Hello, Friends! β£οΈ
I hope you are all doing well!
I apologize for keeping so quiet for such a long time. I've been posting on my personal account some, but mainly I've been working really hard on recovering from my death last June.
For those who may not know, I suffered two cardiac arrests and then spent a few weeks in a coma while doctors waited to see if my heart would start working again.
Ever since, I've had to learn how to use my body again. Walking, talking, eating, even breathing. It's been a lot of work - as you can imagine.
While in the hospital, I also had Pneumonia, a Seizure, and Covid. Covid made my hair fall out, hence the hat. π
I spent 159 days in the hospital and finally got home home on November 30th.
When I first returned home, I was in a wheelchair, but - thanks to daily home physical therapy - I progressed to a walker, then a rolling walker (a Rollator), and now a cane.
I'm now in an outpatient physical therapy program twice a week and rebuilding my strength and stamina.
I hope to soon be able to more easily go up and down my basement stairs so that I can open The Blue Goose Boutique back up again.
Until then, I'm going to try to get this account rolling again.
I've missed you all terribly!
Many of you sent me sweet cards and thoughtful gifts and kind messages and I can never thank you all enough to let you understand just how much you all have helped me through this long year.
Thank you!
Happy Monday,
Rebecca π
