  • (Betsy
  • Turner
  • Nunley,
  • author
  • of
  • Preemie
  • to
  • Woman
  • in
  • Sixty
  • Short
  • Years).At
  • seventeen,
  • Nicole
  • Hemmenway
  • believed
  • her
  • life
  • was
  • just
  • beginning.
  • She
  • was
  • a
  • senior
  • in
  • high
  • school
  • looking
  • forward
  • to
  • college
  • and
  • living
  • on
  • her
  • own.
  • However,
  • all
  • her
  • dreams
  • vanished
  • the
  • moment
  • she
  • became
  • injured.
  • Diagnosed
  • with
  • complex
  • regional
  • pain
  • syndrome
  • (CRPS),
  • she
  • soon
  • learned
  • that
  • mainstream
  • medicine
  • viewed
  • her
  • pain
  • and
  • symptoms
  • as
  • being
  • untreatable
  • and
  • incurable.
  • She
  • was
  • living
  • a
  • nightmare.
  • With
  • no
  • use
  • of
  • her
  • right
  • hand
  • and
  • minimal
  • use
  • of
  • her
  • arm,
  • she
  • depended
  • on
  • massive
  • amounts
  • of
  • narcotics
  • to
  • survive
  • each
  • day.
  • Yet
  • even
  • that
  • could
  • not
  • control
  • her
  • agony.
  • The
  • crippling
  • pain
  • was
  • so
  • paralyzing
  • that
  • she
  • faced
  • periods
  • where
  • she
  • was
  • bedridden
  • or
  • wheelchair
  • bound.
  • All
  • she
  • had
  • to
  • hold
  • on
  • to
  • was
  • hope.
  • Hope
  • that
  • her
  • miracle
  • would
  • someday
  • arrive
  • .
