Three weeks ago I had hip surgery. What I’ve learned from telling people about my surgery is that they assume this is an old person procedure and wonder why I had it. I had a hip arthroscopy which I would say is more common among younger adults than, say, a hip replacement that is more common in the golden ages. Anyway, hip arthroscopies are primarily done to fix hip impingements (medical term femoroacetabular impingement but also known as FAI) or to repair labral tears (torn cartilage in the hip joint). When I first learned I was having the surgery to repair both issues mentioned, I was disappointed by how little I found on the internet of real experiences. Here is my recap of things I prepped to help make my recovery easier. I hope this helps someone else!

Does anyone feel as though this winter is lasting an eternity? I normally love winter but then again, I also love winter sports and I have not been able to do them this year (more on that later). We have reached mid-February and realized the schools around here have not gone for a full 5 days since before Christmas. The weather is just killing it. And the makeup for ice, snow, and frigid days is going to lead to school all year round at this rate! If you are struggling this winter like we are, here is a roundup of great ideas to pass the time until the snow melts for good.
9 Songs for 2019
Music can be so therapeutic. It can capture emotions and moods and feelings when you can’t put them all into words. 2018 definitely brought a lot of ups and downs and I am expecting 2019 to do the same. But here are 9 songs I’ll be listening to a lot this year for different reasons. Most of these are not super well known, so hopefully you’ll discover something new that you love!
