Last week, I was in a car accident, wearing a suit belt.  The airbag went off.  I hit the airbag hard - I was taken to the nearest trauma ER.  The ER doctors informed me that I had broken my spine, a bust fractured L1 to be exact.  

The next 12 hours were intense. I was scared.  I had many tests, a CT scan and MRI to determine if I would need immediate surgery.  I waited to speak to the surgeon. It was all terrifying.  But…… There was something else

There was gratitude

Gratitude - for being alive

Gratitude - to be able to move my fingers and toes 

Gratitude - knowing that I wasn’t paralyzed.

Gratitude - knowing that even if I had surgery that night, I would be okay.  

Gratitude for all of the very physical work I have been doing for the past 12 months. My body is strong and will support me in the months ahead in recovery from this injury. I am surrounded by loving support and 24 hour care from my family.
