I can physically see how much your facial expressions are coming back more and more. The facial massages are working miracles!! I am so happy you are getting back to yourself!! Keep working hard your almost there!!
I haven't finished the video yet but I just wanted to say how absolutely amazing you are. I am so grateful to be able to hear your story and witness your strength. I have never gone through anything so dramatic, but I have a microcosm of your experience sort of in that when I was 18 (23 now), I was hospitalized for 9 days because of severe anorexia and malnutrition. it was the only time I have ever been hospitalized and I will always say that it was the BEST 9 days of my life up until that point. I had been slowly dying from an eating disorder that had spun way out of control and my friends, family, and teachers had watched me physically and psychologically slip away without saying or doing anything for months. I had to advocate for myself to get any treatment at all and then to be hospitalized when nothing worked. I really believe that if I hadn't had that strength then, that I would have died. but similarly to what you were saying about the nurses and everyone who went above and beyond for you when you were so sick, the nurses and a doctor did the same for me then. they really became my friends and spent time with me and got to know me on a much deeper level than my medical situation alone. I think that kindness gave me the push to continue advocating for myself and to eventually recover after I was discharged. now I am fully recovered and am working in a hospital for the first time, which kind of happened by accident. I am called a patient care attendant so I have the easiest job in the hospital, I have no medical scope of practice so I can't take vitals, give meds etc, I just sit with one patient each shift and stay in their room and help them with basic stuff like toileting, walking to the bathroom, personal hygiene, feeding, etc. mostly dementia patients so far but could be anyone who needs constant supervision/help like people on suicide watch or high fall risk patients. I really really love it and its my own story, my new job, and stories like yours that are making me seriously consider going to nursing school now. thank you for sharing your story with us, it is a huge privilege to be able to hear it and I appreciate you so much
Stay strong queen! first of all, the good thing I did today was that I agreed to take care of a child when his mother was gone for 2 days because someone would take care of him...
Act of kindness that blessed me more than I was able to bless the recipient; I got my eyebrows done and as I was talking to the tech she told me she was going back home to India to see her family after 5 years. She told me she was most excited to hug her mom! Her trip was initially going to happen in 2020 but due covid it was cancelled. I remembered how special it was for me to finally hug my mom after not being able to due to distance and covid - so there we were in tears at the eyebrow bar! I paid for the service then told her I wanted to give her $20 to take her mom to coffee on me! She came around the front desk and asked if she could hug me and of course I said! It literally made my DAY to have such a beautiful connection with her as a daughter wanting her mothers hug! I literally sat in my car in tears. She since came back and shared the experience
Scars are a physical representation of your survival

You're amazing
You are an amazing woman

A recent act of kindness I did was I saw an elderly man struggling to carry a heavy bag of groceries, so i helped him bring the groceries to his car.
God bless you immensely
Sharing your bad experiences made me feel very grateful and motivated to do everything I can to look after my health
You are so strong!! Lots of love❤️
👏 Bravo April. GBS is tough, but you are bigger than it.
