Thankfully, ear surgery made hearing possible even though I can't tell the direction of a sound. I've been in three major car accidents, always as a passenger. The impact threw me forward and sideways. My knees were jammed into the dashboard. My kneecaps were flattened.
Humans are resilient creatures.
My injuries were similar to those of basketball players who fall on their knees. I went to a professional basketball coach and asked for help. He suggested exercises for my knees. It took time and dedication, but in one year, I was able to walk in high heels. That took three years to correct.
