Jumping ahead as I desire to share with you my healing journey…but today I have chosen to share a more personal and vulnerable part of my healing process. To share about those moments of weakness, feelings of discouragement and sadness through the process.

My physical healing process began after an injury in October of 2023, I will tell you about this in a future blog.

I will say this, from this injury along with the onset of arthritis in my hips,  I have been living with pain, and struggling to walk. Over the months, the lower half of my body has become weak.

I had great moments when my mind in in a good place and the pain is under control, and I am able to walk fairly well.  Then there are days that I stand up and struggle to make my lower body work without feeling discomfort.  Some of the discomfort come from arthritis (which runs in my family) and the other part is weakness and lack of strength, range in my joints.

I am in my second round of physical therapy, which I am extremely grateful to my therapist, Rachel who gets me and so supportive and encouraging through the process of working with me.

I knew with the climate change in leaving the desert of Las Vegas to returning home to a harsher climate in Seattle which is not friendly to us folk that are prone to arthritis…I wasn’t prepared for how badly it would hit me.  It has affected the quality of my life.

Like I said, I have had good days through my physical healing process and then there are those moments of weakness that affects my mental wellbeing.

Today was one of those days.  As I know I have made progress, I feel challenged when my body shows signs that I have a ways to go.

I am sure that I am not the only one that experiences moments of discouragement while going through a healing process.

We have to give ourselves grace and understanding that it will get better and to have faith in the healing process.
