Never forget the struggle & never underestimate the growth that comes from your hardships. I learned a lot through that hard time, all my hard times really. But one thing that stands out the most from this one is that even at the lowest low when I was so depressed I wanted to die, I realized I had to figure out how to be ok... how to be happy even though my life felt like I was trapped in a nightmare. Thankfully this surgery lessened my daily struggling to a more tolerable state. But the greatest thing I did for myself was that I trained myself to find happiness every single day in the smallest simplest things when my life was awful. I am so free now by doing so, I live mostly in the moment enjoying what I can from today, each day. There is great power in releasing worry of the future or dread of the past. If you are struggling I challenge you to focus on what will make you feel better right now. Do that, take care of yourself & make good choices. That’s all we can really do. When you let go of over planning or trying to control everything that’s when the magic happens. I actually have a theory that a lot of the depression in this country is due to the fact that we live far too comfortably & we become complacent. I think a little struggle is healthy‍♀️ #gowiththeflow#embraceeverything#surviveandthrive#liveinthenow#brokennecksurvivor#lifeisamazing#cutthroat#gnarscar#fuckyourgoodvibesonly#keepitreal#keepitsparkly#bestronger#drunkdriverssuck

"The journey in between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life takes place." -Barbara De Angelis And so I danced myself outside today for some fresh air. #babysteps #brokennecksurvivor

Me a year ago. What a difference a year can make & what a difference the surgery made. I lived with that awful injury for a year & a half waiting 'to see if it would get better' I kinda wish I had just pushed harder for the surgery sooner but electing to get your neck cut open is scary business!! Anyway fuck the drunk driver who did this to me, I doubt he even knows the outrageous affect his actions had on my life. Here's to staying strong & keeping hope & overcoming hardships. I know we all have them, never loose hope & never loose who you are, even in the darkest of days and NEVER give up! #tbt#drunkdriverssuck#necksurgery#brokennecksurvivor#deathcheater#neckbraceswag#staypositive#overcome#keepyourchinup#nevergiveup#thistooshallpass#choosehappy#bestrong#dontdragmedownmotherfucker#riseaboveit#stayup#keepyoureyeontheprize#destroywhatdestroysyou#provethemwrong#dontgodownwithoutafight

Heading into week 6 with the #surgicalhalo I’ve talked with a few other women who have gone through the same procedure and all three of them wore their halo’s for 8-9 months. Feeling blessed I’m only looking between 8-12 weeks. Lucky to be alive and excited to get back to the day to day. Including the gym. • • • • • #brokenneck #cervicalspine #C1 #atlas #medicalhalo #blessed #uofuhospital #brokennecksurvivor #luckygirl #healingjourney # #Utah #801 #slc #saltlakecity

Been working hard in the gym to get back to my “pre” spinal injury body. Things are looking up! Consistency, humbleness and gratitude got me here. • • • • #brokenneck #brokennecksurvivor #acdf #acdfspinalfusion #spinalfusion #spine #spinalfusionsurgery #injuryprevention #spinalfusionrecovery #inuryrecovery #correctiveexercise #utah #801 #slc #spinalfusionrecovery #utahtrainer #sandypersonaltrainer #onlinecoach #sandypersonaltraining #BTC2018 #results #progress #backtome #beasty

Someone just liked this picture so I thought I would repost it cuz it's so gnarly this was right after I woke up from my neck surgery. I asked my cousin for some sunglasses, had her & my sister change me out of the backless gown into my own sleeping dress threw on some makeup & went down to the Starbucks in the lobby this was all before the local antistatic wore off, I mean look at that eyeshadow lmfao, you can see my surgeons sharpie marks creepy If you know me at all you would know that is so how I roll lol #coffeefirst but omg once those meds wore off I was stuck in there the next 3 days in horror until they finally got it together & regained control of my pain. A pretty fitting grand finale to a totally horrific chapter in my life. But for realz tho... at least I lived #drunkdriverssuck#brokennecksurvivor#necksurgerysucks#discectomy##nevergiveup#toughasnails#necktattoo#gnarscar#glamorousaf
