18 Months...
It almost doesn't feel real admitting I have FINALLY reached 18 months. You're probably wondering what the significance of 18 months is, and why it matters so much to me. Well, 18 months ago I took a chance on a life changing surgery, and 18 months ago I began my 18 month long recovery. . .

It’s officially been one year since I went in for the surgery that gave me my hope and life back. On May 12, 2022 I decided to move forward with a surgery called ankle distraction arthroplasty surgery to give my ankle one last hope ….   Sometimes we forget about the importance of our mindset, the importance of learning to accept change rather than fight it and the importance of loving and accepting ourselves for who we are, who we are becoming and who we are going to be. This post discuss the importance of accepting and making the change. Acknowledging something you once had is gone and learning to grow with it instead of against it.
 Today (Nov 12 2023), I am SIX months post-op from ADA.
Before I share a perspective I learned and a little bit of thought, I just wanted to say, the last six months have been nothing short of challenging, in fact as I stay in tonight to heat my ankle as it’s in pain, I feel even more grateful for everyone who has stood by my side for the last six months, but especially my family. Everyday for the last six months I have faced a challenge of some sort, and as rewarding as it is hitting todays mark, I can’t help but feel so blessed for those who I have surrounded myself with and the biggest thank you to my parents, who have shown nothing but endless support for not only these last six months but almost the last two years. This has been one hell of a journey, and it feels great to say I have successfully made it to my first milestone! There is nothing more Sarah than blowing up a bunch of random strangers’ phones with some form of inspiration, funny video or simply a picture of her dog. But there is also nothing more Sarah than trying to inspire others and become a support system for them, because she fought so hard without one for so long.
