I’m back to walking at 100%, but it feels a bit strange and isn’t perfect yet. Every step is progress, and I’m determined to keep improving!

Returning to NYC for our studio rental by the hospital. Flying back with my mom and friend Rachel, who took turns pushing me around in my wheelchair. Grateful for their support and companionship during this time.

Feeling a bit yucky post-surgery, but staying optimistic. After two weeks in NYC, I received the clearance to head home and continue my rehab there. Looking forward to focusing on recovery and getting back on track.

Had a wonderful sushi dinner with my mom in NYC before my surgery. It was a great way to spend some quality time and enjoy a delicious meal together before the big day.

This is actually the first time I’m truly at 75% weight-bearing. I finally get to lose a crutch and walk more freely. It’s a big step forward in my recovery!

Nothing lifts my spirits after a tough PT session like trying on lipsticks with my sisters. Their company and laughter make everything better!
