TUMULTUOUS RECOVERY

Dear friends of Hive,

I write this in the form of a letter because I believe any other way might not satisfy me enough.

I've been totally away from my phone because my folks were too eager to carry out the orders of the doctor. I wondered all this while, why they would adhere to such directives by the ‘Man in White'. The doctor didn't tell me his reason for not wanting me to touch my phone despite my continuous questions and that really frustrated me. It moved me from being slightly inquisitive to a little annoying. I am ashamed to say I doubted his intentions a little. “Maybe the accident was a setup. Maybe there was a plot against me getting those investors. Maybe it was something else that would gradually unfold in the grand scheme of things”. These thoughts that I blame conspiracy movies for, kept flooding my mind and I must say that I was at my lowest. In a generation where phones have somehow become a magic wand, I was kept away from mine for almost 11...12 days? I can quite remember.

So like the heading says, my road to recovery has been difficult. Hearing of the broken parts of my body especially my right leg was quite disheartening. I can't fully remember all the doctor said was wrong with my body...he used weird terms that I’d never heard but the one that got me was a possibly skull fracture. Apparently I hit my head on something that caused some internal bleeding. Fortunately after an MRI scan, it was discovered that my beautiful brain was still fully intact. Hahaha.

It was not funny though. Lying on the bed for days, not being able to sleep for many nights just thinking of life and the lack of it was torture. I've always had something to do. Ever since I could remember, I've had a lot on my plate that made me run around but now all I can do is use my imagination. And while my imagination can awesomely engage me positively, from time to time it spews out doubts and bad thoughts. I really needed my phone.

Physiotherapy has been the worse. I've always known that we take certain physical abilities we have for granted - like walking, using our teeth, stretching and so on. I saw a movie, Fresh, where a young lady could not sit because her boyfriend cut out and ate her buttocks and even though I still laugh at the idea, I realize how lucky some of us are to be whole. Even though I'm not whole at the moment.

This morning I was given my phone on the instruction of the Man in White. My sister says it's because I had passed the first stage of therapy and even though I felt like a dog being given a treat, the feeling quickly changed to ecstasy after I saw what @killerwot did. I saw the response from my family, @theterminal and many others. I truly missed you guys. I miss @wesphilbin, @kittygirl, @deraaa, @khaleesii. @killerwot is just an awesome person and I can never be grateful enough. There are many people that I missed their posts. I missed writing on prompts by @theinkwell community with @jayna personally chatting with me on what I write about. I cannot forget @thoughtfuldailypost headed by @wesphilbin, where I can post some of the crazy things I postulate about. Also @actifit where I meet people like @liftslikealady, @steevc, @ali and @jamerussell to tell them about my journey towards fitness. I had just begun gradually luring @tarazkp to join the fitness train when all these happened. Hahaha. Hopefully I'll pick up where I left off and maybe he'll help me do so.

Wow. Please forgive me if I didn't mention your name. This is taking so long. I love you guys. Thanks for your prayers. I can't wait to be back fully. But as is well known, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”.

Love, piratethanos.

Wow. That's a lot to take and I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I wish you strength on the road to recovery. Deeply sorry about that.

Thanks. I'm getting better.

Thank God.

Get back to it soon!

Hahaha. Please let me when I attempt it.

Get well soon okay, you will be fine

Thanks

You are welcome.

Get well soon.

Thanks. I'm on my way.

Damn!!! How did I not hear this??? Sorry, my love. I'll come and see you when I get into town.

Sounds like such a nightmare! But, as you say it's all one step at a time. Glad you're okay and recovering from it. It sounds strange that they would keep your phone from you, but, maybe it's to help you not get stressed or something.

Not having my phone actually ended up stressing me. Anxiety about my blog, Peakd, my work and a lot more were part of it.

Thanks so much for what you did. I was overwhelmed.

Funny how these things have a way of backfiring in that sense, at least you have it back now and are hopefully in a better place than you were when it initialy happened.

I've missed out on posts and articles and a lot. Should have been reading them while bedridden. Hahahaha.

@piratethanos

Perhaps the "Man in White" merely wanted you to rest... which meant no "tap tap...neck strain...eye glaze" phone in your hand? Continue to heal... we will be here waiting...

Thanks @stdd. Plus I love how you said yet.

Yes, because Terminal unites us all and introduces us) 🙌

Awesome

OMG! It was that serious?! Glad you're better now and that it didn't exceed that. Can you imagine?! 😭

Oh Pirate, a lot of people did miss you too. And I'm sorry that I wasn't as observant. Could I have your discord?

And uhm... I'm trying really hard not to laugh at that movie. He cut off her butt to eat?! Oh wow!

We missed you too. And yes, one step and soon enough you'd be here hitting it like never before!

You need to see the movie. Fresh is the name. It was weird, silly and eerily ridiculous. I've got discord but I do not know how to give you a link. I'll try to do that.

I'll try 😂

wow it's amazing what you're going through, I can't even imagine how you must feel. It's not just the 12 days without the phone, which is bad enough, but what's happened to your body. I hope you can fully recover and in a not too long time. Just remember, one day at a time 😊.

Thanks so much for this. It hasn't been easy at all but with support from people like you, I get motivation to improve myself.

It is good that the words of others manage to give you encouragement. You will continue to improve with the favor of God, and each day will be better🙏

Thanks for your prayers. I appreciate it

Welcome back 🙌Try to recover fully before you chase down more criminals 😂?
