Holy crap, i am so not ready for the cold weather. My joints aren't particularly fond of the cold anyway, but with this recent surgery, it's just another level of "oh crap." My hip is feeling better today after a week or so of not-so-happy after a rather unfortunate incident involving a runaway car full of puppies.
Still, no caber picking for awhile...still unable to like, say, put on my shoes without squawking in pain. It seems like a simple surgery like this should have a much quicker recovery...my friend who had a hip replacement a month before me has been doing full squats with weights for weeks now...I'm still on partial squats with a 1/3 of my body weight as per my PT and as per the sharp, sphincter spasming pain!
So, I'm trying to patient, I'm trying not to get frustrated...but, like Luke in Yoda's swamp; I'm not so much on the "doing" part as the "trying" part.
Navigating the pothole riddled gravel road of my psyche and mental health (with occasional crashes into the ditch). Spoiler Alert: growing up in rural America isn't anything like the wholesome goodness of Little House on the Prairie.
Are you sure you're in the right place?
Try not. Do or Do not; there is no try.

About Me
- Cowgirl71
- I'm a middle aged, irritable AF, puppy-mommy, and wife to my wife. I grew up in rural ND on a cattle ranch with a family who put the "Dys" in Dysfunction. Now I live in the big city, and am trying to get through this thing called life while not so gracefully navigating PTSD and and Post Concussion Syndrome.
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the gentle voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow."
