Mary’s Story

Site created on January 17, 2020


Dear Mary is in the hospital again.  On Monday, July 12,  2021, she had some seizures and maybe a small stroke.  But she is getting noticeably better everyday.  Her spirits are good.  And she is still cracking jokes.  If you know Mary at all, you know that she is strong and willful and a badass, so I am hopeful that she will improve at speed.

from January-March, 2020: Mary Knoll, force of nature, and my beloved wife, was in an automobile accident on January 10th and sadly sustained a traumatic brain injury.  She suffered only minor other injuries.  Mary is currently at Touro Neuro Rehabilitation and is making wonderful improvements daily.  Mary is strong, and thank you for joining us in wishing her the very best success in her healing. Love.

Journal entry by Tim Hendrixson —

Mary is back home in our cozy Maplewood apartment!  After nine days at St. Mary's Hospital and nine days at Barnes-Jewish Extended Care, Mary has her land legs and voice back pretty much as well as before her July 12th cerebral episodes.  Once again Mary has shown us her great strength, will, and courage in her rapid recovery!
