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!
Today was my first day in a long time that I didn't have any appointments. I decided to stay in my pajamas all day, listen to Christmas music, finish wrapping some presents and bake a gingerbread cake! It was exactly what the doctor ordered! I wish you all a Merry Christmas and I hope you …
On top of the hard land therapy session on Monday, I also had water therapy on Tuesday and Thursday this week. We advanced in both sessions too! I'm now max'd out in my water therapy exercises and am increasing the number of reps from 10 to 15 and when it is a timed exercise, I …
Today I had land PT and we advanced quite a bit with my exercises. He started with the typical soft tissue massage which hurts so bad. They basically massage my nerve and it just fires it up the whole time. I think he is trying to loosen my hip flexors, but my surgeon said that …

I saw Dr. Santore today for my six week post op appointment, although it was technically on my seventh week post op. I got a great report and he said my x-rays were beautiful! I walked into the office with one crutch to show off the skills I didn't have last time around. He was …
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 …
I went to PT today and biked for the first time on the stationary bike! The bigger news is I can officially go to one crutch! ONE! Well I can start doing it around the house, but still use two crutches when I go out. Yay! Such huge news! I'm so excited for this milestone. …
