Before her injury, Pamela Carlsrud was enjoying her recent retirement. But an unexpected accident changed everything. Pam suffered a ground-level fall that caused a brain bleed, leading to emergency surgery and a craniectomy to relieve pressure on her brain. Her condition became critical when she went into respiratory failure and required a ventilator to breathe.
