    God has angels all around us. This is similar to my story. I was in a roll over car accident and ejected from the car even though I had a seat belt on. We dont realize how short and precious life is and how we take it for granted when we can get up from bed and not need help. This is such an amazing story ❤ I am 6 years from my accident and I never take anything for granted anymore and I am so thankful everyday for just waking up and being able to get out of bed without a wheelchair and walker. This year I started with a personal trainer and doing yoga. I need to take care of this body that God gave me another chance in. Such an amazing testimony

My mother had back and knee surgery in her late 60s and early 70s and she recovered so quickly because she was so fit. She exercises daily and lifts weight several times a week, even in her 70s. Doing so really made a difference. Oh, how I wish Ms. Lewis well! She still has so much to do and discover here. I am so grateful that she is optimistic and driven. May she be supernaturally healed!

DID WHAT I HAD TO DO TO GET BACK UP AND WALK AGAIN. I HAVE TO TAKE IT SLOW AND EASY AND WILL CONTINUE TO L8VE WITH SOME PAIN. MY DAILY THERAPY IS PLAYING THE PIANO. I AM A PROFESIONAL ACCORDION MUSICIAN AND HAVE BEEN ENTERTAINING SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. LOST MY HUSBAND 43 YEARS AGO AND HAD TO RAISE AND SURVIVE TO TAKE CARE OF 4 CHILDREN.

    In November I hit a brick wall head on.. I broke both ankles, completely shattered the right with an open fracture. I had an external fixture for a few months. I had to move in with my daughter, used a bedside toilet and was bedridden.
    I just got the clearing to put weight on the right leg.
    God is good!! I only had ankle injuries.
    Before this I was super independent, and a huge introvert that didn’t leave the house much. I’m an accountant that would only leave my office to use the restroom.
    Life changed!!! I have pins and screws in my ankles but I’m starting to walk.. and will be walking moving and leaving the house more.. life changed.

    (Tears) I’m so glad Auntie survived to tell her story. I understood what she meant when she said she didn’t want to tell her family. She didn’t want them worried and there’s also some pride in there, as being the most successful or strongest in one’s family- we don’t like our family to see us down because we’re so used to them needing us, not the other way around.
