5 years ago I woke up completely paralyzed from the chest down with the impression I would never be able to walk again. It’s been 5 long years living with this stupid incurable illness. I was one of the lucky ones, it was a miracle I recovered as much as I did, even if it wasn’t 100%. I still have my permanent issues & things that I’ll never get back. Honestly every day is a struggle but I’ve been pulling through. TM doesn’t just affect your legs but pretty much every part of your body, from the muscle spasms and excruciating pain at times, to still being numb and not being able to feel what normal people can feel. It affects the mind more than I’d like to admit. 3 long weeks in the hospital having to relearn every little thing down to feeding myself as if I’m a child all over again. I’ve lost a lot of friends along the way but I’m so thankful to the few friends & family that stuck around. There’s a lot of things I’ll never be able to do again and I’ve had to learn to accept that. This day has permanently been imprinted in my mind of the day I lost everything & everything changed. I’m still not okay, but I will be okay even though I’m stuck like this for the rest of my life ❤️
