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 sweet surprise left from my sweet. That's a good look at my "set-up" in bed.
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 …
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 …
I got x-rays taken for my pre-op appointment, tomorrow, all I can say is "Ouch!" The amount of movement they wanted for each of the positions was very difficult for me to do. I also can't stand straight up because it feels like I can't keep my right leg straight and underneath me. I arch …
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 …
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 …
