Zena Friedman says it's friends, family and complete strangers that kept her going, and possibly alive. The 63 year old was on her final day of vacation in Bali, Indonesia when she was hit by a taxi. She suffered a punctured lung, broken neck and ribs.
For a month she was in multiple overseas hospitals.
Her friend Tracey Auspitz helped lead the effort to help get Friedman medical attention and then back home.
"We had to take her from Bali to Malaysia which was 30 thousand dollars and find money for the surgeries in Malaysia and then finding the money to bring her back home. It was half way around the world, so it's been a three week effort of fund raising, public awareness."

Burton News & Staffordshire Newspaper | Burton On Trent Local Newspaper Headlines | Daily Mail | More brain surgery for Bali smash manDOCTORS battling to save the life of an injured Overseal man are to perform further brain surgery in an effort to wake him from a semi-conscious state.
In a meeting between the family of Mathew Taylor (pictured) and the doctors at Nottingham’s Queen’s Medical Centre who are treating him, it was decided that the 30-year-old would undergo another operation tomorrow.
His aunt, Sandra Taylor, said: “The real worry about Mathew is that he has still not become fully conscious.
“The surgeons are still very positive and hopeful for Mathew’s eventual recovery and are going to perform an operation on Friday to try to resolve some problems they think there is with the fluid flow in Mathew’s brain.
“Like all operations there are the normal risks but they feel quite satisfied that this should be a procedure which should go relatively well.”
Mr Taylor suffered a near-fatal accident while he was riding a motorcycle in Bali in July.
Since then his family and friends have campaigned to bring him home, having to pay out more than £200,000 to cover his medical costs as he was uninsured at the time of the crash.
Mr Taylor is currently said to be comfortable, with a good temperature and normal vital signs.
