When asked what keeps Rikki motivated to make a full recovery the bubbly reality TV star got emotional and acknowledged that her life will never be the same. “Just having a normal life again. My normal is going to be different this time around,” she said.

“When I was in a coma I just had nightmares the entire time. In one of my nightmares I was having my skull sawed off and my brain was being taken out to be fed to cats,” Rikki laughed. “When you’re in a coma or you know anybody that is in one, definitely go talk to them, but talk about really happy things. Or sing! All the songs that people sung to me I totally remember.”

Vikki jokes that she initially didn’t want the doctors to shave Rikki’s head for surgery because she needed her hair for a television show they were going to be filming. “My mom called and said, ‘Alright, they’re going to shave her head and relieve the pressure from her brain’ and I was like, ‘We’re filming a show later this month, she needs to have hair!’”

Rikki will be documenting her journey through this new phase in her life on her blog which will feature a diary and photographs of her head without the helmet on.
