Hey guys I’m going to tell you something that’s kind of very delicate and private but for the first time in 10 years since my accident breaking my ankle and shattering it I can get off the ground Both ways it’s been a struggle for me for The first 3 to 4 years I was not able to do it at allI  I was in rehab for three months including a nursing home and Rehab facility I was in a boot for almost 6 months they kept me in the rehab and the old folks home because I cannot climb stairsI was not able to return home I had to put a bag over my boot to take showers it was rough it was an accident the way it happened I fell slipped in the rain and that was that I was down for the count I had surgery they put screws in plates in my foot it was a Trumatic experience and I would never wish it upon anyone I’ve learned a lot and I’m back to almost new and better I want to go to maybe a theme park and go on rides but I haven’t been on in years because I have the ability to do it now some people question my ability to do things but I just don’t wanna overdo it it’s not that I can’t do it it’s that I just am cautious because I went through such a traumatic experienceAnyways that’s all I want to share for now don’t pity me I don’t need it but thank you for those who supported me and help me through this experience I am forever grateful

Thank you for this piece of evidence that healing really does happen. Congratulations on the wisdom of not pushing your limits in the healing process.

Hope you make it to your theme park treat. When you make it on to one of those rides, I'll be the one watching enviously from the sidelines. My stomach won't handle those rides any more. The last time I tried a theme park ride more exciting than the baby rides, my dinner ended up on my ride buddies lap. She was gracious, but. . . I'm okay watching these days.

Here's to finding your better balance in healing and for taking the time to heal your feelings and anxiety!

I rode on a gentle roller coaster yesterday for the first time in years with the kids, and had a great rid with them!

Go For The Ride!

Let us know how your theme park treat visit goes!

It’s a big deal that I’m going to a theme park I would like to go to most the rides like I did when I was a child and teenager thank you for your input I have grown and learned from this experience and although I wasn’t exactly lucky I feel like I learned a lot and sometimes you grow from the experiences you’ve been through and this is just one of those times where you look back and you’re like well this made me stronger than I ever was before I look back and I’m not ashamed or embarrassed but I think for that it wasn’t permanent and that it got better and I was able to healI think I’m gonna go to Disneyland in September so skies the limit and I’m ready

Went thru a broken leg. Gracefully slipped in a patch of wet dirt. Simple as that. Was a spiral compound fracture Surgery with a nail and screws, no cast, on crutches for several months, painful to the max in the beginning. The crazy thing is although I had severe anxiety, the incident did not traumatize me, but having my first child did. It is perplexing how anxiety affects us in different ways, nature of the beast maybe.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!
