My friend, Kristina, came to visit today. We had a delicious Dutch baby pancake and grapefruit and coffees from my coffee bar. Yum! I haven't gone for a walk from the house and without crutches yet, so we decided to give it a try. We walked down to the beach and watched the surfers from …
This weekend we went to J Tree for some friends' birthday celebrations. I have never been and was stoked to hear they got an air bnb and invited us out there. If we were camping, I wouldn't be able to go, so this was perfect! It was a good and chill weekend. The rental was …
I graduated water therapy today! I have been dreaming about this day for ten months. The first day I went to water therapy I met a guy that was on his last day of water therapy after his second hip surgery. He had the same surgeries I did and with my same surgeon. He was …
Walking into 2018 on my own two feet! All walking devices have been left in 2017. Peace out crutches! No walking devices in 2018! I set this goal for myself before my surgery.

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 …
