In March of 2010, my daughter was involved in a serious car accident that left her battling the chronic neurological pain disorder Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS/RSD) and changed our lives forever. Follow us along on our journey. Our suitcases have no room for negativity.

Happy Feet in Chicago!
I feel as though Chicago is slowly & currently taking the place of home, what with the amount of time spent here for medical treatments and what not.
However, you know what? Looking back on what Chicago has managed to do to my health - that’s kind of somewhat alright with me.
I mean…
Do we see that I’m wearing normal sandals? Or rather, sandals with a little heel, no doubt!
Gone is the era of the public wearing of my sad looking black bedroom slipper things with every single outfit, no matter how bright, how sequined, nor how ladened with tropical flowers (oh yeaaaa, I’m that girl).
Sadly, it didn’t seem to matter to the world that they were oh-so-expensive & UGG’s, everyone just seemed to find them oh-so-overpriced & UGG-LY - which was devastating seeing as longtime readers know my adoration, adulation, & admiration of beautiful footwear. 
And what about the color of my feet in this picture? Yes ok, I’ll give you the fact that there’s a slight difference in color (if you don’t know what I’m talking about click here or here for a greater understanding of CRPS/RSD symptoms), but hardly so when compared to this! Or how about this.
I love you Chicago!
Until my next craving of sun, sand, & sea at least. ;) xx

I’m having surgery again today, hear why in this Vlog!

Also… y’all deserve a proper explanation as to where I’ve been over the past (yikes…!) 8 weeks.

Lots of love. Be well.
