I know that I am not fully mobile on two feet yet, but hopefully next week is the week I get rid of the extra limbs I've had for 2 months. Despite still using my crutches I still try to go for as many walks as I can. Even at work, when it's easier to …

25 and a day
In these past two months I have encountered more difficult times than I could ever imagine, but yesterday I turned 25 and I could feel I am headed on a fresh positive path. To start off, my mom is in town, and it is rare that we get to celebrate a birthday together. So having …
Last Day of 24
Yesterday was my last day on this Earth as a 24 year old woman. It was a rather typical day, took a shower, went to work, answered emails, walked around the office, made some phone calls...oh wait...did you catch that....yup I WALKED AROUND MY OFFICE! I am still on crutches but my doctor gave me …

Routines
Yesterday was my first FULL day of work in a month. A MONTH! Wild. Up until this point I was doing half days, which was a great way to ease back into my normal routine of work. It's hard not to have a daily routine with a 9-5 job (or in my case before 8am …
Just doing what I do best – Running…
Yesterday was the San Francisco Marathon. This was my first half marathon last year and this year I signed up months ago to race in the second half. It was a hard run last year, but after I finished I was ready to sign up for another race, and so the addiction to running really …
WIAW on a rough day
I will admit it. Yesterday was a tough day in my recovery process. I have been so incredibly positive about the entire situation, but reality finally crept in and I collapsed under the pressure. There are so many things going on in my life at this moment in time and breaking a hip has not …
