I am four months post op as of February 16th! This week I'm still a bit out of commission after bowling, but slowly gaining energy and strength back. I did my normal PT routine on Tuesday and biked for 30 minutes. I biked at a level 7 the whole time which was a first and …
On my last PT session of the week, my PT said I could wean down to only one day for my hip and one day for my shoulder. We joked that we are slowly starting the break up process! I'm completely fine with this type of break up and actually quite stoked. Sorry Jeff! So …
Today I saw my surgeon for my three month post op appointment. I walked in with no crutches and no limp! I was excited for this appointment and to learn my most recent x-ray results and possibly be able to set my hardware removal date. It was a PAO party in the office that day! …
My friend, Kristina, came to visit today. We had a delicious Dutch baby pancake and grapefruit and coffees from my coffee bar. Yum! I haven't gone for a walk from the house and without crutches yet, so we decided to give it a try. We walked down to the beach and watched the surfers from …

So...holidays are normally quite tiring for everyone, but I didn't even think about it until today...I'm not 100% yet and therefore with recovery and the holiday fesitivites, I am so exhausted. 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 LH readers! I hope you had a happy, safe and family filled holiday. Much love to you all!
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 …
Present wrapping party success! We had a great group of friends come over, donate money for the family and help wrap all the presents to send to one of the families POR is supporting this year. Us San Diego peeps are supporting this particular family whose mom was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The family …
