My grandparents came to visit today! Thanks for the lunch date, Grammy and Poppy. We both parked our cars in handicap spaces and Poppy felt left out because he didn't have a crutch or a walker lol. Lucky guy! It was such a special treat to see them today because I haven't been able to …

Auntie Love
One of my best friends had a baby a couple weeks ago and asked me to come up and help her. I'm so honored she asked for my help and I'm so happy I can finally drive up and see her. We've been joking for months that we're basically doing the same things but can't …
Paying It Forward
We laid pretty low this weekend. I ended up sleeping a lot, but I still feel ok after the car accident so I'll take it. Now that I'm driving, I made a point to go up to San Clemente to visit a friend that has just finished her treatments and surgery for breast cancer. She's …
Seattle Trip 1
Seattle was great! My hip survived and so did my body, but I am so exhausted. I've been sleeping ever since I got home just to recuperate a bit. I had to bow out of some activities and obviously drive most places because I knew I wouldn't make it walking, but all in all, it …
4 Months Post Op
Today marks 4 months post op for my hip and the 200th day of using my bone growth stimulator! It was a big week for me physically and I feel like I may have turned a corner this week. I met this lovely lady and fellow PAO Warrior at a San Diego "hippie" meet up …
Friends
Chris and I took the train up to Santa Barbara and then headed to Solvang for the half marathon tomorrow. I won't be running obviously haha! Heather and her husband, RJ, got a babysitter for their kids and came up to meet us. It was so fun having dinner and drinks with close friends! Each time …
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 …
Supporters
There's many different types of supporters and visitors (more on this later). In the most basic of terms there's people who can support you in person and from afar. I was lucky enough to have some family come for a couple days in the week to help support me in my recovery. They came to …
Hippies!
One of my fellow San Diego "hippies" was admitted to the hospital for a collapsed lung. So another "hippie" and I went to visit her and support her in her newest medical challenges. We have a one month difference in our recoveries and both use mobileg crutches, so needless to say people visiting the room were …
Cousin Time
So my caregiver got a break for a long weekend. I think it was much needed. He headed to the mountains and got some good ski days in. Nothing like going from the beach to the mountains! Anyway, I can't really fully take care of myself yet and I definitely can't take care of Lucy. …
