Hi All,

I'm at 16 months. 16. I can't believe its that long and I have not healed. Improved, but not enough to be successful at home and I've been out of work and life since.

Learning work arounds and strategies. Miss me. I'm not the same. I miss listening to music, reading books, hiking, swimming, driving, being very active with family and friends. I miss me time.

This life for us now is challenging in all ways. I would not wish on anyone.

Keep your spirits up and find things that feed your soul.

Peace and wellness,

Jace
