Morning,
Well, I’m a happy little earlobe, let me tell you! Yesterday I visited my surgeon (’twas 9 days after I was sliced and diced), and had my big huge honking bandage removed. My gosh, the man should be a master tailor - the incision healed beautifully and I was cleared for physical […]

Well!
Yesterday saw me having a dandy time trying out my new chinup bar (which I’ll be using for my P90x workouts that will most likely start in Jan 2008).
I probably did at the most, oh, hmmmm, 12….spaced over 3 hours. That’s all, only 12!
And this morning, I can’t even do 1/2. […]

Morning!
Yes, I have proven it to myself - I am capable of returning to karate and actually NOT doing any of it but simply sitting it out, observing my kids, and enjoying it greatly. My gosh, I didn’t realize quite how much I have missed participating in it these past 8 days!
I watched […]

Morning,
It’s getting close to that time of year again - New Year’s Resolutions!
I’m very pleased that my New Year Resolutions of last year (get healthy) have happened most swimmingly. My goal back then was 135 pounds - I’m now bouncing between 131 and 133.
This year, I have the following New Year’s Resolutions.

Kids Academics. […]

Morning,
Well! Today is Day 8 after my surgery, and yesterday I found out something sooo startling to me, it really just got me sitting and thinking and realizing some important truths about my own abilities.
Along with those lovely bone tumors on my femur, I also have a shortened fibula on my left leg. […]

I’ve been learning so much about myself during this past week of recovery that my head is spinning. Some of the knowledge includes:

No matter what got thrown at me, I could handle it
I’m in better health now than I was in my 20s - my standing heartrate is 65 or so
My recovery rate […]

Morning,
Today is Day 7 after my surgery! And my leg seems to be healing quite nicely indeed.
One of the exercises for which I had been given a go-ahead is isometrics (that of tensing and releasing your muscles). Thus, yesterday saw me, and my husband and my kids sitting at Pizza Hut for […]

Life is a hero’s journey, and I am constantly grateful to my guardian angel that I can meet any and all challenges with a brave soul and clear vision.
Let’s see….I was sliced and diced on Tuesday, hobbling about on crutches on Wednesday, walking with a cane on Thursday, walking without a cane yesterday, and […]

Morning,
Well! Today is Day 4 after my exostoses surgery, and I’m quite thrilled to announce I can walk without a cane. Not that I’m doing that all the time, mind you, however…my leg feels almost normal during walking again.
Talk about a quick recovery!!
I’m certainly not going to jinx this by walking all […]

Morning!
Well, yesterday saw me graduate to using a cane for my hobbling about. I’m pleased to say it appears that I’m healing relatively well, but of course, I’m making darned sure I don’t push it!!
Yesterday was spent being actually quiet (ha ha! Yes! It did happen! I was quiet!) and […]
