Unforgettable

She was a hostage to uncontrollable, violent tics and sudden outbursts of extraordinary expletives. Bianca lived at the mercy of her troubled mind until doctors performed radical brain surgery. Instantly, and for two miraculous weeks, she was free of her Tourette's. But then, cruelly, infections set in and the operation had to be reversed. Today, Bianca still suffers severely from Tourette's, but she has learnt to navigate the near impossible. She has found love, independence and happiness… even though she still swears like a trooper.
