Hey! My sister had a strikingly similar accident - she was working in Indonesia, and was sitting in the front of a bus when the brakes gave out and it hit a tree. The doctors also thought she might be mostly wheelchair bound, however with a ton of effort she is now very mobile.

Here's a very poorly done translation of an article about her; she mostly spends her time doing public/motivational speaking, creative project management and is active in the Norwegian debate concerning health care and how the system treats people with chronic pain.

Either way, she's had a tough life and I'm sure you have too, way to go getting back on your feet and being awesome ;)

My favorite superhero! Jean, it seems tough to stay true to yourself and appreciate one's uniqueness when our world feels like a small world despite there being 7 billion+ people. It seems like you have a handle on being true to yourself, taking on new challenges and such. How do you do it? What keeps you going when it's rough? What other women besides yourself do you look to for inspiration and guidance, and why?
