I’ve been back from New Zealand for a week now, but then I jetted off to exotic Iowa for a few days. That said, I have to apologize for the lack of blog activity. For the record, New Zealand is an amazing and inspiring place. (It was well worth pushing myself through extra PT for.) [...]

My First ACL Post-Op Vacation
Posted in ACL Surgery Recovery, tagged ACL encouragement, ACL Post-op, New Zealand, Traveling after ACL surgery on September 3, 2009 | 6 Comments »
In a few hours, I will finally be going on my New Zealand trip. What this really means is my declaration to getting back to living a normal life. Knee surgery takes it out of you. Confides you. Isolates you. Frustrates you. Confuses you. Puts weight on you. And changes you. While your knee may [...]

My solution is simple: “Make no little plans…” Daniel Burnham, Chicago architect. (1864-1912) 1. Think about your passions/hobbies pre-ACL surgery. 2.

Lucky for me, my boyfriend’s cousin’s sister-in-law [...]

This past weekend I was in San Francisco. I’m actually moving there for work next weekend. When the work opportunity first presented itself, I was about one month post-op and still in a knee brace. I went to visit and couldn’t walk around because the hills in that city are just so impossible. Well, after [...]
My 1st Post-Op Trip
