My First Workout!

7.7.17 OMG OMG OMG! I took my first workout class in over a year! I went to a barre class. This is such a huge milestone for me. I survived and am no worse for the wear with my hip or neck. I was so nervous before class that I had a stomach ache. I …

Chillin’ Like A Villian!

PT has been getting more intense, which is great, but also exhausting. I have been waking up and making a coffee from my new coffee bar that I put together and then going back to bed and reading. I can finally read comfortably with my neck, which is a great new milestone and accomplishment! Reading …

First Road Trip

I went on my first road trip to Mexico this past weekend to celebrate the 4th of July. I just love it down there and we enjoyed hanging with some good friends. I did a lot of stairs and took my first small beach walk! I had to walk over some slippery beach rocks too …

Beach Therapy

Big day today! I drove myself to the beach, carried a small chair and towel, walked onto the beach/sand and relaxed for a couple of hours. I even took a nap lying on the sand, which means I got down to the ground and up by myself! I also could move the sand around to …

Paying It Forward

We laid pretty low this weekend. I ended up sleeping a lot, but I still feel ok after the car accident so I'll take it. Now that I'm driving, I made a point to go up to San Clemente to visit a friend that has just finished her treatments and surgery for breast cancer. She's …

Seattle Trip 1

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 …
