2 Year Anniversary

Home Again Home Again

One of the first things we did when we returned home to Mt. Pleasant, SC was to interview at-home caregiver businesses to take me to therapy whenever I would have it and provide in-home care.

Beer Irony

This is one of the beers I had in my book bag the night of the accident. Wipeout. Ironic? I’m thinking so. If you have an Instagram you can see this picture at the first place it was posted and ALL of my recovery pictures and videos on my account, @amacchio, and/or on the majority …

Summer of 2014 is the Summer of Fun, Laughter and Recovery

During the summer of 2013, we were still fighting fevers, spells of vomiting and casts on one arm and one leg.

There was a constant flow of doctors, nurses and physical therapists. We …
