✨ HEALING ISN’T LINEAR — BUT NEITHER IS STRENGTH ✨

In 2023, a single moment changed everything.
A horse accident broke a part of my hand, which was then casted incorrectly & for too long, shortening my tendons — and with that came multiple surgeries 2nd surgery this year and most likely a third, endless rehab, and an annoying pain I never imagined. Even now, I deal with random cramping that can instantly take away the use of my hand. Some days it feels like I’m fighting my own body just to do simple things. To use my fingers the way I need to, typing, doing my hair, driving, gym, horse feet, lifting my saddle, the list is long…

But here’s what I’ve learned:

Strength isn’t about never breaking.
It’s about choosing to rise every single time you do.
This is my 6th surgery in 5 years so I know all about rising and strength.

I’ve had to rebuild myself piece by piece — not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and some days spiritually. And in that process, I’ve discovered a resilience I knew existed. Because I’ve gone through it in other ways over my lifetime. I know how to push through.

To anyone going through their own version of “starting over”:
You are stronger than you think.
Healing may be slow. Pain may come and go. But progress is still progress, and courage is found in every tiny step forward.

I may not have full control of my hand yet… but I have control of my mindset. And I’m choosing hope. I’m choosing patience. I’m choosing to keep going — even on the days it hurts.

Here’s to every setback that becomes a comeback.
Here’s to every person fighting a silent battle.
And here’s to the strength we uncover when life forces us to stop… and rebuild. ❤️‍🩹

Happy Thirsty Thursday 💋

The reason you haven’t seen gym videos! 💥💥💥

All from a horse 🎠 breaking a small part of my hand 🖐️ with incorrect casting done at urgent care. 🚑

I had correction surgery in December 2024 that did not work and we knew right away in the surgery as I was awake.  After the healing and I was able to start working out in the gym 💪🏼 my hand got infected in March severely; the pain to be able to lift was unbearable since then. I was sent to the infectious disease department & 4 rounds of antibiotics.

I still had to get another hand 🤚 surgery to correct issues that involved not being able to use my hand as well. I was unable to hold onto objects, I was unable to do dexterity tasks like typing, undo buttons or velcro, you name it I couldn’t do it.

❤️‍🩹 Today they fixed my hand after two years and it actually is corrected! ✨✨✨I could feel the difference immediately, after waking up. Dr found the blockage inside my wrist corrected that and they removed more infected tissue inside the hand and finger which was sent that off for testing.

If you don’t think I’m hardcore, I’ve never been hurt playing rugby for 15 years, or doing wipeout Canada, or doing tons of OCR races NOPE. Animals take me out and put me in my place and give me teaching lessons often 😊

I love my big girl QUEEN She does good by me. Slow and steady, reliable and loving 🥰 She is the top of my herd. Time to breed this girl up with her big b***y
