Who i am:

Picture
​My name is Jennifer Burgmann. In Dec 2009, I contracted Bickerstaff Brainstem Encephalitis and became life-threateningly ill. I spent 18 months bed-confined and hospitalised, then 2 years in rehab. Today, though disabled and wheelchair dependent, I live a relatively independent life in a Family Care Home near Vancouver BC. I try to give back to my community by writing, speaking, and creating comic strips in order to share my story of struggle and hope, and to advocate for the disabled community. Please read My Story and visit my Blog while you're here, and follow A Day in the Life of a PWD: Person With a Disability on Facebook.

She fell
she crashed
she broke
she cried
she crawled
she hurt
she surrendered
And then...
she rose again.
