It’s been 2 months since I’ve needed them, but my crutches still stand by the full-length mirror in my bedroom. My daughter pointed them out to me the other day and asked why they were still there. I didn’t have a very good answer for that one. It wasn’t until later that I discovered there […]
Stripped Away
Raw. Naked. Vulnerable. This is how I feel. Stretched to the max. Out of my comfort zone. At the breaking point. This is where I am. Crying. Laughing. Straining. This is what I do. In the past, I’ve written posts that draw the parallels between the lives of humans and rose bushes; I strongly believe that […]
We All Need Therapy

The Perfect Surgery
My surgeon and I have 2 very different definitions of the word perfect. To me, the perfect hardware removal surgery would mean…I don’t know…that all the hardware would be removed. But maybe that’s just the crazy talking. Maybe I’ve had a few too many pain pills. Because my orthopedist tells me, “The surgery went perfectly, […]
Number Six
It’s funny. When I was creating this website, I copied over some of my more popular posts from a previous blog. One of them was about my lack of patience and it was written last summer. I won’t get into the details, but I will use this opportunity to update you on life and hopefully […]
