After a great visit, it's finally time to go home. While it feels like we've been gone forever, I am thrilled that I made the choice to travel here. The midwest kindness and friendliness has been more than I could have hoped for. Of course, our trip through the airport was completely eventful. It was the stuff… Continue reading The Plane Truth

Heading North
After Joanna removed my staples this morning, I was free to go. I didn't have a great view of the incision but what I could see looked like an earthworm with all of the staples. I'd read/heard that the staples removal was painful/uncomfortable but once again, it turned out to be anticlimactic. In fact, I… Continue reading Heading North
Step and Fetch
This is a much deserved post to praise The Husband, Step and Fetch. He has been absolutely incredible in catering to my every whim and meeting my every need. I can't say I could have done as well. He hasn't rolled his eyes, not even once. Every woman should be this lucky.
Every Step I Take
Last day at HipHab. Hard to believe it has gone so quickly. Didn't feel so great this morning, they warned us there would be roller coaster days and that it is perfectly normal. Not sure why I felt crummy but it was kind of disappointing since I'd felt so terrific the day before. After morning… Continue reading Every Step I Take
Baby Steps
Every little thing is such a production. From standing up to going to the bathroom, it seems to take forever and I am not one to take my time doing anything. So this is forcing me to slow down which I guess can be a good thing. Maybe it's a lesson I can… Continue reading Baby Steps
Moving On
After the hospital PT session, I was sprung! It will be nice to get back to the apartment at the rehab center where I can have a little space and privacy (and be out of a stupid hospital bed!). I guess they deem the car transfer and getting to your room enough of a workout… Continue reading Moving On
Bionic Woman
After all the hoopla, travel and what seemed like waiting longer than a full-term pregnancy, surgery is over. I am officially a Bionic Woman. I was scheduled first up at 7:30 on Valentine's Day, what a way to get that little sparkly something. We'd scheduled a cab for 5:20, since the forecast was for snow… Continue reading Bionic Woman
Bionic Woman Walking
They really don't mess around after surgery. The first PT session was held in the bed, apparently after my stellar performance with the pass-out/vomit combo. They had me sit for quite awhile on the edge of the bed and finally did get me up on the crutches to walk out into the hall and back.… Continue reading Bionic Woman Walking
