Check it out!! Today I had my two weeks post-op visit with Dr. Mei-Dan and finally got to see an X-ray. Read on to learn more about what you see…
Post-op day 11, things are moving along beautifully for me! Almost unbelievably so, except I fully expected this recovery to be night and day different than the last done – so maybe it is BELIEVABLY so. The only thing I really notice right now is mulch.
What?
I accidentally wore my WHOOP in surgery. I mean, I wanted to wear it but didn’t ask because surely the answer would be no. So, I just left it on and figured they’d take it off. They didn’t. And now I have wild data…
Almost a week post-op, how am I doing? What’s my progress? Can I tell the difference between pre- and post-? How’s the fwelling? What’s the scoop on post-op day 6?
Good afternoon! Post-op Day Two, I’m taking things VERY slowly today. The swelling and height of discomfort settled in yesterday late afternoon, so out of necessity I canceled everything today and have been moving at a glacial pace. Take a look…

A few random messages and experiences from the last several days are coalescing to form this blog post. It is part letting go of perfectionism and part giving grace to myself for what is outside my control, so long as I am doing my best. I have high standards for myself in every regard, but I am certainly not a perfectionist.

For the things that do matter most, I am always aiming for doing my best – whether it is my ultimate best or my best in a given moment.
