"For what it's worth: It's never too late to be whoever you want to be.

I hope you live a life you're proud of, and if you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start over."

Convinced my life is always a Taylor Swift song.

Convinced my life is always a Taylor Swift song.

I have spent so so much time picking up the broken pieces from this past year and a new chapter is finally beginning. 💕

Surgery #6 done ✔️ Everything went well. Doc

Surgery #6 done ✔️

Everything went well. Doc said my bone growth was pretty significant and they had to take a lot out. It went all the way from my ulna to my radius. I’m pretty sore this morning and doing my exercises is not fun 🥴 but we are managing. Starting OT today and have to get some braces made that I can sleep in.

I ended up getting a lot of hardware taken out. All 3 limbs were operated on but hopefully this will help me with the daily pain I am in. Arm plate/screws came out (which I’ve had in for 10 years now, might miss it a bit 🤪), screw in knee, 2 screws in left ankle, and my long screw in my right ankle (far right) all came out. I’m less robot now.

Definitely aspirated when I was being extubated so been coughing up a lot of stuff over night but it’s getting better this morning.

I have a lot of hard work in front of me and the next 6 weeks will be very vital in my long term recovery. My arm is still stiff and doesn’t want to rotate like it should so a lot of cranking on it and hourly exercises will have to be done. Pretty similar to what I went through when my leg didn’t want to work.

Anyways hopefully this will be my last surgery and I will be able to get back to “normal” in the next 2-3 months! Thank you all for the kind words, for thinking about me and for those who have texted me it means the world.

My year of hell is almost over. 🙌🏻

“I’m coming to terms with a broken heart, I guess that sometimes good things fall apart.”

3rd time seeing @illenium in the past year and my love for him grows more and more with every show. Thanks for another amazing night Nick. 💕

8 months since my accident and 8 significant momen

8 months since my accident and 8 significant moments each month November-June.

Something I’ve been working on in therapy is giving myself compassion and appreciation for how far I’ve come. I went from that first picture and being in a wheelchair for 4 months to now walking unassisted without any device. That. Is. Huge. And I did that in just 8 months. I have pushed myself through so much pain, blood, sweat and tears to get where I am today.

A weekend that was going to be one of the best weekends of my life turned into the worst nightmare someone can think of, but here I am alive and able to share my story.

Still many more battles and obstacles to overcome but I have overcome the worst obstacle- death. And if I can overcome that, I can overcome anything.

Always here to remind everyone to stay strong, keep up the hard work and to always fight for the life you want. Life can be short and we sometimes forget we aren’t invincible. I hope you live a life you are proud of. 💕

The best of me is yet to come. 💕

After an impossibly hard week I took myself out for a little date today and it honestly was perfect. Self love isn’t easy but it’s always worth it. 💕

Nothing compares to puppy snuggles. I don’t look forward to the day where you are too heavy to pick up and hug. Love this sweet boy so much. 💕

I’ve learned life is truly precious. We think we

I’ve learned life is truly precious. We think we are invincible and think we could never be the victim of a horrific accident like mine. There can be a healthy balance of living in the moment while being mindful of your future. Appreciate the small moments and I encourage everyone to be grateful for waking up today. We can have hard periods of our lives, depression, anxiety, or PTSD and still have small moments of happiness until we get through the storm. I am grateful to still be alive and am able to experience moments like this. Continue to stay strong 💕

I have a lot to say but honestly don’t know how

I have a lot to say but honestly don’t know how to articulate everything I want to say into words. I am angry. I am sad. And I am so scared for the future of women. What has happened is devastating for many.

Religion should not play a part in the lives of people who do not believe in that religion. Believe what you want, but for those of us who do not believe in your God, we should not be forced to abide by what your scripture says.

As a rape victim myself, I can’t imagine what would have happened if I became pregnant by a man who didn’t put a condom on before violating a 15 year old. When I spoke to people at my church about it, I was shamed, I was ridiculed, I was shut down about being a victim.

I hope significant reform will come after this. More help for the poor. Resources for kids in foster care. Daycare options. Sex education. Providing preventative measures. Hell even having formula on shelves to be able to feed these babies.

Having a child is a privilege at this point. They cost a lot of money, take up a lot of time and are a huge investment mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. Not everyone has the life to manage a child, or even multiple.

Even now as someone with a laundry list of health issues, getting pregnant would be harmful for myself, harmful for the baby. And yes I am doing everything in my power not to get pregnant, but guess what it still could happen. And many people can’t afford the measures I am using to prevent pregnancy.

As a NICU nurse I have seen many horrors. I have seen babies suffering. Babies in pain. I have seen things nobody should see happen. But it’s fine right? It’s okay for them to suffer in pain for months on end until they die. It’s okay for them to go into foster care just to end back up in the ER for shaken baby syndrome. It’s okay for them to be discharged to families who cook meth in the house slowly killing them. For those of you who are pro-life, their life doesn’t stop after they are born.

I know this post will upset many people but I’m truly hurting for women all over the country.
