Merry Christmas LH readers! I hope you had a happy, safe and family filled holiday. Much love to you all!
Today was my first day in a long time that I didn't have any appointments. I decided to stay in my pajamas all day, listen to Christmas music, finish wrapping some presents and bake a gingerbread cake! It was exactly what the doctor ordered! I wish you all a Merry Christmas and I hope you …
On top of the hard land therapy session on Monday, I also had water therapy on Tuesday and Thursday this week. We advanced in both sessions too! I'm now max'd out in my water therapy exercises and am increasing the number of reps from 10 to 15 and when it is a timed exercise, I …
Today I had land PT and we advanced quite a bit with my exercises. He started with the typical soft tissue massage which hurts so bad. They basically massage my nerve and it just fires it up the whole time. I think he is trying to loosen my hip flexors, but my surgeon said that …
It's hard to believe that last time in recovery I was still bedridden at this point and this weekend I was alone and did everything myself! Pretty cool! It's exhausting, but it's all totally doable. I can cook, I can take care of Lucy with the exception of walking her and I can dress, feed …

The one good thing about cancelling Hawaii was getting to spend an extra week with my mama. The day we cancelled the trip, her and I took a trip to the zoo. When you're in a wheelchair, the person who is pushing the wheelchair gets in for free. So great! Chris is a member so …
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Due to not being in Hawaii, I spent the day with family in OC. It was a long day and it exhausted me with some pain from being out and active all day. However, I was thankful to spend the time getting to hang with my mom for a bit longer. She …
