I’m one week into my broken ankle recovery journey, and so far, things are quite alright. I’m not in a lot of pain, and I can manage my way around the house with a new set of crutches and a wheelchair (covered by insurance). There are a few questions that are on my mind:

• How does surgery feel?
• When I walk normally again for the first time, will my feeling of relief be as potent as I imagine it will be if I were to suddenly regain my ability to walk right now?
• When I have surgery on Thursday, how easily will it be for me to develop a dependence on opiates?

I keep finding bruises I didn’t know emerged after my bike accident

Boy, am I glad I got my early birthday gift just in time to break my ankle in three places!

God laughed as I made plans

Off to Kindred Kuts for a touch-up for the first time in… a year? Quite excited about the way my hair has been growing. It’s so much more vibrant and healthy since I developed a proper care routine.
