Today is my one year hipaversary!!! I celebrated with an early morning spin class. I have come so far in one year with this body. Last year at this time, I was in the OR for 12 hours and went through four surgeries with two different surgeons. I received six incisions total from that day. …
I'm one year post-op from my RPAO and arthroscopy! And what a year it's been! It's such a big milestone and I've looked forward to being at this stage for some time now. I can confidently say my hip is feeling awesome! It is still weak, but I'm PT'ing it right along side with the …
Happy Friday all! I have a good friend who is in town from LA to keep me company and to help me out for a couple days. Lots of hanging out in bed, laughter, Lucy snuggles, eating take out, tv watching, working, researching home improvement jobs, wedding dress shopping and house hunting. Thanks Jen! So much …
Happy 1st day of March! A new month means I'm one more month closer to recovery. What a fun day! It's my second day in a row feeling good and thank goodness because I have a couple amazing visitors today. One of my most favorite high school buddies is in town and brought me an …
It's a new week and I'm finally feeling better physically and less low mentally. Other than my awesome visitors, I had a rough weekend of three total falls, steri strip incident (as you know) and then a couple of high pain days to follow. Yesterday was a rainy rainy day in San Diego. Being from Seattle, I …
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 …
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 …
Happy Valentine's Day! I had two dates with two of my surgeons. The morning date was with my neck surgeon and he gifted me with a prescription. The afternoon date was with Dr. Santore, my hip surgeon, and he also gifted me with a prescription. Lucky girl! Two dates and two presents! I told my …
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 …
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 …
