When they say ‘Met Gala’ theme for a party…we make a couture dress for the event, right?
swipe through to see parts of the process…having no mannequin made it challenging, especially pinning 😆
Thankful my husband understands my love of creating, my insanity of working up to the very last moment and my friends & family who encouraged me to embrace the opportunity!
It’s been a while since I sewed, the seam ripper made more than 1 appearance, the peacock 🦚 feathers were surprisingly easier to work with than I thought & it was a good reminder that formalwear requires a lot of hand stitching 🤪
Now what can I wear this to again???

Hair by and make up by custom design by me ☺️

1 month!
Time moves very slowly and yet has gone by quick (kinda like motherhood!) 2weeks until I check in with my Dr. & walk with both legs again!

1. My body rebelled against me by shedding skin & making my hair brittle, so the talented Ellie helped me make the most of chopping it short!

2. 16 stairs…16 single leg squats on the way up, 16 perilous single leg squats on the way down. My right leg hasn’t been this strong since the summer of 2001 (before I had knee surgery on that side!)

3. Looking good! The incision sites are almost all healed on the surface…working on what’s happening underneath still - keeping swelling down and working on scar massage, fascia release, mobility & quad strength.

“Mom, you look ready to go backpacking”

I’m glad my kid envisions what’s possible & sees beyond my current status of being on crutches 🥰

Currently 2.5 weeks into a long recovery from a knee injury that occurred the week before Thanksgiving. ACL repair, Meniscus repair, kneecap cleanup & cartilage removal/regrowth by the team led by Dr. Henne at Trinity Health Orthopedics.
I am supported by so many incredible body work therapists on my prehab & post op journey - Che Kelly Dr. Annie Laura Grandville Suzette cascade Jennifer They not only help keep my body going, but my mind as well - incredible people passionate about the work they do and caring like the friends they have become!

The care & understanding of my clients when my surgery date got moved up by 2 weeks was overwhelming. I get to work with the best moms! I miss my clients & my work as a trainer, but my work has now shifted inward for the time being to get the best recovery possible.

I’m on crutches for another 4.5 weeks 😬 non weight bearing 😮‍💨 moving slow 🐢 but still moving!

Pictures:
1. Crutching around the house with a backpack so I can carry things
2. Heading in for surgery on the 13th, 1st car in the lot, 1st surgery of the day
3. Fashion statement & 1 knee with no surgical scars yet
(Other knee had this surgery in 2002!)
4. Back home for recovery
5. Planned ahead & got temp handicap parking- it’s been a god send in winter!
6. Brace disappears at the end of this week! It’s annoying at this point.
7. PT at home - all I do is straighten & bend and try to get muscles to fire again!
8. Cooking in the kitchen requires a chair to rest
9. 2 weeks post op incisions - all 5!

Traveling?
Lift with your legs, exhale to help that core engage and flex those muscles you’ve been working on 💪 & good luck if you get in a cardio sprint at the airport 🏃🏽‍♀️💨

March on, persevere, find new life, look for the color to return, the promise of change and progress, a reason to breathe deep & gaze at the sun again…maybe March should be the month of mothers…
