Legs, Trains, and is this REALLY a Hospital?

by Terri Louise

Overview

In 2010 Terri Louise suffered an industrial accident. She took a long ambulance ride to the hospital, only to be kicked out hours later because she had no insurance and only "back pain". The doctor refused her tests and would not accept the workman's compensation as her way to pay. She suffered two weeks in bed waiting for the swelling to recede to have a vital surgery to her spine. During this period her EX-husband sued her for custody of their son. Her attorney refused to help her and would not let an associate assist her either. A month later her son moved into a home with an abusive passive aggressive alcoholic and Terri started writing. With little to no money, she needed therapy to get through this disaster and words were all she had. Born from her recovery bed, came the "Diaries of a Damaged Soul" series. First "Divorce, Girlfriends, Phone Calls, and Why He Makes Me Sick!" and now, "Legs, Trains, and is this REALLY a Hospital?". Devastated by her injury, countless hours learning to be patient about her healing, physical therapist appointments and bottles of ibuprofen later, Terri walks fairly well, and misses her son. THESE are her hours upon hours of suffering, prayers, horrors, court room dramas, and laughter, as she walks back into life as a handicapped mom.

About the Author

Born to a strong family of 6- Terri being the oldest. At ten she had her first article published with a local paper and the writing bug took hold. At 13 she won a radio contest with "oddest story line" and completed a goal her grandfather had--to be on the radio.That same year she was VP of the student body and at her 8th grade graduation she gave the retirement speech for her grandmother-- a teacher of 30 years. At 16 she drove a logging truck for her family business and loved that so much, she went on to work with them. When she was 21, she started her own family, and placed writing on the back burner. For the next 22 years she played the part of "Mother" and "Parent" and worked in the family business as one of their heavy equipment operators.In 2008 her husband left and they divorced in 2009. In 2010 she was injured on one of the jobs, and decided to begin writing again. Bitten by the bug once more, she started the "Diary of a Damaged Soul" Series, based on diaries she kept during her abusive marriage. She currently helps with her local little league serving as their president and other positions needing filled. To date, Terri is working on her first fiction, "Coffee of Change," Based loosely on six women she met when looking for help during her divorce.

The only thing they have in common is the website, but in their day to day lives, they are experiencing death, kidnappings, cancer, trips to hawaii, love triangles and ordinary day to day things. But, they need each other, and the website is where they come back to , time and time again. They each are suffering through a seperation or divorce. So, they form bonds of friendship and the website is their glue."
