Lucy has been joining me at physical therapy and today I brought her to massage therapy too. I was a very proud fur mama because she was so well behaved at both. The PT's love seeing her while I do my exercises. She perks up and stares at me when I'm close to where she …

PAO PT Protocol
I found my copy of the PT protocol and thought it would be helpful to post here. These are the guidelines set up by my specific surgeon. I know other surgeons have different guidelines, so contact your surgeon and PT for details for your own recovery. If you don't have guidelines, then maybe this can …
Lucy’s 7th Birthday
Lucy turned 7 today! She had a special breakfast with a fried egg on top and a candle (crazy dog mom over here!). She also came to a playdate with two of my friends and their two year old cuties. She got a bone marrow bone treat at night and a present to unwrap. She …
My First Official Walk
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 …
Joshua Tree Getaway
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 …
Graduated Water Therapy Today
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 …
Ditching the Crutches
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 knew it could possibly be unmeetable, but I wanted to have something to work towards. A couple weeks before the new year, …
New Year’s in Mexico
I am enjoying the change of years in Mexico at our friends' house. It has been quiet and mellow. Totally fine by me! I enjoyed the beach and as you can see in the pics, it's a long walk down and up. I went to the beach once for the first two days, but then …
Reflecting on 2017
With 2017 coming to an end (FINALLY), I have been reflecting a lot on life, the things that are most important and the ways in which I want to spend 2018. I have also been thinking about the growth, pain and challenges of this past year (or two). These quotes, I found, are resonating with …
Holiday Exhaustion
So...holidays are normally quite tiring for everyone, but I didn't even think about it until today...I'm not 100% yet and therefore with recovery and the holiday fesitivites, I am so exhausted. I took my crutches with me, but never took them out of the car except for the one beach walk (up and down a …
