August 25, 2018 started out like any other Saturday- a lazy morning with coffee and the dogs at my feet. The afternoon was full of household chores. There was nothing to prepare me for my life being forever changed. I decided to take a relaxing bath, something I enjoyed immensely. The bath would begin with me being scalded terribly on my lower extremities and end with me being flown to a burn center 1 ½ hours away. I was not careless. As someone with mobility limitations and severe neuropathy, I was cautious in the bathroom. The water felt warm and relaxing…until it didn’t. The water became HOT quickly. Unfortunately, I altered my routine and laid back while the tub was filling. I could not get up, could not reach the faucet, and panic began to sit in. I was home alone. There was no one to hear my cries for help. It was terrifying.
It is estimated that I was in the tub for 10 to 15 minutes. Death was a certainty. I thought of my daughters, Meaghan and McKenzie, who have experienced far too much tragedy in their lives and my grandsons, Luke, Logan and Elliott, and I did not want them to grow up without their Grammie, so I somehow found the strength to climb out. My feet were blood red, skin was falling off and the pain was unbearable. I wasn’t sure I would keep my toes. The burn specialist looked at my feet and said, “your water heater is turned up as high as it will go.” I said, “there is no way." Anyone who knows and loves me is aware of my difficulty with judging temperatures. He was right.I have a good idea of the who. I don’t know the why.
Six weeks of hospitalization gave me way too much time to think. Ultimately, I came to the realization it doesn't matter why as I am accountable for my own actions. I choose how I show up to this journey. Some days are easier than others, but that is true for us all. My girls saw me in a vulnerable state for the first time ever. They faced the possibility of losing their only parent. It was tough on them, as they worried through 5 hours of skin graph surgery, saw me during wound care, and found themselves initially assisting me in ways they hadn’t before.None of us knew a thing about burns or wound care and truth be told, we still wish we didn’t.
Even medicated it is hard not to cry, yell out or even lose hope. As a woman of faith, I found myself repeating Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” over and over again.Faith has helped but also humor, as I have learned to love my “fish feet” and “lizard legs.” I am not 100% there, but I am laughing about it and those around me feel comfortable laughing along. It is a solid start to recovery.

How Hackers Gained Access to My Crypto Wallet and Sensitive Data through a Keylogger sent to my device through a phishing email.
I’ll advise others to be wary of the kind of emails they open, as this happened a few weeks ago when a phishing email was sent to my email unknowingly to me that it was a keylogger with the intent of stealing my private information and if not for the intervention of Morphohack Cyber Services, I would have been cleaned out completely. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Services a week after that incident and they detected the keylogger in my computer which has been there for months stealing my private information. If my crypto wallet was not drained, I would not have been aware of the keylogger in my device. Morphohack was able to secure my devices and retrieve my crypto wallet including the crypto assets. Their sophisticated security features and malware can beat any hacking tools available and they are very professional and ethical. Morphohack is a lifesaver and I hugely recommend their services.
