Frustrated by the beginning of the story

Revisado: 06-27-22

Don't get this book if you've had an actual severe TBI. She talked in the first few weeks, walked in the first few months............granted I've not gotten to the part written by Kelly, but the part by the mom is upsetting to me. She's acting like her daughter "needed to learn how to talk", but yet a paragraph later quotes her daughter talking in complete sentences. Then acts like she's walking b/c she's so determined, so everyone else with a more severe injury isn't as determined as her? Um, maybe they haven't emerged, like Kelly did a few weeks after her injury. They give made up, rude names to other people less fortunate than them and refers to the "more injured" as objects, not people. The worst line so far, and I'm in about the 2nd chapter, is when the mom gloats about how she "is going to experience life as Kelly is experiencing it"....so "she doesn't go to the hairdresser" while Kelly is recovering...........Um what??????? And then she implies that Kelly has ten hours of grueling therapy..........UM, NO, PATIENTS DO NOT HAVE TEN HOURS OF THERAPY A DAY. Then she (the mom) talks about the other mom's "that have to get their shopping done"..and leave during therapy as if they are less than her. She in her own words had the money to hire someone to sleep overnight w/her daughter so she could sleep. Maybe these ladies had to shop for food for their families..................seriously, hope I learn something when this book is over.
