Transcription

I am so lucky to be alive. I survived brain surgery. The last thing I remember is shopping, and I must have collapsed.
 
Imagine waking up in this ICU at Summa and being told that you had a seizure. I had a brain MRI and Dr. Hartzfeld told me I had two benign tumors causing the seizures. You can't ask for a better surgeon. The team at Summa is very wonderful. They work together, and they all were very nice and caring people.
 
I've been with Summa since 1970. I love Summa. Life now is just so much joy. It really is. I feel so good that I can get out and do the things I want to do. What a blessing.
