The accident
Hello, I am very sorry for not posting anything. After the accident and other stuff, I logged off tumblr and never wanted to get back onto social media. I am in a better place now and I decided to come back because in all honesty, tumblr always made me feel happy and safe and I just love doing it too much.
As probably all of you know, I had a pretty bad accident november last year. It was suppose to be a late night rollerskates practice with my friend and ended with me being rushed into emergency surgery.
My left shoulder was completly smashed. Not broken. Smashed. I needed 3 and a half hours of surgery to reconstruct and secure it with metal plates and screws. I also had a concussion and my spine was damaged. I was in hospital for over a week and at home for 8 more.
It’s been over 10 weeks now, but I still can’t properly move my arm. I still have trouble doing my hair, which is annoying because I used to love doing my hair, and I have to be very careful with how I use my arm. I lost 60% of my strenght because of ripped muscle, I can not hold anything in my hand for long because I will simply drop it, I can’t do many exercises because I can not lift my arm up higher than a few centimeters.
It’s been hard.I cried. My family disowned me. I had to move, I was threatend with homelessness on top of being officially disabled. My boyfriend broke up with me. We got back togeher. I lost friends. I gained friends.
But things are looking better now. I life in a beautiful flat with my best friend, she is getting a dog in a few days, I am almost done with school and I am glad I am still here.
And for everyone reading this, I am glad you are still here too! ♥
