One year after her accident, Judy returned to her previous job and went on to acquire a Masters Degree in Nursing and Business Administration. She became a hospital Vice President of Patient Care Services and was honored in Who's Who in American Nursing, Nursing Administration and American Women. She has written a book of Brain Injury and NPH Recovery to help as many people as possible.
