Oh my gosh, it has been a full month! Crazy… and kind of sad. Time is going by too fast! This week has been full of phenomenal new experiences, a few challenges, and some homesickness, with the cure being a best friend visitation!
Aspen Sports Medicine: The good news, patients are getting better!!!!!! Yay!! Okay, seriously. Let’s see, many of you care more about this aspect than anything else in the Aspen experience, so I’ll try to fill you in. Conveniently, work encompassed most of my life this week. Tuesday provided a GREAT trip to Vail. We spent the day at the Steadman-Hawkins clinic, one of the most famous orthopaedic surgery facilities in the nation, and watched a really phenomenal hip surgery! For all the medical nerds out there, this was her 5th hip surgery, she had damaged femoral head cartilage, osteoporosis, and unexpectedly NO LABRUM! Dr. Philippon did a spontaneous labral reconstruction with the IT band. It was awesome! We then saw some patients with Dr. Millett and chatted with the other physicians. Dr. Steadman went to medical school at UT Southwestern and still goes back to Dallas to teach! Small world. Dr. Karli then gave a lecture on the use of PRP (plasma-rich platelets) and the up-and-coming evidentiary support. You will be seeing this as injections and in surgeries in the near future, as they are already common here! Okay, back to English. Wednesday mornings are rounds with Dr. Pevny in Aspen, who happens to be an Aggie and a spectacular surgeon. The clinic is going well, and I am really learning more than imaginable. Those of you who know me, know I need more feedback than “doll, you are doing great”, but I’m learning to adapt to that too. Overall, the clinic has just created more questions than before! This dose of clinical skepticism, hopefully which is a healthy dose, keeps my nose in the books. Either way, based on it, we found a mistake in an older edition of the McGee textbook. Crazy! I feel as if UTSW provided a fantastic educational foundation, and in the clinical we are now improving hand skills, clinical reasoning, providing an appropriate plan of care, time/patient management, plus much more. However, I am still very much a student, because my thought process is still extremely textbook. Eventually it’ll be different…..Oh, yeah, most of our patients are post-surgical, so the opportunities to REALLY evaluate patients are limited. However, where there has been the occasion, the therapist and I have come up with the same conclusion! Whew!! That’s a good sign.
Texas Visitation: This week was more difficult than normal in regard to being a bit homesick. Pam, who I live with and have grown extremely close to, was in Denver all week. I worked super late every evening so didn’t have the opportunity to meet with the normal crew, or make it to the young adult group on Wednesday night, or ski, or really chat with anyone. Getting off work late, and then adding in the time change, there was not a good opportunity to talk to anyone from home either. New friends are fantastic, but my close friends are still in Texas and I miss them soooooo much!!! It was a semi-lonely week, but then Jodie made it on Friday!!! Yay! She is such a blessing, and a great friend from college I terribly miss. Jodie is one of those amazing individuals who is completely real, down to earth, always bluntly honest, funny, and a blast to be around. She says things the way they are, and I have missed her friendship dearly! You can be confident you look good around her, because she would politely tell you to change if you didn’t, lol. Unfortunately, both of her flights were delayed, so she was late getting to Aspen, and really late getting home. Overall, her trip was a blast! The weekend with her involved seeing Aspen both day and night, talking, hiking (in the snow), shopping, more talking, laughing, trying new restaurants, the chocolate factory, a lot of laughing when Joey, the teenage chocolate salesman, gave us free hot chocolate then worked hard to impress us with bar-tending flare of the whipped cream can, a lot more laughing when he let us know when he was free to hang out, watching it snow, playing in the snow, slipping on the ice, more talking, a few games of pool, and my personal favorite response to gay ski week, playing “yay” or “nah” in guessing the sexual orientation of almost every guy in Aspen.
Crossroads Church: Still spectacular as always. Ended the Fast. Amazing experience. AMAZING sermon on Sunday evening about the Power to Change. Recommend podcasting it. Go to http://www.crossroadschurchaspen.com/flash_web/front/1510/media/media.php?a=1 and it should be up soon, for the 1/24/10 service, under the “Jesus is my Homeboy” cover. Yeah, I know what you are thinking about the title. Its great though!

