The Southern California nurse who suffered a traumatic spinal cord injury during a trip to Costa Rica says she is feeling good about her recovery chances.
Deanne Niedziela was crushed over Memorial Day weekend when a 5-foot tree limb fell on her while she and her husband Ken Niedzela were hiking.
Deanne, the director of nursing at Providence Mission Hospital in Southern California, was welcomed home over the weekend.
The woman arrived at Providence to dozens of staff members lining the hallway to offer her love and support as she now takes on the task of recovering.
'I know that I have a good team here and that my injuries ... I am positive that I can overcome them, at least to a point where I can come back,' Deanne said.
