Happy One Month to me!!! I'm 4 weeks post-op from my PAO and arthroscopy today. Sometimes I can't believe that that amount of time has gone by and other times I know I've felt every single minute go by. I am still pretty bed bound, but I do try to do an outing here and …
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 …
This weekend came and went just like any other day does. Although, it did bring some more family and friends and lots of time to write these posts!! Saturday was a rough day for me after my falls. So I rested and iced and played with Lucy. Who wore it better?!?! My room has …

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 …
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 …
