One of my best friends had a baby a couple weeks ago and asked me to come up and help her. I'm so honored she asked for my help and I'm so happy I can finally drive up and see her. We've been joking for months that we're basically doing the same things but can't …
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 …
So today marks one year from the day of my accident with my neck. This past year has sure been an interesting one and definitely not what I was expecting. It's been the most sedentary year of my life to date. For an active person, that just might be the hardest part of all this. …
Here's a bunch of pictures from the actual graduation. Congratulations Marlise!
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 …
Just a quick check in from Seattle to share a funny picture. I got to do my water therapy today. My parents belong to a YMCA in our neighborhood and so they got me a guest pass for the week I'll be here. I brought my equipment to do my land PT and I have …
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 …
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 …
This week has been amazing in recovery terms. I did my first beach cruiser ride on Monday, Tuesday I had the hardest land therapy session yet, Wednesday was my last water therapy and today I had another hard land PT session. It was the first time I've been able to tolerate this much land activity …
Today was my last day of water therapy! I remember my first session I met a guy that had just finished his last session. I told him he was so lucky and he agreed and we shared a good laugh! Now I'm that person!!!!! I'm so excited to have these past (almost) four months under …
