To be shot in the face and still return to protesting against injustice is the height of bravery and dedication.

I had neurosurgery to correct brain stem compression. I regained the ability to walk without weakness and tremors and to function in general.

I had to fight my insurance company for months because they denied my first surgery due to their perceived lack of “medical necessity.”

Mission of Gravity by Hal Clement has sentient centipede-like aliens. A very good book even 70 years later.
