The Time Warp

Posted on August 29, 2010 by solveighanson

Eight weeks ago tonight, I had just arrived in my hospital room, was still refusing pain meds (ha! for a couple more hours until reality kicked in!), and couldn’t quite believe what had happened. I’d been in the midst of … Continue reading →

Posted on August 24, 2010 by solveighanson

Sleeping Like It’s My Job

Posted on August 19, 2010 by solveighanson

As I’ve written about this week, the transition to crutches has been exhausting, far more so than I’d expected. I’ve been sleeping like a champ, more than I can ever remember. I posted on Facebook that I haven’t had so … Continue reading →

I’m A Swimmin Wimmin

Posted on August 17, 2010 by solveighanson

On this episode of As The Pelvis Turns, things look up! Finally and thankfully, after another solid night of sleep, I woke up with some energy. I did my morning PT and actually did work until just after lunch. That’s … Continue reading →

Middle Ground

Posted on August 16, 2010 by solveighanson

I’m now 6 weeks out from my crash. Six weeks ago I could barely move, could barely raise my hospital bed enough to drink from a bendy straw, and was thankfully adrift on pain medicine. I could wiggle my toes, … Continue reading →

Baseball, Earrings, Frustration, and an Artichoke

Posted on August 15, 2010 by solveighanson

I started writing this post about an hour ago, which was the first point in the day that I had enough energy to put words in order. I had a great day yesterday, and I knew I’d be tired today. … Continue reading →
