Recovery

Recovery has been tough. Not just for my face but for ankles. Still in the hospital day 5

hey fam, so I told what happened in my previous post so I will keep it simple here. My husband and I were in a bad car accident on the highway. The car involved was stalled in middle of the highway with no lights so by the time my husband noticed it was too late. Thank God nobody died ❤️ but as you can see I was severely hurt on my face and both my ankles were fractured. My husband got a small fracture in his wrist and the other people involved were fine.

... Read moreRecovering from a serious injury can be a daunting journey, both physically and emotionally. It involves more than just attending medical appointments and following a rehabilitation program; it encompasses mental support, lifestyle adjustments, and emotional healing. Many who experience trauma find solace in sharing their stories, as it fosters connections and community support. After an accident, it’s normal to experience a wide range of emotions, from frustration to gratitude. Understanding the importance of mental health is crucial during the recovery process. Consider practices such as journaling or joining support groups, as these can be vital in processing your feelings and connecting with others who have faced similar experiences. Physical rehabilitation often includes exercises tailored to your specific injuries. It’s essential to stay consistent and patient, as recovery time varies for everyone. Consulting with physiotherapists and adhering to their guidelines greatly enhances the healing process. Also, focusing on nutrition can help expedite recovery; a balanced diet contributes significantly to your overall health and can aid in tissue repair. Sharing your story, like I have, can inspire others and provide them with hope on their healing journey. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help and lean on your loved ones for support. Embracing vulnerability can lead to remarkable strength and resilience.

Full Body Recovery Stretch - 5 min. 🧘🏼‍♀️💗
Static stretching after a workout is KEY to muscle recovery and reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) aka the feeling you get of “you can’t move the day after a workout”. If you’re skipping out on stretching the muscles you worked you will end up with tightness, pain and aches for days.
