Albion, NE USA
I am a 66 year old lady who was involved in a very serious car accident in September 2019. Since then I have first been in Physical Therapy and then moved on into a Wellness Program at the Boone County Health Center, our local hospital, in Albion, NE. Today when I was walking in to exercise I noticed a small something on the bench just outside the hospital doors.
