As new kitty parents we did the responsible thing yesterday and got her a full check up. She was not super fond of leaving her new home, but she did great at the vet and everyone loved her! She is a healthy kitty with a bit of a tire around her middle that we need …
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 …

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 …
Never did I ever…
By age 25 there are certain aspects of life that one can expect to encounter, such as, possibly living with a significant other, hopefully holding a steady job and learning how to feed oneself with the use of the kitchen. And of course there are many things that one cannot be ready for - elements of life …
Cleaning for Treats
When you come from a hospital stay after surgery you tend to forget about the pile of clean clothes you need to put away and the mountain of magazines that are piling up on your coffee table. You tend to focus on the patient's healing and leave general cleanliness for your imaginary housekeeper. Well yesterday, …
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 …
