Grateful. Just a little word filled with big meaning. This year I am grateful for my health. Thanksgiving two years ago, I was in a neck brace. Last year, I was on crutches. This year, my body is fully functioning on its own! I’m also so grateful for the people who’ve stuck by my side …
Well this is a little overdue, but better late than never! I graduated PT on October 19th. Now the real ironic back story here is that I actually had my last appointment scheduled for October 16th. That happened to be my one year hipaversary from my LPAO. That appointment was scheduled a couple months in …
Today is my one year hipaversary!!! I celebrated with an early morning spin class. I have come so far in one year with this body. Last year at this time, I was in the OR for 12 hours and went through four surgeries with two different surgeons. I received six incisions total from that day. …

Costco use to be a place I would go for a big outing in my day. It was a place I could get an electric scooter and just cruise up and down every aisle. Plus, samples! Can't go wrong there. It was seriously a place I loved to go as a "field trip." I have …
Two close guy friends came into town for the long weekend. We had a ton of fun, but it was an odd weekend. Let me explain. So Sam came in town Thursday to Sunday and Truc overlapped Saturday to Tuesday. Sam and I cruised down to Baja for a day trip on Friday. We ate …
