July 6th, 2021 is the beginning of my road to recovery once again. I am currently 3 months post op, for my 2nd surgery on my right labrum in my hip. This recovery has been slower and more tedious than the first one, I believe it is like this because I know have a cadaver. My labrum was too deteriorated to try and repair it again, therefore, we decided to go with get a cadaver which has made the recovery process a lot longer than the first.

I am currently going to physical therapy 2 to 3 times a week. I am usually there an hour to and hour and a half, going to physical therapy is my favorite when I get needling, stem treatment, acupuncture, and massages. If this was the only thing I had to do there I would be living the dream. Unfortunately, there are points where we do exercises to help get me back in the gym. These exercises are usually hard to do when I first get them and my body at points starts to shake because my muscles are not used to doing that current movement. However, once we work on it multiple times it gets easier and I can feel my hip strengthening.

Physical therapy is not something I just do when I actually go into see my doctor. I have physical therapy workouts I have to do everyday at home to help with the healing process. Hopefully, one day I will be able to function at 100% and not have to worry about constantly going to physical therapy.

I am looking forward to thanksgiving break. It's always so a exciting having a week off of school, I like having it off because it's time I get to spend with my family. I am ready to be able to sleep in for a week, I miss be able to sleep after 6 am. I am also because we have family from out of town that comes in which is super exciting. Especially since I haven't seen some of them for over a year.

I can't wait for actually thanksgiving day, this year we are having it at our house which is nice because that means I don't have to drive. There is so much food that is made and eaten that days it's crazy not only that but there's so much variety because we have so many different cultures in my family which is cool because it means there is some good food. I also love just being able to spend time with family and celebrate together.

Me and my cousins always play just dance on thanksgiving and it can get super competitive. The adults eventually get involved too which is super funny to watch happen. After everyone finishes eating at least 2 full plates we all end up in the living room sitting around taking and often playing board games. It is probably one of my favorite night just because we get to hangout and cherishing being with family.

Recently I have been so busy with life. Between going to school, work, and managing a social life I have been super busy. I am looking forward to having a week of from school and work to just relax and take time for myself. I can't wait to spend time with my friends and have sleepovers. I am also looking forward to decorating for Christmas after thanksgiving. I really want it to snow but at the same time I don't want it to get cold because my body hurts when it gets cold.

In school right now I am working on a lot of projects for classes. Projects are my favorite type of school work to do. I feel like it just make doing the work more exciting and rewarding then doing a bunch of little assignments. I have also been preparing for finals because I feel like there's going to be a lot of work the week of finals. I am ready for this semester to be over, am ready to be done with high school. I am ready to graduate.

At home I have been spending as much time as possible with my family and friends. There presences always make me happy, I'm so grateful to have such amazing friends and family. As for work, I love my job and the people I work with, many people hate the idea of going to work but I actually find a lot of joy from where I work. The environment is such a positive place, we are all hard workers but make time to have fun while we work. It is almost like a family environment everyone is helping each other and making each other laugh but we also are serious about our work and make sure we are all performing at 110%.

Coming back after winter break has been a challenge, knowing I'm so close to being done with high school yet it feels like a lifetime before we graduate. When the senior's last year said after winter break is when the senorities starts to kick in I was skeptical but now I could not agree more. I only need one more class to graduate but we have to have 5 classes every semester which makes it so hard to find the drive to go to those classes. I wish I would only have to worry about the one class I need to graduate. I am hoping teachers become a little easier on us after spring break because I have a feeling all the senior will be ready to be done with school. I can only imagine for myself how hard it's going to be knowing I only have few weeks left till I'm done with high school.

Even with the having senioritis, I am looking forward to all that comes with this semester. Senior have so much to look forward between having prom, senior ditch day, graduating, and etc. Even with still being in school we have so much going on that it feels like the school days go by so fast and the events we have are never ending which is great. I can't wait to go to prom I have always wanted to go to prom since I was little, and me and my brother have had a pack since my freshman year that I will take him with me since it's such a special moment for me before graduating. Not to mention I'm counting down the days till graduation to celebrate my special moment with my family.

All in all it's know that these next couple months are all we have left with the people we have spent the last four years with. I will miss being at Pomona and all the experiences it has came with and taught me. We have worked so hard to be in this semester of our high school careers, and get to walk across the stage in front of our loved ones.

I am currently writing a story wants going on at Pomona and how crazy it has been. Between getting our new principle, to getting ready for wish week, to prom, and so much more. This feels like such a busy time at Pomona but it's all good things. I almost forgot to mention the fact that we don't have to wear masks at school anymore which is so weird. It's almost been two years and now we no longer have to worry about having to wear our masks. It finally feels like we are back to having a normal senior year which is crazy to think. It's exciting knowing how far we are coming.

Getting ready to finish off school is something I am living for. I am so beyond ready for my next chapter, unlike everyone else I'm not going to college. I am working on getting my Pilot license and honestly this is something I have wanted to do for awhile now. I will start the program fulltime in May after we graduate. I am hopefully going to get my commercial license within the next 2 years if I work at the pace I of going fulltime.
