When I was younger, like so many of us I was mesmerized by Craig Kelly. Moving to Nelson right after Jan 20th you could feel the community in mourning. I have been holding on to this book for awhile. Reading about the tragedy that altered so many lives can feel like peaking into a private diary. I finally picked it up and didn’t put it down for two days. Reading late into the night. What a beautiful gift Craig was to everyone.

I have been avoiding this platform lately because it takes me out of a healthy mindset and keeps me from showing up in a positive way for those that I love. Having a controversial disability and knowing that no one will ever be held accountable has pushed my limits of acceptance. The companies and governments responsible will never take ownership over the lives they have destroyed and that just is what it is. It is exhausting to fight, and exhausting to share. But, today I heard of a devastating loss to our community. It has been five years and the injured are still suffering. I owe my life to my family and friends for getting me the treatments that have gotten me this far and surrounding me with love and pulling me out of the darkness. I am one of the very few Canadians who has any support. It takes weekly physiotherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic care, osteopathy and monthly functional medicine appointments to keep me stable. Last week my spinal swelling meant my legs stopped working. If I didn’t have a supportive doctor on speed dial to get me on the right medication this relapse would have been much worse. I didn’t freak out when it happened this time. I know I have a team to get me through it. My life is completely altered but I am surrounded by support. Very few people have that privilege. It is not lost on me how lucky I am to be alive every day.
To my injured friends you are in my hearts tonight. I know this one hurts. I am sorry that I have been hiding. You are in my prayers. I love you all so much.

BBrianne Dressen you explained it perfectly. Our lives revolved around our kids. Now their lives revolve around our injury. I miss being the mom my kids deserve. They take care of everything; the household, the grocery shopping, driving me to appointments, cook dinners, bring me to bed, carry me up the stairs, change my ice packs, wipe my tears, try to make me laugh, have patience when I lose my words, can't walk, convulse, can't speak. They try to hide their grief. I know they miss their mom.
There are no symptom-free days. There are good hours, and bad. We try to find light through it all.
Thank you, Bri for fighting for us. I love you so much.

It has been 705 days since my life changed. This story does not belong to me. It is that of my parents, my children, my friends, my community. When our entire society was going through a collective experience unlike anything we had known in our life time, but, there was another story. I have been in contact with 1000's of people like me. Grandparents, young mothers, parents of injured children. We have supported each other through a time when the world did not want to believe we existed. When you ignore something it doesn't go away. Part of me wants to hide away and not share my truth but there are so many of us. We have to get this out there. This is a story of strength, vulnerability, laughter, joy, determination, surrender, family and friendship. Jaimie and I have been friends for 20 years. She is my sister. She makes my life better everyday. I am honoured to go through this process with her and Nathan Beninger. I am grateful for their families as well as mine for supporting us through this journey. I love you. Please share this with anyone you feel maybe interested. People in the industry or not. We appreciate it. -film .covid.care.alliance

Last night I had an attack. Full body convulsions. Locked jaw and spine. I spiralled into fear. I am relapsing, I am getting worse again. I will be like this forever. I want my life back”. Those are the lighter thoughts that come at these moments. Usually at this point I would take more medication to get my nervous system to settle. Medication that I struggle to get off of daily. Instead I gave myself a treatment with my wand and put on the Gaia channel. It settled. My spinal cord started to unravel it’s control. Slowly loosening it’s grip. I let the fear wash over me but didn’t hang on to it. At this stage of my healing I am scared to look back. That fear of degeneration is still buried under these tissues. That trauma of being gaslit by our healthcare has to be locked away until I am ready. The fact that a treatment settled me and didn’t flare my symptoms during an attack shows I am making progress.

Many injured friends have not. Too many took their own lives.

My body is re-patterning ways out of this nightmare. I am in awe that it hasn’t given up. It has gained weight and softened but I will not shame it for that. I am alive.

My house can feel like a hospital bed sometimes but it is not. I am in a home filled with love. Filled with an open door of teenagers that have no clue the impact they make on my spirit. I tell them but I don’t think they can hear it yet.

I live in a state of hovering above exhaustion, but last year I wanted to die. It was my only thought. 24 hours a day to escape the pain.

I usually celebrate Chinese new years but this year I will spend today being humbled by all of the help that I have received, by my body that has continued to fight. I will sit in appreciation of all of the love that has supported me and honour the beautiful people that have held me, inspired me and taught me. Day by day. Minute by minute we made it to 2023. ,

Embodying the Yang. Grounded to the earth. The magnets in this sand attached to our belonging and took the pieces that no longer have purpose. The sun bringing vigour to our cells inviting them to action. Coming out of darkness into health.
