It’s still hard to believe that this is real and she is gone.

Feeling good so far. My surgery was last week. I graduated from a walker to a cane. My knee is pretty stiff but that’s normal after this surgery. The physical therapist says I’m doing great.

Thank you! I know it’s scary but knowing is better than not. I’ve been putting off surgery for a long time but I can’t anymore.

Wee bit nervous. Surgery is less than two weeks away. I’m getting the odds and ends together. But yeah, nervous.

I’m ok. I am counting down the days until surgery 60 more days to go. Can’t wait till I can finally straighten out my leg. Can’t wait till I’m not in pain.

So my appointment last week with the PA at the orthopedic surgeon office was kinda pointless. At it really accomplished is me expressing how much pain I am in. Thankfully I kept my appointment with the surgeon next week so I can discuss surgery with him. Fingers crossed for surgery in October

Absolutely jazzed. Anyway, I called and got an earlier appointment with my orthopedic surgeon and I’m going to see if I can schedule surgery. It’s getting to the point where I’m in constant pain and have to ice daily. Just can’t take it anymore. And as much as the prospect of surgery scares me, I know I need it.

Thank you!!!

Some friends I parted ways with. Sometimes I miss them. Sometimes it makes me sad that they moved on without me so easily.

There are days when I wish I had listened to my orthopedic surgeon and today is one of those days. So sore

No worries! It was nice to meet you both too! I have so many crazy stories to share.

It really feels that way sometimes.

Oh yeah, I know Lisa and Andrea. I haven’t seen Andrea in the longest time.

Sometimes I am amazed at how much I have emotionally matured over the past four years. Don’t get me wrong, I still have my moments when I’m petty and there are times when I want to be petty, but I don’t because I realize some people love that attention. But I think I’ve reached the point in my life where I truly just do not give a fuck about certain things anymore, and I definitely handle things differently.

A song to cry to.

Thank you! She did.

It’s been a rough couple of days. I found out my aunt has long cancer that is very aggressive and has already spread to her liver and heart. She doesn’t have much time left. Chemo will be palliative at this point. It just makes me start thinking about my own mortality.

Next time I’m able to get out to Small’s, I’ll see if you are going. I have tons of stories from my trauma days.
