Day 39: Post-Operation

Posted by: boomboompao on: August 27, 2010

I visited the doctor today, and… (drum roll) she said I don’t have to walk around in a brace anymore!! I also don’t have to wear the SteriStrips, which she peeled off to reveal two very little scars. My physical therapist and I have agreed that I’m about 98-99% healed, which means this has been [...]

Nom Nom Review: Fins Mexican Eatery

Posted by: boomboompao on: August 21, 2010

Nic was craving fish tacos last night, so we searched “fish tacos” to look for a new place to try… and discovered that there’s another Mexican restaurant in the La Jolla Ralphs shopping plaza called Fins. WTF? I had no idea, and I’m there all the time! Well, curiosity was getting to us and we [...]

Day 31 Post-Operation

Posted by: boomboompao on: August 19, 2010

Wow, I’ve really been slacking on the updates. It’s been a month now since surgery, and things have been going well! Two weeks ago, I started riding on the stationary bike, and that’s been super helpful to my recovery… plus, I’m finally getting some cardio! It’s pretty crazy how much muscle my right leg has [...]

Posted by: boomboompao on: August 14, 2010

This Good Housekeeping article came up on the front page of Yahoo! titled “Don’t Let Money Problems Ruin Your Marriage.” My parents constantly fought about money issues as I was growing up, so I couldn’t resist reading this. The article consists of five so-called “money problems” that couples should work on avoiding. And look at [...]

Nom Nom Review: Quehuong Restaurant

Posted by: boomboompao on: August 5, 2010

I have always loved good food and for the longest time have secretly openly dreamed of being a food critic. Now that I have new career dreams, I no longer dream this, BUT I still enjoy eating food, critiquing it, and writing about it as one can see on my Yelp account. But Yelp is [...]

Day 14 Post-Operation

Posted by: boomboompao on: August 2, 2010

Sorry for the lack of updates! My post-op has been relatively uneventful since the last post. So on Day 7 of my Post-Op (last Monday), I got my temporary handicap placard! It took a few days for the hospital to finally give me the papers I needed to take to DMV to finally get this [...]
