I don't pretend to understand it, but that's one hell of a story.
The story in the Monitor was about me. My middle name is actually Eve, which is short for Evenstar.

Hey, I still don't understand all this myself - I may never understand it completely.

Melanie (the reporter) covered my graduation from NHTI last May and contacted my through the NH Senate, where I was working as an intern. We met several times over the summer and I basically told her everything that I knew, which she then verified by contacting my doctors and my best friend. She call my at my university last week and we finished the story over a long telephone conversation.

I felt that I could trust Melanie to be sensitive about the way that my story was written, as I didn't want it to be sensationalized, and I didn't want anyone hurt by it. What happened to me is extremely complicated, which made Melanie's job really difficult. I think she did a great job. She wants to try kayaking, so we're planning to get together this summer - probably on Squam.

This was really hard for me to do, as I hate feeling like "exhibit A". But I'm hoping that what happened to me might somehow help others who are going through very difficult times in their own lives.

RE: fatlazyless: My best friend often tells me to "use the force" when I can't figure out how to do something. She says it's from some popular movie. "The Force" for me is my instincts - which seem to have worked extremely well in getting through the unknown here.
