February 8th



One year ago today I went in. Never in a million years would I have suspected I would have brain surgery. Who Me? I think you have the wrong mri image?!

Well here I am one year ago still in shock that I had to have my head cut open. Not to be gross or anything as I have a tough time reading the operative report... (Don't worry I won't start relaying it now!) but it's still so weird for me some days to not think it's just a dream. I have had some great friends, family and healthy influences in the last year that have been so eye opening (no pun intended!) for me. I've learned so much that in a strange way I have to somehow believe those people who have told me that everything happens for a reason were right!

As far as the vision loss, it's taken awhile to actually just accept it and stop actively trying to find a cure (although there are some stem cell cases that have cured blindness - really). I am now researching the safest cars out there for us ... some great new options for safety that I'd never even pay attention to before...and one more... my hair grew back! Oh yeah, this time with bangs... life is good!

I am back to health coaching! I am having a ball with my latest venture of group sessions! I love helping them find their balance and providing nutritional advice! I am back into healthy experimenting with food in my house ...

To be continued. I plan on keeping this blog open even though I opened it a year ago as a way to put information out there on how I was doing after surgery. I may move the brain picts out of the way now .... One year later I am ready for the next phase!!

Enjoy your day! Even if it is miserable out! Do something fun! Make someone happy! Take a warm bath! Buy yourself some flowers to remind you that Spring is coming.

Be Well,
Krista

Welcome to my Blog!

Thanks for visiting my blog ... I decided to write it as there were many concerned friends and family that needed to learn about this phase of my life - leading up to surgery on February 8th. I have now had the surgery and am recovering here at home. I love all your comments! They make me smile and I am so truly inspired by them! I can not believe how much support there is out there...it matters so much to us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
