Tomorrow is the day! I'm wayyyyy over due for updates on what's been happening in my life and in my recovery from my RPAO. However, I'll have so much more time on my hands to write longer posts after this next surgery. I plan to catch you all up with what's been happening over the …
I swore to myself I wouldn't do this. I wouldn't be like many of the other blogs about PAO's. I wouldn't abandon my readers when I started to feel better. I saw a pattern in those blogs I found. They all seemed to stop after a few months of recovery. My boyfriend took that to …
This year can't be over soon enough! 2017 is just a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year. I saw my neck surgeon on Tuesday and the appointment wasn't very good. It's my third not great appointment in a row and I just need to keep processing the news I hear. The harder thing is …
7.7.17 OMG OMG OMG! I took my first workout class in over a year! I went to a barre class. This is such a huge milestone for me. I survived and am no worse for the wear with my hip or neck. I was so nervous before class that I had a stomach ache. I …

June was hip dysplasia month, however I think we'd all agree that every month deserves happy hips! This link goes to a great poem about living with hip dysplasia or actually dreaming about what it would be like to not have hip dysplasia. It hits so close to home and you can feel the emotions …
June is Hip Dysplasia Awareness Month! A month that'll be forever near and dear to my heart. Dysplasia affects more people than you'd ever know. I had know idea, but there is a big community of affected children AND adults. I've attached several photos of more information on this cause. It'll describe more about dysplasia, …
I was napping on the beach this week and when I woke up one seagull was uncomfortably close to me. He was all by himself and I can assure you, I had no food on me. I went about my business and over the next hour or so he kept reappearing. I moved to my …
Big day today! I drove myself to the beach, carried a small chair and towel, walked onto the beach/sand and relaxed for a couple of hours. I even took a nap lying on the sand, which means I got down to the ground and up by myself! I also could move the sand around to …
