Then, I saw on her resume that she had brain surgery back in college. I don't know why she'd want to tell people that, but... okay, might be a good thing.
In her case it was a life-defining/near-death-experience moment. If I remember the benign brain tumor caused paralysis down half her body. The surgery cured all that.
Like most people in that situation, she was energized to really take care of herself. Unlike most people, she actually did.
