Not her real name confidentiality you know
and she’s not THAT Barbie either.
One of my most memorable patients in rehab,.
her spirit was light and hopeful, bouncing in
with a mischievous grin and challenging me
and my student to bring it on to match her
exuberance. Dx: malignant brain tumor 
Age: 34 . focused on executive functioning,
using games, cooking , money management
social interaction. Barbie had us in stitches.
Betty laughed so loudly we were shushed by
the pediatric therapist. Her humor and Grace
we’re always intact until it wasn’t.
Sadly she lost her battle at age 36.
Barbie, I still speak your name..
