Neuro Nerds

Oh, How the Tides Have Turned…

That’s when the idea struck me …

Tuesday, December 9, 2014, was my one year anniversary at Roper St. Francis’s Outpatient Rehab, so my dad was nice enough to supply lunch for everyone in the department today.

Stage 2: Inpatient Rehab

Anthony Macchio - Young — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 02:23:13 +0000
