In October 2010 while hiking in the Sequoia National Forest, I had a terrible accident that landed me in Cedars Sinai Hospital for almost a month. I fell fifteen feet out of a fallen tree and snapped my jaw, cracked my cheekbone, pulverized my chin, and broke three bones on my right foot. ...It really wasn’t that bad, though because Cutter - my boyfriend’s pit bull - was there by my side every minute of the day.
