Our latest blog post...A Recovery Update, and a New Life QuoteThe week after my surgery was a completely unexpected and difficult week. Saturday afternoon, after I was released from the hospital, we picked up the dogs from where they were boarded. The young woman at the desk when we checked out said, “Boy, your dogs couldn’t be more different!” I sighed. I’d purposely switched where we were boarding them to the vets, because it was not only half the price, but we had been there so often with positive results, I thought it might help, especially with Lilly’s GI issues. Lilly was hoarse from barking too much, so I know it hadn’t been a stellar stay. Still, they both appeared normal and happy to see me. If only it were that simple.

How it all beganIn September 2016, my life took a 180 degree turn when I was diagnosed with Transverse Myelitis. This was followed by a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in December 2016, and Optic Neuritis in January 2017.
I began writing about my experiences as a way to cope with my sense of loss and new realities and move forward in hope. As I learn to let go of my identity as a teacher and small business owner, I have begun to find new beginnings and joys that all began with a seed of hope. It is my desire to share this with others who might be experiencing similar circumstances or just wondering what it is like to navigate this journey. I invite you all to follow me in the journey as I search for hope for life at 180 degree turn. The best way to get the latest updates from us is to follow us on Facebook and Twitter! |
