Can't Do

By: Alicia Souveny

Three months ago I was hit by an SUV on my way to work. The weeks before I had played in a multi-sport league with a group of friends. I had celebrated Valentine's day with my husband by standing in our kitchen for hours, while we cooked a fancy meal together. I had been going to work. As a pediatric physiotherapist, I spent most of my days on my feet: crouching, Ā lifting or teaching exercises to kids of all ages. February 16th was also meant to be a work day until my accident happened. A fight for my life. Many scars, a colostomy, a minor brain injury, a couple skin grafts and a below the knee amputation later, there are many things I canā€™t do.

I canā€™t slide into home plate, kick a soccer ball or balance well enough to return a serve. I canā€™t ski. I canā€™t run. I canā€™t hike. I canā€™t hide my disfigurement. I canā€™t pick up my nephew and hang him upside down. I canā€™t take my dog out. I canā€™t carry a bowl of cereal to the table. I canā€™t walk without aids.

And thatā€™s not all. I also canā€™t poop in a toilet or control when I fart. I canā€™t keep my skin from getting irritated around my new ostomy site. I canā€™t go swimming. I canā€™t shower without a bag over my leg. I canā€™t leave the house without a backup ostomy and wound care supplies.

I canā€™t hang out in large groups for too long. I canā€™t make it through the day without a nap. I canā€™t remember a month of my life.

But there is still a lot I can do.

I can wake up next to the person I love. I can cuddle with my dog. I can laugh with my friends. I can hug my family. I can keep score at my slow pitch games. I can work hard on getting strong for when my skin is ready for a prosthesis. I can make plans to hike Mt. Assiniboine next year. I can help make dinner from the table. I can get around on crutches.

And I can poop in a bag! I can look forward to swimming in the ocean again. I can think of hilarious Halloween costumes for years to come. I can have fun. I can cry. I can motivate others. I can learn how to be a better physiotherapist. I can relate. I can live.

    RECOVERY NERD FIRMā€™s prompt action and proficiency in recovering lost investment funds were the precise reasons I was able to regain my lost money at my most trying period, following the loss of everything I owned due to my bitcoin investment through a binary option website. I was devastated to lose my hard-earned money, and since it was my first time investing in cryptocurrencies, I didnā€™t know how to proceed or what to do. However, I learned about the recovery firmā€™s expertise from reading many positive online reviews about RECOVERY NERD FIRM and how they have helped numerous scam victims recover their lost money. Nothing was omitted, and every possibility was explored. They are my lifesaver and are capable of handling any situation of stolen cash or hacking of any kind, which is their area of expertise. They did everything they could to ensure that I regained the money I owe them. Contact them using their Email=recoverynerd@mail.com
