Well, it wasn't so much of a habit as a necessity. I have been on some amount of pain medication since the moment I was stabilized in the ambulance almost one month ago tomorrow (so crazy to think it's been a month). I have been slowly cutting back on my doses and yesterday I actually …

A Restful Evening for the Resting
This is what happens when you wake up early and you are trapped at home with a broken hip and miss your little sister... You send her pictures of your funny faces 😉 Even though I wasn't in an office all week, these past 5 days still felt like the longest week ever. When Friday …
Time to Sweat
Over the past few weeks on crutches I have worked my way up from shuffling to the bathroom to hopping up and down 3 flights of stairs. For the past week or so we have made an effort to take one outing a day so I can feel human and so I can get some …
To the beach!
Yesterday was a much better day than the previous one. I felt rejuvenated after crying and I was ready to take on the day after a good sleep. I made breakfast all by myself in the morning - I cooked eggs and topped them with goodies AND somehow made it to the couch with my …
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 …
don’t mind if I do
I feel stronger and stronger on my crutches (or Mary Kate and Ashley as I like to call them) every day. It took a little while to figure it all out, but since I heard yesterday from the doctor that I still have at least 3 more weeks on these babies, we have become fast …
Feeling Normal
It has been just over two weeks since my hip accident and this weekend I finally felt like a "normal" human being again. I have been spending a majority of my days on my couch trying to find a comfortable position and using my computer to connect to the outside world. Each day I am getting …
Fitting In
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 …
Working Girl
I may be stuck at home, chained to my couch and slave to my aches and pains, but that does not mean that I am not working hard on my recovery or on my career. I have an arrangement with my boss to work on some projects from home that don't necessarily need to be …
First Outing
Yesterday was a BIG day. I fueled properly with some eggs, facon and chives...mmmm. After breakfast, I finally reached the bottom of the stairs to my apartment complex and instead of hopping right back up to my apartment I made a left and headed to the car. The last time I was in the car …
