The PAO facebook group I'm apart of has a husband and wife couple who send out PAO bracelets to PAO warriors. I just received a couple in the mail for Chris and I to start wearing. I'm totally obsessed with it! I've been feeling better since my headache stopped on Wednesday and I had a …
Practicing my walking skills at sunset! I posted a video of my new walking skills and had "Walking on Sunshine" playing in the background. I most definitely was 'Walking On Sunshine.' Each week I'm seeing so much progress. I've stopped looking at the day to day and am focusing on larger chunks of time. I'm …
I have been SO incredibly tired. I got in bed after our guests left on Sunday and have been there ever since. I could barely stay awake during water therapy yesterday and slept the rest of the afternoon. Today, I had PT for my neck. Thank goodness! I think my therapist could see that I …
I was able to put up a few Easter decorations and make a couple Easter baskets. My mom also left Chris and I an Easter basket, which was so fun to find and open! I've been getting into making my own greeting cards lately, so I made a couple for Easter too. The most exciting …
Fresh flowers seriously brighten my mood and just make me so so happy! They're all so different and full of life and color. I love watching them bloom and saving every last second with a bouquet before it runs it's course. Last week was a doozy of a week. It was just really rough mentally …
I was cleared to use one crutch when I'm moving around my house. Woohoo to milestones! That was seriously big news! So for the rest of the day Tuesday, I used one crutch around my house. I was so excited to be able to move my water cup from room to room and carry a …
There's many different types of supporters and visitors (more on this later). In the most basic of terms there's people who can support you in person and from afar. I was lucky enough to have some family come for a couple days in the week to help support me in my recovery. They came to …
My parents came to visit last weekend. We were all suppose to head to the mountains, but there was a storm coming in and I just can't even imagine being in the cold right now. I'm really sensitive to being cold because I get tense and it hurts. I took my parents to the …
One of my fellow San Diego "hippies" was admitted to the hospital for a collapsed lung. So another "hippie" and I went to visit her and support her in her newest medical challenges. We have a one month difference in our recoveries and both use mobileg crutches, so needless to say people visiting the room were …
So my caregiver got a break for a long weekend. I think it was much needed. He headed to the mountains and got some good ski days in. Nothing like going from the beach to the mountains! Anyway, I can't really fully take care of myself yet and I definitely can't take care of Lucy. …
