In less than a week I go back to my Orthopedic doc, my awesome pink cast comes off, and if everything has gone right, I will be back in the boot, and walking. I'm scared to say that out loud. Really scared. Every 4 weeks since April, I've gone into clinic and every time I've …
Almost 2 weeks ago I got my ridiculously pink cast put on, and while I've learned nothing in this recovery is a given, I'm in the home stretch of being non-weight bearing. I've been impressed, actually, by how I've handled this piece of my journey. Other than it making life just a bit more difficult, …

This has been a month of weird setbacks, disappointment, and getting my head out of my a$$. For those who follow me on social media, you may know that I had a pretty bad fall a few weeks ago that, it turns out, broke some of the new bone growth in my foot. After definitely …

Within 2 minutes of my mom answering my phone call on Mother's Day she started to apologize to me for not checking in on me by phone more while I've been sidelined from life with a broken foot. Immediately reminded her I can just as easily pick up the phone, which I hadn't done a …
I'm not doing great with checking in on my monthly goals lately. Here's to trying again, because it's not about being perfect, it's about progressing.

It's been 23 days since breaking my foot. It feels like a lifetime. Doing anything, everything, takes more time and energy. I'm beyond frustrated. After falling and catching myself with my broken foot for the third weekend in a row, I couldn't sleep last night. I read "The Girl on the Train" in its entirety …
