Three years ago February, I was sitting in a restaurant, about to sign the check, when I realized I had forgotten how to write my own name.
The intention was there. I could visualize the letter J. I could even imagine what it would be like to write it, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to move my hand. I was 28 years old. I had temporarily lost the ability to draw circles or curves. By May, if I left my house, it was in a wheelchair. Mostly, I was bedridden. Some days, I did not have the strength to lift my head.
Naturally, I turned to my doctors for answers. I learned that having access to the health care system is about a lot more than having health insurance.
