Message from Courtney-

It’s my 6 month survival anniversary today ❤️
It was an odd experience to walk out of the doctor’s office knowing I did not have another appointment for a month. And the following appointment will not be for 4 months. I’ve been to the same clinic almost every single day since October 8th. PT, OT and speech are all apart of my past. I’ve officially graduated. This exhilarating feeling might be comparable to passing nursing school? This week I returned to work full time. I feel so privileged to have my career and be surrounded by loving coworkers. Grateful and blessed don’t seem to convey the emotions I feel. I didn’t know if I’d ever work again as I required a wheelchair and walker to get around. Some may think I’ve had a rapid recovery, but I try to remember I still have a ways to go. I’m getting there. I still feel off balance when I’m walking. I lost majority of my muscle, and it’s tough to get back. I hide the fact that half of my head is shaved. There have been numerous challenges that I have faced, but I’d prefer to reflect on my joys and blessings. I get to work. I get to clean my house. I get to go outside when it’s -30°. I get to live life, and that is the biggest dream come true I could ever ask for. Thank you all for your continued love and support, I am forever grateful to you all! 
Love, Courtney
