So after a birthday party yesterday, we went to an Angel's baseball game. I have had to miss a Padre's game in San Diego with friends because I knew I wouldn't be able to sit for that long and in those kind of seats. This time I almost backed out, but I'm so glad I …

3 Months Post Op
In preparation of my doctor's appointment, I ate a yummy homemade breakfast. My mom and I have perfected a healthy morning muffin. I made a new batch yesterday and I think these are the best yet! They're made with zucchini, carrots, coconut, chia seeds, coconut oil, greek yogurt and dates instead of sugar. I'm drinking …
Cane
So my cane came in the mail today! I figured I should balance it out a little, so when I ordered it, I also ordered a couple new bathing suits. Just trying to keep some sort of youth over here! It is really weird to walk with the cane. I'm so used to the crutches …
PAO Warrior
Today my PAO warrior tank came in the mail! I have been waiting for this to arrive and I can't wait to start wearing it to physical therapy. It captures my recovery perfectly. "You can break my bones, but not my spirit." I refuse to let all these recoveries break me and I am determined …
10/11 Week Post Op Update
Lots of changes have been noticed lately. Here's my update: The discoloration in my right leg is back to normal, which means my circulation has improved. My right foot is staying warmer now too. I've noticed my right hip sticks out further than my left. I'm hoping over more time this will decrease and not …
Friendship
I have really struggled with living life solely from my house and having to be a friend from afar. It's not who I am and it's so hard to only be able to support my friends with distance. I've missed out on a lot of activities, hang outs, celebrations, etc. When my friend's mother baby …
Date Day
Chris surprised me with a day planned at the spa. I was so happy to be spending the day with him and at a spa none the less! We arrived early and hung out together having tea and snacks in the relaxation room, then I had a 30 minute massage that was heavenly and Chris utilized …
PAO: Persevere and Overcome
The PAO facebook group I'm apart of has a husband and wife couple who send out PAO bracelets to PAO warriors. I just received a couple in the mail for Chris and I to start wearing. I'm totally obsessed with it! I've been feeling better since my headache stopped on Wednesday and I had a …
Walking Skills
Practicing my walking skills at sunset! I posted a video of my new walking skills and had "Walking on Sunshine" playing in the background. I most definitely was 'Walking On Sunshine.' Each week I'm seeing so much progress. I've stopped looking at the day to day and am focusing on larger chunks of time. I'm …
Exhaustion
I have been SO incredibly tired. I got in bed after our guests left on Sunday and have been there ever since. I could barely stay awake during water therapy yesterday and slept the rest of the afternoon. Today, I had PT for my neck. Thank goodness! I think my therapist could see that I …
