Timehop Tears

I am writing this post with watery eyes because of the things the mobile app Timehop has been telling me happened on my social media pages three years ago, around when my accident happened. Every time that I’ve opened the app for over a week now I’ve seen a number of family members, both close …

My 3rd Re-birthday!

Today marks the 3rd anniversary of my accident, or my 3rd re-birthday. I am very thankfully that I’m still making progress, slowly but surely, as I stand up at my new stand up desk at home alone. I once again have to say that I could not have done/continue to be making such progress without all of …

Almost 3 Years Until My Rebirthday…

Here’s a picture of my plane ticket that I took upon boarding my flight from Orlando to San Francisco…if only a higher being of any sort could have told me what was to come six days later. But that didn’t happen, so now the only thing to do is look on the brighter side of …

#ThrowbackThursday1

I hope everyone had a great holiday season and a happy and safe New Year celebration! I’m making a New Year’s resolution for myself for me to update my blog at least once each month. I did this because I have been a major slacker at updating it and keeping everyone informed as to where …

Home Alone

Since I posted that photo of my friends and me from two years ago at the beginning of this month I’ve felt that I should update the blog with an actual entry as opposed to just a picture, so here we go… I’ve very fortunately progressed to the point where I can stay at home …

Oh, How the Tides Have Turned…

The photos featured are one of my brothers and me recreating a photo from almost two years ago. He and his wife were visiting Charleston for the first time in a pretty long while and his wife showed me the first picture at dinner their first night in town earlier this week. That’s when the idea struck me …

To Alabama and Beyond!

Three weeks ago the rents and I were just starting to see the Palmetto State in the distance. We were driving back from Jackson Gap, Alabama, which is where Shepherd Center holds their yearly spring camp, Adventure Skills Workshop (ASW), for both brain and spinal cord injury survivors. While this was awesome and everything it …

Mult-tasking

Just the other day a friend of mine posted a Timehop of her and a few of my other friends at my benefit fundraiser which was two years ago, 4/13/13. I have to say thank you to all the family, friends and businesses who helped contribute and attend the event! You all helped bring me …

2 Year Anniversary

I forgot to update the blog about my 2 year anniversary post last Sunday, February 1st, 2015. I am still making substantial improvements day in and day out, slowly but surely. Couldn’t do it without everyones’ continued prayers and support, thank you, I couldn’t do it without you all!

No Chair

This is where my chair sat all last weekend (1/2/15-1/4/15) while I walked to and from the car and then in and out of multiple destinations with both of my awesome parents spotting me as I walked with no walker. I figured this would be the best way to start out the New Year and …

One Year Anniversary

Tuesday, December 9, 2014, was my one year anniversary at Roper St. Francis’s Outpatient Rehab, so my dad was nice enough to supply lunch for everyone in the department today. It felt awesome to say thank you! [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6WK9xEAteE&index=18&list=PLM-1zOTJ-UZIH3TL2iV40xvqleaNhMwyg[/youtube]
