This blog post will be in bullet points. There is tons I have to share but it will all fit better throughout the next four days.
I just want to recap for any of you who don’t exactly know the injuries I got from the accident. I tore the ligament in your ankle that basically holds it all together, also I cracked and fractured my fibula in multiple places, and lastly my ankle shifted out of place. In order to fix the injuries they put a metal plate and eight screws in my ankle

I am sorry there isn't many pictures. I was tempted to post some pictures, but I didn't want to make you guys queasy 🙂 So there is just a quick to the point recap of my physical recovery process. It has been a difficult 6 months, for the first time I was dependent on others, and it sucked. But we will go into that more during the week.
Love you all so much, I don't think I can say that enough. I have one little prayer request, please pray for my heart and spirit to be open to transparency.
