To say that the past 8 months of my life was a nightmare is a total understatement. Broken heart, broken neck, broken hair and more importantly, a broken soul. I have talked excessively about my broken neck and to a lesser extent, my experience with alopecia areata that left me with a small bald spot on my scalp ( thankfully, the hair has grown!) but what I did not mentioned on this blog was that I had also broken off from a long-term relationship with the boy just barely 6 weeks prior to my injury. Without a doubt, this year has been by far the toughest year in my life.
Thank you everyone for your encouragement and also, for staying with me throughout the entire recovery process! 🙂 Sure, it might not have recovered 100% but I’ll take it for I know that it could have really been worse. Now, I’m relieved to say that my neck is probably about 80% of what it used to be, minus a certain degree of flexibility and range of rotation. During our last review 2 months ago, he warned me of the possibility for a neck surgery to realign one of the bones and I was so distraught by the news that I kinda sank into a temporary state of depression. I’ve been discharged from therapy sessions and my doctor is surprised that my neck has healed way better than expected.
Has it really been 6 months since my life-changing injury? Fast forward half a year since that fateful day, my spine doctor and physiotherapist have given me a clean bill of health.
