Today I’m starting a weekly post series called #Medx Mondays! Since I experienced so much during my trip to Palo Alto, I decided to chop up my take aways in, as @AuntieStress said, ‘bite size chunks’. So, drummmmmmm rollllllll please . . .

As I’m settling back into the routine of my daily life, I feel overwhelmed with emotions when I reflect on the past 2 weeks.

Elementary school & crutches edition My knee problems started back in elementary school and I had my first knee surgery in 5th grade. Every year after that I had a brace, was on crutches, in PT, had to sit out of gym, or SOMETHING! There was always something going on. For a while I thought …

Today my brother started his senior year of high school. Not only can I not believe he’s that old, but I can’t believe that I’m still dealing with my health issues. When he was starting 10th grade I was dealing with my 4th surgery, not healing well and talking with my doctor about scheduling my …
