Introduction Twenty four years ago I was lying in a coma; my mum holding my hand and praying. Ten years later, I was back. In 1985 I could find no rehab at all. Then in 2006 I was in a MVA. I hadn't realized how close I was to the edge of my abilities; it only took a nudge to send me over (physically, not mentally!) I was totally disabled for a year. This time my rehab was wildly different. I felt safe and cared for and I was part of a fabulous group, all working together with a common goal. Much of the actual rehab was similar to what I had discovered on my own over the years. The magic was the people. A light went on for me! I realized that in order to heal and grow, we humans do our best work in community. We also need to pay attention to ALL FIVE VIBRANT COLOURS OF OUR HUMANITY - or it just won't work. And so www.ReBuildingYou.com was born - a website to share rehabilitation tips, news, methods and communities So that no-one need stumble alone. Come BACK Faster and Stronger - Build Attitude with Community and Knowlege.
