Alongside her heartfelt message, Cara shared photos in a Thai hospital and at home with her family afterward, along with a snap of the journal entry she wrote while tracking her recovery journey.

"Today is the 1st day I could eat and sit up in bed," she noted in the entry. "I've been in 4 hospitals now. I am strong. I will get through this. I have to. I have so much more life to live."

"I refuse to let this take me away from this beautiful world," Cara continued. "I will keep fighting. I will not let this unfortunate freak accident rob me of anything. I am so lucky to be alive."
