Six Months Post-Op ✨

Once I was cleared to start walking again, my goal became to see my friends more, say yes to everyday things, and to enjoy the outdoors, and I think I’ve done pretty well at that! From celebrating friends’ birthdays and other achievements, Knicks in Five, and multiple beach days, to concerts and shows, new hair, hiking two miles with relative ease, and lots in between, this Spring and start to Summer has been the breath of fresh air I needed.

With all that though, recovery hasn’t suddenly become easy. The past few days/weeks have been stagnate and frustrating (for weeks now, I’ve been 2-0.5 inches away from getting my butt to my heels ughhh), and that mindset has pulled me down sometimes. But I know progress isn’t linear, so on the hard days I just need to remember to breathe, rely on loved ones, and take it day by day.

So here’s to celebrating the day to day, starting dance PT soon (fingers crossed) and to getting back to a full color, full out life again! 🌈
