One year ago today I broke my foot in four places. I was told by multiple doctors that it was best to “wait and see” if it would heal on its own, at first because of the unknown risks of covid surgery and then local doctors where I was sheltering in place not being confident of what to even do with the type of breaks. Finally in October, after being immobile for six months, I luckily found myself @hspecialsurgery and it was explained to me that I could make a full recovery with reconstructive surgery but that it would require breaking the bones again and putting in full hardware and donor marrow. Being forced to literally sit with myself thru the last year was much more trying than I could have imagined. At times I’ve felt down, helpless and then guilty for feeling those ways during what was such a difficult year for so many. It felt easier to shut myself off from people but the lack of connection made it all worse. Thankfully I have been surrounded by the most incredible loved ones who went to many lengths to ensure I was always cared for and well. I can now see that through it all I have gained much more than physical healing. I have new perspective and priorities, new creative outlets and have learned so much that will make the future even brighter. After a total of 10 months immobile, 5 casts and so many lessons, I am finally walking, getting stronger and feeling like myself more and more. I am slowly getting back to life and work. I can’t wait to see you soon on set or out in the world living and I hope you will share with me how this past year has challenged and changed you as well 💕 #quarantine #covid #lessons #perspective
