Sweet Polly Anna is being loved and taken such good care of by her cousin while Mommy is in the hospital. ❤️🐾 I’m so thankful she’s in good hands and getting lots of love while I’m away. 🥰

I’m still finding little moments of beauty within my hospital room. ❤️🌺

Chloe, one of Jacob’s friends, brought me these beautiful flowers, and her kindness came at a time when I really needed a little cheering up. Sometimes it’s the smallest gestures that mean the most.

Thank you, Chloe, for brightening my day and bringing a little beauty into a difficult time. ❤️🌺

Sometimes the healing journey doesn’t look anything like you expected. ❤️

I’ve debated whether to share this because, honestly, I don’t have all the answers yet.

After having my pacemaker implanted, my recovery has been anything but normal. What was supposed to be a straightforward procedure turned into a week in the hospital, a collapsed lung, and now… these strange movements and tics that I’ve never experienced before.

I’m again back in the hospital while doctors try to figure out exactly what is happening.

The movements have been difficult to explain. My mouth and neck will suddenly move or stretch, sometimes making a sound, and I have no control over it. It’s frightening, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

Right now, the doctors believe this may be related to medication, but they aren’t certain yet. We’re still trying to piece everything together.

Not knowing is one of the hardest parts.

I share so much about natural wellness, healing, and taking care of ourselves here at Well Sage Collective. But this experience has reminded me that wellness also means knowing when you need help, asking questions, advocating for yourself, and allowing doctors to investigate when something isn’t right.

I’m still very much on my own healing journey.

I don’t know yet what is causing these movements. I don’t know how long they will last. And I definitely don’t have a neat little wellness answer to wrap this up with.

What I do know is that I’m taking it one day at a time. 🤍

I’m grateful for my Faith, my husband , kids, and dad, the people praying for me, checking on me, encouraging me, and reminding me that I don’t have to be strong every minute of every day.

So today, I’m choosing to be vulnerable instead.

If you’re going through something you don’t understand right now, please know you’re not alone.

Sometimes healing is messy.
Sometimes healing is scary.
Sometimes healing means admitting “I don’t know yet.”

And sometimes, that’s okay.

Please keep me in your prayers as we figure this out. 🙏🏻🤍

🖤 My New Health Alert Bracelet

I just got my new health alert bracelet, and I really love the idea behind it!

It has a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone to provide important health information in case of an emergency. Instead of trying to explain everything when you may not be able to, the information is right there for someone to access.

It’s such a simple little piece of jewelry, but it gives me a little extra peace of mind knowing that my health information can be accessible when it matters most.

I’ve added the bracelet I purchased here if you’d like to check it out: https://amzn.to/4qGebLO

Would you wear something like this?
I’d love to know what you think! 👇

My Cozy Healing - At Home Essentials ❤️

Being home and healing has definitely made me appreciate the little things that make recovery more comfortable. I thought I’d share a few things I’ve been reaching for every day.

💜My cozy blanket for me & Polly that my sissy got for me. It’s furry on one side, smooth and soft on the other. It has become our official recovery blanket and so comfy. 🐾

🧊 Ice pack I’ve been using for comfort around my incision area because it’s swelled all the way from my collarbone, to under my armpit and over to my arm. But, whatever you do, always follow your own discharge instructions for how and when to use ice.

🌺 Bra Strap Protector because those straps love to rub against the incision area
👉 https://amzn.to/4geQ4Ab

💊 Tylenol is one of the things I’ve been using for discomfort, following my care team’s instructions.

🛏️ My adjustable base bed, Honestly, this is my favorite thing and has been the best whenever I’ve been sick or healing! I can raise my head and feet to find a comfortable position without having to constantly rearrange pillows. It’s like being in the hospital bed, but way better and definitely more comfortable! I can sit up, while Bill lays down. I can even go into a zero gravity position like the outdoor lounge chairs. When my asthma acts up or I get a bad cold, it also has vibration to help keep the phlegm broken up. This has been the best thing I’ve ever gotten!

💜 My light purple Stanley that I keep filled with ice water and sitting beside me ALL day…even when I’m well. Staying hydrated is so much easier when the water is right there. 💧

And of course, plenty of rest, sunshine when I’m able, and lots of Polly snuggles. 🐶☀️

I’m taking this recovery one day at a time and reminding myself that rest is part of healing, not something I need to feel guilty about.

I’m home. I’m healing. I’m grateful.

Well Sage Collective has been a little quiet this past week. ❤️

We haven’t posted because I’ve been in the hospital, and honestly, I’m still pretty wiped out.

I’m finally home now and taking things one day at a time. My time in the hospital went from outpatient surgery to multiple days inpatient, and recovery hasn’t been exactly what I expected, so right now my biggest job is simply healing.

I’m learning that sometimes slowing down isn’t a choice, it’s something our bodies demand from us.

So for now, I’m going to be spending more time resting, enjoying some sunshine when I can, hanging out with Polly, and appreciating the little things.

I’m not quite ready to jump back into my normal routine yet, but I’m happy to be alive, and in the comfort of my own home. I can’t wait to be back with all of you. 🍃

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, sent messages, or simply thought of me. It means more than you know.

Here’s to healing, taking things slowly, and remembering that health is something we shouldn’t take for granted. ❤️

What is one little thing you’re grateful for today?

Day 4 with my frequency machine 😴

Today is a big day. ❤️ Today is pacemaker surgery day.

I actually slept pretty soundly last night, and longer than I normally do. No 3:30 AM wake up that I normally have!

I was up early this morning to shower, get myself ready, and honestly, shake off some of the anxiety that comes with knowing you’re about to have a procedure.

Before everything gets started, I’m spending some quiet time with God. 🙏 Taking a deep breath, praying, and reminding myself that I don’t have to carry all of this worry by myself.

As for my sleep journey, I’m still just documenting what happens. Four days in, I’m noticing that my sleep has been different from what I’m used to, but I’m not making any claims about why.

Today, my focus is simple:

Trust God.
Stay calm.
Take the next step.
And get through today. ❤️

I’ll keep sharing this journey as I’m able.

I want a baby goat!

I want a baby goat!

Sometimes bath time is just part of being a spoiled pup, or a stinky one.🛁🐾😂

The face started out saying, “How did I end up in here?” while Mom says, “You’re going to feel so much better when we’re done!”

She was learning to blow bubbles under water before we were finished❤️

Clean, fresh, and probably plotting her revenge.😂

Would your dog happily hop in the tub, or is bath time a full-blown wrestling match? 🐶🛁

The Day Before ❤️

Tomorrow is a big day for me. I’ll be having my pacemaker implanted.

If I’m being honest, there are a lot of emotions that come with knowing you’re about to have a procedure like this. But today, I’m choosing to focus on gratitude.

Grateful for the people who love me.
Grateful for the doctors and nurses who will take care of me.
Grateful that there is a solution to what my heart has been struggling with.
And grateful for another opportunity to take care of myself and keep moving forward.

I’ve always believed that taking care of our health means doing what we can, when we can, and sometimes that means accepting the help of modern medicine, too.

So today I’m taking it easy, spending some time with Polly, soaking up a little sunshine, and reminding myself that tomorrow is not the end of my story. ❤️

It’s simply the beginning of a new chapter.

If you have a little extra good energy to send my way tomorrow, I’ll gladly take it. 🥰
