud．But none has ever brought me the satisfaction and joy   55   by those four little words of my son．
