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 …

Supporters

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 …

Family Filled Weekend

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 …

Water Therapy Started

Today was the day! I started water therapy. I was both excited and scared. I had no idea what to expect. I woke up in pain today which means it'll be a high pain day all day most likely. I had nothing to wear because my groin and hip area are hyper sensitive and they don't …

Fun Distractions

Happy Friday all! I have a good friend who is in town from LA to keep me company and to help me out for a couple days. Lots of hanging out in bed, laughter, Lucy snuggles, eating take out, tv watching, working, researching home improvement jobs, wedding dress shopping and house hunting. Thanks Jen! So much …
