RE: TinyReads #2: When The Tables Are Turned
This is such a beautiful, heart-wrenching story, and you have such a lovely reading voice! I was absolutely mesmerized. You should read for Audible. (In your copious free time. Ha!)
Thank you for sharing this. I haven't read the original, but I think it's great that you are following your own progress. Community and support make all the difference, don't they?
Thank you, Jayna. Your opinion means a lot to me. I was a bit worried, when reading this one, that it would be confusing with all the dialogue sections, but I think it turned out OK. The reason why this particular piece is so important to me, is explained in both of the written posts, should you want to know more about it. ;-)
And yes. Community, support and encouragement really do make all the difference.
Hugs
Oh yes. I am very curious about the background. I know it is based on your real life experience and work. But... off I go to pursue the full back story.
I like the original story too! My lingering question... was Lily okay??
Writing really is excellent therapy for all the life stuff we go through. It's a great way to get things out of our tortured minds and put them down on paper (even if it is theoretical paper) where we can be a bit more objective.
I couldn't do the work you do. I'd be in therapy full time, honestly.
Lily spent one week in a coma after her surgery and none of us expected her to survive. She did though. But she woke up hemiplegic and with trouble speaking.
She's fought hard, the last 20 months though. She learned to walk and to control her right arm again and she's trying to get her drivers' license right now. She'll never return to radiology, but we hope she'll be able to come back in an admin function.
She knows this story is out there, but she doesn't feel ready to read it yet. That day broke both of us a little bit, I think.
hugs
