This weekend came and went just like any other day does. Although, it did bring some more family and friends and lots of time to write these posts!! Saturday was a rough day for me after my falls. So I rested and iced and played with Lucy. Who wore it better?!?! My room has …

Just one of those days
Today is just one of those days. Everything isn't bad, but I sure can't say it's particularly good either. I woke up before any alarms were going off and before I usually have been waking up since I've had the surgery. And boy was I grumpy! I don't remember having a bad dream, but I …
A Day in the Life of Photos
A sweet surprise left from my sweet. That's a good look at my "set-up" in bed.
Hippie Meet Up
Tonight I got to meet up with other "hippies" (people who've had hip surgery). These particular hippies were ones that have had the PAO and the scope and have been seeing the same surgeons that I have. As we drove up to the brewery, Chris joked that all the disabled spots are probably taken because …
Bumps in the road called recovery
Recovery is rough. There are ups and downs. I'm trying to remember that good things come from hardships. It's so incredibly frustrating being at the mercy of everyone else. So many mantras right now! *I'm learning to let things go. *Taking victory in small achievements. I came across this quote today and it is …
Malas
My mom booked her flight home. She'll have been here for almost three weeks. I'm pretty scared for her to go, but I know I will be ok. We ran some errands so I don't have to use an Uber when she's gone. I've been wanting to make a mala bracelet so we went to …
First Post-op Visit

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 …
Life in bed…
I haven’t left the house yet. I really don’t feel up for it. I am sleeping a lot still which is actually amazing. I have a lot of sleep to catch up on because after neck surgery and before this surgery, I really struggled to sleep well or at all sometimes. I’m usually a morning …
Coming home…
Coming home wasn’t so bad when it was filled with fresh flowers from friends and family, cards and packages coming in the mail and visitors dropping by to bring food and care packages or come for a visit. Not too shabby! Thank you to everyone who has called, texted or visited. It seriously means so …
