I really thought it would be just a simple surgery…
Instead, life decided to test how strong I actually am🫠
Three years ago, doctors found a tumor in my leg. It was supposed to be routine. Quick. Easy.
But the tumor was growing inside a nerve
They had to remove it together with the nerve.
When I woke up, I couldn’t move my foot🥲
A week later, I went through a second surgery. They took a nerve from another part of my leg and connected it to my sciatic nerve. It wasn’t a miracle fix. It didn’t magically bring everything back. But it gave me a chance
And I took that chance🌠
Rehabilitation. Physical therapy. Acupuncture. Frustration. Tears. Stubbornness.
Step by step, millimeter by millimeter, I worked for something most people never think about simply moving.
I still can’t wear heels.
But I can walk. I can move. I can live fully.
Sometimes life forces you to pause.
But if you’re patient enough and stubborn enough you come back stronger than before.
I may look soft.
But I don’t break that easily😎
