11.26.09 - For
her, this Thanksgiving is special: Constance Parrish has
recaptured her life following Lewiston motorcycle wreck
that put her into a coma
Brad W. Gary, The Lewiston Morning Tribune, Idaho
On
this Thanksgiving morning, Constance (Coni) Parrish is
grateful to the rescuers. Critically injured in a motorcycle accident 15 months ago,
Parrish spent seven weeks in a coma before beginning a
road to recovery that will continue through this holiday
season.
"I want to thank everybody; I'm so thankful for my life," said
Parrish, who joyously credits physical therapy for helping
her walk again.
Parrish, 38, suffered a head injury and broke her jaw in
13 places Aug. 7, 2008, after the front tire of the motorcycle
she was riding struck the back tire of another on Lewiston's
11th Avenue.
Nobody could tell how she would recover during the ensuing
weeks at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, her husband
Kelly Parrish said. She couldn't walk when she awoke, and
still doesn't remember much about the accident. She does
remember months of being envious of the nurses and doctors
walking by her room at St. Luke's Rehabilitation Institute
in Spokane.
