My face when the physical therapist said 10 more 1-legged squats... At therapy today, they found a curve in my spine. It's most likely because of a combination of happenings in the last few months. So, my therapy will be focusing on correcting that curve as much as possible. #planonit #healthylife #wellness #strokelookslikeme #mamasgotgrit #bodybyphysicaltherapy
"This happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life." ~ John 9:3b Y'all. Even this...even a stroke...can be used for the work God has for me. I keep hearing it. I kept saying it and hoping that it will sink into my brain. I knew it in my head. This morning I know it in my heart. This stroke is a part of my story. God didn't make it happen, but He can use even this to make an impact. #scripture #verseoftheday #preach #encouragement #strokelookslikeme #mamasgotgrit
I've never been much for vanity. I mean, I was confident enough and satisfied enough with how I looked. Then I had my second baby. 2 weeks later, I had a stroke. I spent over a week in a specialized ICU for neurology patients. My hair nor my teeth were brushed. My face wasn't washed. The medical staff and my family were busy keeping me alive. And I was too sick to notice or care about such things. Now here I am 2 months after a stroke, standing (without my walker!) in front of a full length mirror and taking a selfie. Today I feel more confident than I have in over 10 years. Even while I'm still in the thick of recovery and learning to prioritize with a growing family. What I realized is that it wasn't my disdain for vanity that kept me from "showing off"; it was my feeling that I didn't have much to show. Now I know how truly blessed I am to be able to stand. I recognize the miraculous works of my body, as the memory of not being able to move is still fresh on my mind. I find fun even in the simplest of tasks, like taking a selfie. Because two months ago, I was just praying to see another day. #selfie #mamasgotgrit #strokerecovery #momlife #fashiongram #momstyle #strokelookslikeme #arbonne
A big goal of mine during my stroke recovery has been to be able to wear Felix. Baby wearing was a massive part of Eli's babyhood. I have been missing it a lot with Felix. But look!! We have figured it out! Goal met! ✅ 👶🏼 #attachmentparenting #strokelookslikeme #mamasgotgrit #momlife #recovery #babywearing
Day 12 is all about getting over myself. I was embarrassed by a simple goal when I should have been celebrating. I couldn't even accomplish 1/100 of that goal 2 months ago! #celebrate #goals #positivethinking #strokelookslikeme #mamasgotgrit #30daychallenge https://www.facebook.com/mamacravings/videos/1293808680709799/
I graduated from inpatient therapy this morning! After 2 weeks in the hospital, I got to ring the graduation bell with the therapists and nurses cheering as I WALKED out of the building. #strokelookslikeme #recovery #mamasgotgrit #ibelieveinmiracles
