TW: Trauma, Mentions of Death, Graphic Photo
2025 could not be any more different that I expected. After a family trip to visit family in FL turned into a hospitalization, intubation, right cerebellar stroke (Wallenberg Syndrome), near death, and extreme debilitation - I am back!
This journey is nowhere done, I have been at some of the lowest times from exclusively using a feeding tube, inability to speak due to intubation, in addition to vocal cord paralysis disrupting speech and swallow, difficulty standing, walking and stair negotiation was daunting, to completely re-learning breathing, and strength. Truly there are no words to describe the process.
This journey has not been alone - I have been supported throughout. I have not been alone for a moment, my village has been part of this In entirety.
I am back, I certain have my work cut out for me, but I will come out stronger because of this. I cannot wait to be back in one of my favorite places seeing incredible clients.
