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,  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 can’t do.
I can’t slide into home plate, kick a soccer ball or balance well enough to return a serve. I can’t ski. I can’t run. I can’t hike. I can’t hide my disfigurement. I can’t pick up my nephew and hang him upside down. I can’t take my dog out. I can’t carry a bowl of cereal to the table. I can’t walk without aids.
And that’s not all. I also can’t poop in a toilet or control when I fart. I can’t keep my skin from getting irritated around my new ostomy site. I can’t go swimming. I can’t shower without a bag over my leg. I can’t leave the house without a backup ostomy and wound care supplies.
I can’t hang out in large groups for too long. I can’t make it through the day without a nap. I can’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.

I realized that I had been defrauded of my entire life savings by a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment broker who refused to give me access to my money and insisted that I make additional payments before I could access it. This situation persisted for weeks until I had to withdraw my money for a medical emergency. I was devastated and my life was in ruins, but as I was looking for a way out, I saw a post about Recovery Nerd Agency, a crypto recovery company that has helped countless people access specific information and has had great success in the past recovering cryptocurrency, lost data, and stolen funds. After doing some research and becoming convinced of their service, I got in touch with the Recovery Nerd Agency, who helped me recover all of my stolen cryptocurrency.

The majority of people give up their money after being defrauded multiple times. I mention this because I was also a victim when I lost $345,000. After reading about RECOVERYHACKER101, I decided to get in touch with the company at recoveryhacker101@gmail.com, and I’m pleased I didn’t give up. They assisted me in getting back all of the money I had lost.
I was scammed by a binary option website. I lost about $253,000 to them. It was a really hard time for me because that was all i had and they tricked me into investing the money with a guarantee that i will make profit from the investment.. I was referred to RecoveryHacker101, they are recovery specialists for all types of online scams, they helped me in recovering all my lost funds I couldn’t believe at first that this was possible as i have lost all hope in contacting anyone on the internet, but i guess not everyone is bad after all. You can reach them on (recoveryhacker101@gmailcom).
