Hulyah-Hadassah MoShay Introduction: Greetings Amputee Coalition / Lead Advocate Training community. I Ms. MoShay lived a vibrant life as a Journeyman Electrician and a well-traveled Dancer before my 1997 diagnosis of kidney failure. Nevertheless, I found time for dancing, yoga, women's circles, and Spoken word adventures in the heart of Atlanta after relocating from ST. Croix US Virgin Islands. But one chilly 8 degrees December evening, in the North mountains of Georgia, frostbite set in, leading eventually to the amputation of all five of my toes. This unexpected turn left me feeling lost and uncertain. " - How can I dance without my toes and who want me as a companion (single)?" I wondered. It was a dark cloud over my once sunny life, casting shadows over my dreams.
Determined to regain my independence, I tried to walk and dance again without the proper prostheses( 3 failed attempts due to the type of cut performed for amputation and EXTREME NERVE DAMAGE Sensitivity). Therefore, my first attempt and continuous are still more challenging than anticipated. " - Oh no, I can't keep my balance!" I constantly exclaimed, struggling to stay upright. Frustration bubbled inside me as I realized my body wasn't responding like it used to. I feel the sting of disappointment and fear of losing what others and I loved most about me.
With my spirit bruised, I MoShay faced more hurdles. My beloved daily activities seemed impossible. " - I can't go hiking or travel now," I lamented to MY sister Mary over the phone, in turn, she temporarily relocated to Atlanta. GA from Columbus, Ohio to be my caregiver. Even simple tasks felt daunting, each step reminding me of what I lost. The weight of these obstacles made my heart heavy.
Overwhelmed, I considered giving up. " - Maybe it's time to accept my new life," I sighed to myself. The thought of never praise (with flags) and club dancing again was heartbreaking. My dreams seemed distant, and the once vibrant world felt muted. Yet, deep inside, a flicker of hope persisted, refusing to be extinguished.
Then, an unexpected visit from her sister Mary brought a ray of hope. " - MoShay, you are stronger than you know," Mary encouraged, offering a warm embrace. Her words sparked a new determination within MoShay. With the presence of "THE DIVINE ETERNAL SPIRIT" and Mary's support, I began to see possibilities I hadn't before. The path to healing was clearer now.
With renewed courage, I'm embracing my journey of healing. I slowly returned to lite-yoga and even adapted my dancing while I await the proper prostheses. " - I can feel the rhythm again!" I exclaimed joyfully. My resilience shone bright, guiding me back to joy and purpose, sharing my story is sharing the cause. My journey taught me that courage and compassion could conquer any challenge. For these reasons and more is why I choose to be a LL & LD Advocate to encourage our community and educate the policymakers and enforcers of our LL & LD communities.
