The New Year is upon us and honestly, I am so happy! I have had amongst others, one of the worse years of my life and I know my family agrees. For me and my family, it has been nothing but hospital trips, illness, canceled holidays and life-changing experiences. I have never known a year like it! It's crazy the amount of bad luck we have experienced.
So yes, I am so excited for 2018 to begin. A year dedicated to my new knee, my recovery finishing, work, holidays, my 21st and lots lots more! I have been waiting for this year to begin since I sat in that hospital bed on the 2nd April 2017 high on gas and air and crying not only because of the pain but because, I dreaded the life I loved living coming to a stop and I feared the change. But now, I am so thrilled to start my new adventure, begin new ambitions and have a year full of happiness and fun.
A year where I can finally start being an adult again! Be able to go out with my friends... as here's a little secret, I AM SO EXCITED TO GO CLUBBING! I am eager to shake what my momma gave me and feel free. Where my leg isn't confined to this horrible, bulky and heavy brace and I can walk and drive around Independently. Where the only loyalty lies with me and fulfilling my ambitions. Where I can let my hair down and do whatever I please (safely.)
But before 2018 starts, I have a lot of thank you's to give out. So to all of you that have helped me through 2017, thank you! I have relied upon so many of you and have been such a burden. I wouldn't have survived or got through this year without you. I am blessed to be surrounded by so many loved ones and people that care about me. Those who have helped me this year, you know who you are; Thank you so much for your support and love, I will never be able to give back what you have done for me but I can't tell you how much I appreciate everything you've done. You've made this difficult and horrible journey bearable and turned what was going to be a horrible 2017 into a year full of ambitions and drive. You reminded me to focus on the good and to thrive in 2018; to make it my year.
Bring it 2018 - I am so ready for you!
