While I don't live on the east coast where humidity and high temperatures plague the air, it is still Summer in the Bay Area and when it's Summer people tend to gather around good food with good friends. And that is exactly what we did! We popped the bubbly with some refreshing blueberries and Dave …

No Pain No Gain
Since Monday's PT session I have done my glute, quad and hamstring exercises several times. And while some moves can be quite uncomfortable, already a handful are much more manageable and it's easier to move my legs in certain directions. All of this extra exercising made me quite hungry at work yesterday and without a …
WIAW: Forget CrossFit…Crutch-It
I know that CrossFit is the big craze right now, and I while I have not had a chance to test my strength with a WOD, I have been working my muscles with a similar intensity - using my CRUTCHES! Hopping around on one leg and using my arms for support to do anything and …
Kicking the habit
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 …
WIAW – back at work
My cat, like all cats, does not like to sleep at night, but boy does she love to snuggle and snooze in the morning. We normally put her in the bathroom at night so she is calm in a small space, but Monday night we couldn't catch her and she kept us awake most of …
First Day
Remember when I used to leave the house at 7am and get home around 6:30pm and did a whole bunch of stuff in the middle? Well yesterday I went back to doing that stuff in the middle - I went to WORK!! I did not go for a full day but I went in around …
Check Up
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 …
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 …
