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 …

One Crutch
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. …

Out of Commission
Well yesterday was about the worst day I have had since the hospital. I went to bed on Saturday night and my headache was coming on fast. It was so bad that I couldn't sleep. We were staying on a mattress on the floor so I needed Chris' help to get up from it and …
Family Weekend and LA Outing
So this weekend, Chris' family came to visit on Saturday morning. They were all sick or getting over a sickness so I sadly had to keep my distance as much as possible. It is just not worth getting sick while in recovery. I actually can't even imagine what it would be like, but I know …
My First Water Therapy Appt
I am so excited to start water therapy again! I just loved it last time and I love how much more I can do and can move in water than I can on land. Having my mom here for some of these first appointments was so helpful because not being able to break 90 degrees …
