First thing, yes, I am back up and stumbling, however, I may not be posting every day like I was before my fall. Yesterday, I had a great day, but by the time I got home, I was exhausted. I usually write my blog in the evening, especially when I have a busy morning ahead.

It has been almost 5 months since I have blogged, a lot has happened and not much has happened. I have been on a long journey of recovery. I spent 3 months not able to bare weight on my left leg. Then another 6 weeks in Physical Therapy getting ready to go back to work.

As I write this, I will be getting to the hospital in about 2 hours for my surgery to repair the fracture to my left leg. The fracture is a nasty one of the tibia which is the larger of the two bones in your lower leg, and I crushed mine right at the knee.

Tomorrow is my big day, my left knee is being repaired. Amazingly, I’m not extremely fearful. Why, do you ask? I have one of the best surgeons in the field, I am in extremely good shape for a woman my age, I understand the process and I know how to prepare. As I was thinking
