Tom Rademacher, a columnist whose words have pulled on so many hearts (including mine), is recovering from an accident in June when he broke his left ankle, elbow, and wrist. Tom has recently won the National Society of Newspaper Columnists top honor for general interest, large newspapers, for the second year in a row. When I asked Tom if he would be writing about his accident and recovery road he looked wistful and simply said the experience makes him want to write about the people who truly have to start over, and the doctors who help them.
