From East to West

I fugure since I finally have my own domain where I can catalog my journey, I’ll be posting things as they come up on timehop.

This was the end of June in 2014 on my way back to the west coast. I did not know I would be living in the van after this journey, but thankfully I had decked out the inside just in case. 🙂 I was pulling a 6 by 12 uhaul.

Not long after leaving central Florida, my van was overheating tremendously, as was I. After following the process of diagnostics, taking out the thermostat, then replacing it with a new one, with lot’s of mechanics telling me I ned a head gasket for 2 grand, which I knew was totally wrong…I decided the best way would probably be to get a uhaul and tow the van.

Boy oh boy was that fun! lol I got to eh store just in time to have another stroke! With just enough time to go to another store entirely to pick up the car hauler…I ended up having to post on craigslist to get some help unloading the trailer, loading the truck, then loading the van on the car hauler! Apparently uhaul didn’t care or even know themselves how to use and attach the equiptment! lol

Thankfully the people I hired did. As we got the van on the hauler, we found out the hauler had a flat! hahaha

Of course we coudn’t fill the tire with the van on it, so off it came again…they pumped it up as best they could, only to have a blow out in Colorado! hahaha

The best part of that was some car yelling at me about how I shouldn’t be blocking the lane.

Sorry, dude, I didn’t plan where this would blow.

Anyway, I got off on a tangent there, just wanted to share some of my posts as they come up on timehop to share the jouirney as it should have been had I not been erased.

July 2016 · This was me leaving Florida last June…3 months after getting out of the hospital with my brain infection unable to talk or walk or remember who my neighbors were…
I had a dream in my strokes that told me what I had to do…
As the crazy person you know and love, I embarked on a journey to find it… And sailed through the seas of deception and strong undercurrents that should have stopped me…
Hard to believe I’ve made it this far this past year… My last stroke was a year ago after the brain infection… And I was on the road alone hoping I would finally stumble across the images in my mind…
Yeah, it’s been chaotic and rough… and another hospitalization, But also a magical transformative time where I’ve learned I have strengths I didn’t even know existed!
I’m giving myself a great big hug right now for being able to withstand the pressure… the hugs I was hoping to receive externally… To be able to find a way to heal, talk, walk and remember things again… while getting closer to the tipping point where I can now feed myself.
Im sure a home is right around the corner as I trust my dreams, and know that following my heart will not fail me.
Remaining patient, processing, accepting and loving where I am, who I am and what I’ve accomplished!
Thank you all for giving me the hope I needed to even attempt another day…
Yes, I did it… But there’s no way I could have without you…
Thank you!
Your love saved a life and created a badass in the process! 🙂
