One Month!

Happy One Month to me!!! I'm 4 weeks post-op from my PAO and arthroscopy today. Sometimes I can't believe that that amount of time has gone by and other times I know I've felt every single minute go by. I am still pretty bed bound, but I do try to do an outing here and …

My first outing!

Nine days post op and I finally left the house for my first outing! I had a whole slew of family visiting so I figured what better time then to head out for lunch. I had about nine people helping me so what could go wrong?! We busted out the wheelchair and my cousin wheeled …

I was so impressed with Sharp Memorial Hospital. I lived there for five days and everyone I encountered was great. The food for patients was impressive and surprisingly good too! My mom stayed the night with me my first and last nights there and Chris stayed the two nights in between. The first day he …
