6wk Face Healing
Posted 11/27/22: 6 weeks ago today my, and many close to me's, world was turned upside down when I was in a head-on collision with a semi. I am lucky to be alive! If you're up for it, this video shows the progression of my facial trauma healing over time. It is intense and also amazing to see how far I've come in such a short amount of time. Immense gratitude for this ever- evolving mind/body/spirit and for all those on this journey with me. To be continued...
*the last slide in the video should list 10/16/22 and 11/27/22.
She walks!
Posted 1/16/23: 3 months out from the accident and I don’t think anyone expected me to be walking by now. I’m filled with gratitude for all of the care I’ve received and support in various forms that has empowered me to be where I am today.
I still have a long way to go filled with more navigating appointments and surgeries, diligence and hard work to gain more independence and a full recovery, reintegration into my old|new life, and slowly getting back into work while centering my need to heal and rest.
I continue to learn the power of positivity, patience, vulnerability, and humor; of finding space for both wallowing and celebrating; of leaning into solitude and community; and perhaps most importantly, of love and trust in myself and others to move through difficult times. I am finding a new rhythm with my fresh and evolving perspective on what it means (to me) to thrive in this ever changing, grief-and-joy-filled world. Sending so much love.
