2024 I started the year with a Gastric Sleeve, hit the 3/4 of the year with a hip replacement and ended the year with a run on cold (each time I think I’m just getting over a cold it feels like I catch a new cold.. three times. Hopefully I’m done with that). Everything but the cold was totally worth…
Fearghus: So.. what would you like for Christmas?Me: A large private island.. with electricity. Y’all, dreams do come true! It just keeps getting better and better. We finally put the dinning room nook to use as a coffee bar. Temporary top until we can get a permanent one set. And a granite slab so I can have something for rolling…

Last week I had a follow up with my orthopedic surgeon about my hip. I’m doing A-ok with the hip and have been instructed to continue with PT. I…
Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. I’m 7 months and two week post Bariatric Sleeve surgery and 3 week post hip replacement surgery. Next Tuesday I have my post-op with the Orthopedic Surgeon’s office to get my (30!) staples removed. Hopefully I’ll get cleared of some of my precautions…
Staples are removed. I’m released into the wild (additional follow-up in 1 month and I’m receiving a referral for out-patient PT). Doctor was impressed that I was using a cane instead of a walker and says my recovery is going well. The incision looks great (even better without 30 staples on it) and I’m supposed to ice the swelling that’s…
Them: so.. *head tilt* how are you doing? LOL. Anyway. I’ll save y’all from having to ask. I’m 7 months and one week post Bariatric Sleeve surgery and 2 week post hip replacement surgery. Not much changed this week. My hip pain lingers at maybe a 1 but most of that pain is tendon soreness and itching on the incision.…
