Seattle was great! My hip survived and so did my body, but I am so exhausted. I've been sleeping ever since I got home just to recuperate a bit. I had to bow out of some activities and obviously drive most places because I knew I wouldn't make it walking, but all in all, it …

Seattle Bound
Lucy and I made it to Seattle. This was my first time flying alone (minus Miss Lucy Lu) since neck surgery. I can't thank Alaska Airlines enough for their kindness and help with everything. It all went so smoothly and I didn't even have to lift a bag. I'm totally over the humility of sitting …
4 Months Post Op
Today marks 4 months post op for my hip and the 200th day of using my bone growth stimulator! It was a big week for me physically and I feel like I may have turned a corner this week. I met this lovely lady and fellow PAO Warrior at a San Diego "hippie" meet up …
A Big Week
I had one land therapy and two water therapy appointments this week. That was my first time having that much PT in one week. I have max'd out on my water therapy exercises which is great timing because next week will be my last appointment. With the set back over the weekend, I ended up …
POR Weekend
Chris helps run a charity for pancreatic cancer, called POR or Pants Off Racing. They put on an annual run and this year it is in November, but during the year there are several other events with the charity. Every year they put a team together and run the Santa Barbara Wine Country Half Marathon. I …
Friends
Chris and I took the train up to Santa Barbara and then headed to Solvang for the half marathon tomorrow. I won't be running obviously haha! Heather and her husband, RJ, got a babysitter for their kids and came up to meet us. It was so fun having dinner and drinks with close friends! Each time …
Baseball Game
So after a birthday party yesterday, we went to an Angel's baseball game. I have had to miss a Padre's game in San Diego with friends because I knew I wouldn't be able to sit for that long and in those kind of seats. This time I almost backed out, but I'm so glad I …
Friendship
I have really struggled with living life solely from my house and having to be a friend from afar. It's not who I am and it's so hard to only be able to support my friends with distance. I've missed out on a lot of activities, hang outs, celebrations, etc. When my friend's mother baby …
PAO: Persevere and Overcome
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 …
Flowers
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 …
