#living life
So, i was living my life to the moment each day. It all came to a sudden stop! I crashed my motorcycle and went over the handle bars into the ditch. i tucked and rolled as i fell, but when i went over bars, i caught them with my hip and femur. So, needless to say, i broke them. after an extensive surgery and 2 blood transfusions, I'm finally home resting!I'm going to have to learn to walk again. my brain and my leg muscles don't communicate, and i can't lift my leg without assistance. So I need help with everything! It's not easy for me to ask for help, but I'm learning to really fast! But I'm back, #livinglife, not letting it tear me down. This weekend, naughty Bingo! I got my wheelchair today so I can go out of the house! I'm so excited to go out and just know that I am continuing to live life on my terms. I'm not letting things bring me down. I got my dogs back after 2 weeks! I missed them so much!I counted 68 staples, give or take a few in my left knee, upper leg, and hip. The bruises are starting to come through, and they're very tender yet. But I'm not letting it stop me. Slowed me down quite a bit, but I'm still moving forward!#livinglife ,#movingforward, #get it girl!
Experiencing a life-altering motorcycle accident can be incredibly challenging, but it also opens a path toward remarkable resilience and personal growth. Recovering from severe injuries such as broken hips and femurs requires not only physical healing but also mental endurance. Many individuals in similar situations find that relearning basic movements, like walking, involves a comprehensive rehabilitation process including physical therapy, muscle re-education, and adapting to assistive devices like wheelchairs. One key aspect of recovery is acknowledging the importance of seeking and accepting help, which can be difficult for those used to independence. Surrounding yourself with a supportive network—family, friends, healthcare providers—can make a significant difference. Small victories, such as the first time you take steps assisted or get outside after confinement, are powerful milestones that fuel motivation. Maintaining a positive mindset amidst pain and limited mobility contributes tremendously to overall healing. Engaging in activities you enjoy, even from a wheelchair, and reconnecting with pets or hobbies can lift spirits and reinforce the commitment to 'living life on your terms.' For those facing similar adversities, it's essential to remember that recovery is a journey marked by perseverance and adaptability. Don't hesitate to embrace new routines, therapies, and technologies that aid mobility and independence. Most importantly, every step forward—no matter how small—is progress toward reclaiming control and embracing a fulfilling life again.
