Long Time, No Blog

Well, It has been awhile since the last post and so many things in my life has happened. I graduate in only a couple short weeks, 9 May 2010. I am excited to be officially done and move on to the next phase in my life. I plan on continuing my education with a Master's of Public Health starting next fall, but I still have a lot of decisions to make. I have moved to a new apartment within the same complex and I love it. It is a little smaller, but the layout is great and its on the first floor where I can have a grill and Chloe can play in her own grassy, little backyard. The major plus is that my ex, Andrew, has not been here and there are no memories of him in my new place. I even have noticed that Chloe is happier in the new environment.

I have also had some stress in relation to my hip healing from the scope. I fell at work a few weeks ago and fortunately did not break anything, but have more than likely broke up scar tissue, tore open the capsule and/or re-tore the labral cartilage. I was looking forward to running in a couple weeks, but yet again, it has been delayed farther. It also does not help that I have developed impingement from my RPAO surgery last summer that will need to be fixed. Dr. Maiers would like me to have a break for awhile and does not want to do the surgery because it will delay training time, but I am not allowed to train injured or not fully recovered per Army regulations. That means I am going to have to have my right hip scoped asap to fix the impingement and my left possibly may need to be scoped if I tore the labral cartilage again. If the pain does not get better in the next couple weeks then I will need an MRI to determine if I re-tore the labral cartilage in my left hip. Well, this isn't stressful at all! During my last visit with Maiers I broke down from stress and he is so amazing, gave me a big hug and gave me encouraging words. It makes me feel better to know that my doc genuinely cares and will do what he can to help.

On a happy note, my older brother, Michael, and his fiancée, Danelle, are getting married 28 July 2010. From dating, to engaged, to married in about 6 months! I am so happy for them. They are perfect for eachother and I am so glad they are both in a great place in their life. Michael will also be going active duty early this fall as an Army Chaplain and I know that he will be a great assest to the Armed Forces.

Chloe will be one year old next month and I can not believe that I have had her for this long and how much she has grown. She is not much of a pup, but such a pretty little girl. I found a pic from the breeder when she was just a baby fuzz!


I can not believe how big she has gotten and what a great companion she is to have around. I just can not wait to take her running, but unfortunately it will be longer than I want. I have to be able to heal though, but it is discouraging to keep having problems/issues/setbacks.

I am happy for my friend, Jessica, who is going to be able to have her surgery 20 July with Dr. Maiers to have her femoral anteversion fixed and I will be there for her every step of the way. Her and I want to get custom shirts made that have TEAM MAIERS on the back! He is a fab doctor and he loves my GOT SCREWS? shirt, so we thought we would be creative and funny and make our own. It has been great having her as a bff, we truly are two peas in a pod...thank God for great friends and an amazing family and of course, Chloe! :)
