Two months before her wedding, the unthinkable happens. Katie, a busy twenty-six-year-old marketing consultant, becomes paralyzed on the left side of her body from a migraine. Uncertain about her future, including being able to walk down the aisle at her upcoming wedding, the state of her business, or if her body will regain normal function again, Katie learns how to adapt and navigate her new life with the support of her family and friends.
After difficult hardships in the hospital and outpatient care, she learns what it means to be an adventurer in the healthcare system and a true advocate for not only her health but her life.
In A Tale Of A Broken Brain, she shares her raw journey through personal essays and stories from her over six-week stay at the hospital and years of therapy afterwards. With each chapter, she shares her most dark and vulnerable moments and her determination to persevere with every obstacle she is faced, from relearning how to walk, use her hand, walking down the aisle and most of all, heal from devastating circumstances.
