10 Weeks Post Surgery — Mostly All Better

May 10, 2018 by not your average mom Leave a Comment

I forgot to share the results of my 8 week post-op check up. First, I feel great.  My recovery was a breeze.  Ten days after surgery I was driving, […]

February 26, 2018 by not your average mom 6 Comments
