Lucy turned 7 today! She had a special breakfast with a fried egg on top and a candle (crazy dog mom over here!). She also came to a playdate with two of my friends and their two year old cuties. She got a bone marrow bone treat at night and a present to unwrap. She …

Graduated Water Therapy Today
I graduated water therapy today! I have been dreaming about this day for ten months. The first day I went to water therapy I met a guy that was on his last day of water therapy after his second hip surgery. He had the same surgeries I did and with my same surgeon. He was …
Ditching the Crutches
Walking into 2018 on my own two feet! All walking devices have been left in 2017. Peace out crutches! No walking devices in 2018! I set this goal for myself before my surgery. I knew it could possibly be unmeetable, but I wanted to have something to work towards. A couple weeks before the new year, …
New Year’s in Mexico
I am enjoying the change of years in Mexico at our friends' house. It has been quiet and mellow. Totally fine by me! I enjoyed the beach and as you can see in the pics, it's a long walk down and up. I went to the beach once for the first two days, but then …
Reflecting on 2017
With 2017 coming to an end (FINALLY), I have been reflecting a lot on life, the things that are most important and the ways in which I want to spend 2018. I have also been thinking about the growth, pain and challenges of this past year (or two). These quotes, I found, are resonating with …

I took my crutches with me, but never took them out of the car except for the one beach walk (up and down a …
Merry Christmas!

Holiday Festivities
Today was my first day in a long time that I didn't have any appointments. I decided to stay in my pajamas all day, listen to Christmas music, finish wrapping some presents and bake a gingerbread cake! It was exactly what the doctor ordered! I wish you all a Merry Christmas and I hope you …
Two Months Post Op
It's hard to believe that last time in recovery I was still bedridden at this point and this weekend I was alone and did everything myself! Pretty cool! It's exhausting, but it's all totally doable. I can cook, I can take care of Lucy with the exception of walking her and I can dress, feed …
Flyin’ Solo
I went to Seattle for about six days for my grandma's 90th birthday! We didn't tell her I was coming because we didn't know if I'd be able to make it. Chris wouldn't come and I asked to see if any friend's would want to come with but nothing panned out. So....I traveled alone for …
