Hi! I haven't posted in a while! I wanted some positive changes to happen so I'd have stuff to post about. But what I didn't realise is that the changes happen so gradually that days can feel overwhelming and you can't see the wood for the tree.
Its now 7 months since my accident. I often wake up from dreams of the accident, it makes me cry and I suffer from a bit of depression, then I tell myself to suck it up, it is what it is, and I get on with my day.
My days are pretty full of a mix of rehab coaching, physio sessions and daily workouts. I STILL have a broken neck. I need to wear an aspen collar daily to protect it and give it a chance to heal. But I try to build my wheelchair tolerance daily, you wouldn't think that it hurts to sit in a chair for more than 5 hours would you! I workout with my team of carers, I totally should do some posts that introduce the lovely people who work with me on the daily. They are a group of wonderful people. Dash is now lunging as I twirl the lunge rope over my head, he's such a good boy. My mum is busy enjoying herself riding dressage on him. I'm jealous of course, but I try to keep myself positive by thinking about the fact she's getting to enjoy the horse that I trained to be such a good boy. I've found out the saddle I want is $6100 AU which is doable, but I won't be able to climb up onto Dash without a hoist as well. Please if you'd like to see me happy again and riding my horse as a para rider, donate to this page.
