January 30, 2020 No Comments
miami island queen

For a relaxing and entertaining afternoon mansion-spotting, hop aboard the Miami Island Queen’s “Millionaire Row” Cruise from Downtown Miami! (A review) I know it probably sounds strange coming from a traveler who doesn’t usually have access to TV and magazines, but I really enjoy celebrity!  For me, I think it’s the glamour of it all […]

Bye bye, plica bands!! ✌️🎉 Photos from my k Bye bye, plica bands!! ✌️🎉 Photos from my knee #arthroscopy and plica-ectomy yesterday 👨‍⚕️📸 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ //Photo 1: Plica band pre-surgery //Photo 2: Plica band being shaved off //Photo 3: Healthy #meniscus (with surgeon’s probe) //Photo 4: Healthy #ACL //Photo 5: Healthy #knee cap . . . Oh man, I almost can’t believe I was able to squeeze this #surgery in!! Living between several countries at a time has always had its pluses and minuses. Luckily I have great health insurance both in the US (#thanksobama) as well as abroad (thanks, @worldnomads). I think it’s a credit to my constant hand sanitizing (thanks, @bathandbodyworks) that I haven’t had to use either much. Unfortunately last year I hit a bump — make that two bumps — with my knees 😓 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I started feeling pain on the top-insides of both knees after doing any moderate physical activity... which I do a lot of! (Can’t explore a new place without taking several laps, right? And don’t get me started on hiking/trekking 😓😓) I just knew it couldn’t be normal, and I wasn’t about to settle for it. So when I came back to Michigan in November last year I had my first ever MRI done, saw my first ever surgeon, and booked my first ever surgery for the end of January 2020. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was pretttty nervous yesterday. I don’t know about you, but my only experience with general anesthesia/surgery comes from watching #Greys & #Scrubs 😜 So I was THRILLED/RELIEVED to hear (through a happy fog of anesthesia meds and pain killers 😶) that my surgery was a #success 👍 . . . 💡💡For anybody who’s interested, turns out I had something called “plica syndrome.” The basic gist is about half of people are born with this plica band (Photo 1) on their knee lining, and half absorb it before birth. Apparently Fetus Miche (that’s me 🙋‍♀️) wanted to be a little extra, so she kept it. And because I’m so active those plica bands began to thicken and rub against the bone (“plica syndrome”), causing pretty debilitating pain for a few days afterward. (As my super cool surgeon put it, “Imagine rubbing a thick guitar string against your bone. That’s how it feels.”) Hey, #themoreyouknow right?
Twilight in #Dubrovnik from an unlikely spot 😉🏰✨ . . . Did you think this was shot from the city walls?? It wasn’t! Having been up there once I didn’t feel the pressing need to go again this time around. So Boyfriend and I decided to seek out the best non-wall views around town instead. This one was taken from a not-too-secret basketball court just below the northwest tower! We did do a little climbing to get the perfect unobstructed view, but it was super worth it 😊 Swipe for the #sunset and #BTS photos Boyfriend snagged before I joined him and got my perfect #periwinkle shot 📸 #croatia
