Awakening from Despair

Travis, it was very difficult for me to read your blog because I can really relate to it! On Christmas Even in 2014, I hit some black ice, everyone was fine, but my 1 year old was screaming, so naturally, I got out to check on her. People stopped to help, asking if we were okay and then...someone screamed "Run! Truck!" I had to leave my little 1 year old in that car and run for my life, while praying for hers! The truck hit my vehicle, the concrete on the side of the overpass and then me before stopping! She saw me get hit, I saw her get hit. I hit my head on the concrete when I went down, everything was black and silent, then I opened my eyes, crawled out from under the truck that hit me and screamed for someone to please get my baby out of the vehicle before someone killed her! I saw the EMS pull up and get out a gurney and thought, oh man, someone has to go to the hospital. Little did I know, I was that someone! I wouldn't go out at night, I wouldn't drive/ride in a car! I get it!

Travis, thank you! She is fine now. She went through a period of not wanting to be away from Mommy's side and not sleeping anywhere but with us, but other than that and a bruise on her cheek at the time, she is fine. Me??? I am getting there! I need a new hip. Since that day, my left knee and left hip have been very painful. I am working out as much as I can on the days that I can and trying to make it stronger. I will be able to do so much more with a new hip! 21 more pounds to go to get it!

Man wouldn't it be nice if we could as adults bounce back from things like our little ones do. Good luck with the hip surgery, as far as the 21 goes, you can do it! keep up the good work :)
