They Fit! My stretchy jeans that is. Fixing my broken hip came with a foot long incision on my left bum-cheek, a metal plate to hold my bones together and a very very very swollen left hip. Yesterday was the first day that I could squeeze into my pants without discomfort. It was nice for …

Independence
I am incredibly lucky to have a man in my life who loves all things medicine and has the ability to stay home with me right now and take care of me. As many of you know, crutches  keep both hands pretty busy when you move around and as hard as you try to think …
The kindness of strangers
On my way home from the gym Thursday evening I walked by a woman clearly waiting for her friends or family in front of a restaurant. She looked like she had been waiting for a while and did not have a smile on her face. Even though she looked disgruntled she was wearing fantastic shoes …
WIAW – I can see
I wanted to make a nice pancake for breakfast on Tuesday but this is what I ended up with (1/2 cup egg whites, scoop of protein powder, 1/2 banana blended) It still tasted delicious 🙂 My snacks were cottage cheese and some dried edamame.

(Yes, this is probably something I just made up, but it makes sense to me: people cycle through different foods, eating too much food, eating too little, eating more of one type of food …
WIAW – Darn those cookies
I started the day off with some California avocados and filling cottage cheese on rice cakesThe day progressed with the traditional snacks of steamed carrots and a to go cup of cottage cheese. Dave made delicious chicken for dinner the night before so I made a salad with the leftovers (this picture does not do …
Rasberry Jam Kind Of Day

Breakfast was cottage cheese and some rice cakes with RASPBERRY JAM I made it to lunch with only a few nibbles on leftover cookies that were hanging around the office. The …