Okay, I live here; Aspen, Week 3
Aspen is now my home. They say it takes 19 days to form a habit, and today makes day 20 of Colorado life. Pam and John, the owners of the B&B where I live are absolutely phenomenal. They each have a huge heart, are very wise, and are so encouraging in faith! Finding Crossroads, living with Pam & John, having two bible studies, and making some amazing friends is DEFINITELY a God story. It has all worked out so perfectly!
Aspen Sports Medicine: Splendid! Learning extensive medicine, skills, communication, business, etc. Also treating a bunch of famous people, former Olympic athletes, etc. I usually don’t know who they are. More about the clinic next week.
Traci Lately:
1. Learning to breath…I can run again! Almost fully altitude adapt!
2. Colorado is so healthy! Walk everywhere, church-wide fast, and can’t afford anything to eat.
3. A little girl at the mountain said “excuse me, but you are very pretty.” She made my day, and I wanted to keep her forever! Sadly, I was sitting there with ice on my injured shoulder, a Stella, and Advil. Awesome.
4. Cooking vegan!
5. Great restaurants with new friends (yes, cheated on the Fast).
6. Soup Skol- trial soup competition from all the local restaurants. Awesomeness.
7. Winter Skol- annual celebration of Aspen ski season. Ice sculptures, live music, beer garden, fireworks, etc.
8. Haven’t mastered distinguishing frozen puddles from ones where my foot sinks into 4 inches of water.
9. A lady next to me brought her yappy dog named “Bruiser” to Church. Yes. Inside Church.
10. My co-workers frequently refer to me as “Tex”.
Growing in Faith: Philippians 3:12-14 (check it out) is me right now. I have so much to learn, and am not there at all. Simply in the process.
Like previously mentioned, Pam demonstrates a Proverbs 31 woman well, and I’m really learning a lot about living for the Lord. We have spent quite a bit of time together studying the Word, praying, walking, talking about Christ, and praying for Haiti. Haiti…something similar can happen so fast, to any of us. Is this life all there is?
I don’t believe so… Therefore, God is teaching me (an on-going process) about dying to self and letting Him live in me; ie, pride.
Do I TRULY rely on Him instead of my own talents?
Do I sincerely expect Him to come through?
Have I put God in a bubble? Am I in a bubble?
The other revelation God has given me, going along with pride, is often our lack of reverence for Him. This is the CREATOR we are talking about! I choke on words when speaking to Gerard Butler, but so casually approach the Throne of Christ? (Psalm 8) What? The “Religious” God I’d known for so long is minuscule in comparison to who God actually is, and yet God is often thought of in the following manner: Stand up. Sing. Sit down. Stand up. Bow your head. Say this creed. Tithe. Check the list. Repeat next Sunday. Seriously? What punch did we drink that made us think this is the relationship God desires? Scripture definitely does not agree. Religion and Relationship are such vastly different concepts, and they are so often misconstrued. I’ve been here, but why do we profess the Bible, when, if being honest, we don’t really know what it says? How can we know God’s heart if we never read His word? Or pray? We stand on Biblical bits and pieces we learned in 4th grade VBS, and consequently never become spiritually mature (Heb 5:11-14; 6:1-3; 1 Tim 4:7) As spiritually immature believers, we never develop a defendable faith. How can we expect the world (US Government, etc) to honor Christianity if we can’t defend it? Honestly, it isn’t a chore, obligation, or intimidation to read the Word, it’s a blessing that people all over the world die for. Check out "A Case for Christ".
One spectacular characteristic of Aspen, a city of the ‘world’ very far from the ‘Bible belt’, is that the Christians here are completely on fire for God rather than being complacent. It isn’t cool, expected, or required to be a Christian, the way it is at home. Instead, the smaller church is full of people with Genuine, Sincere, Trusting, Relying, Encouraging, and Deep Faith. I want to be more like this.
The Daniel Fast…It’s been hard this week and I’m hungry. Made everyone laugh hysterically as my face blatantly coveted Devin’s food today. And I’ve cheated a bit, which shows my people pleasing habit because I don’t want to come across as a ‘Religious fanatic’ to a new friend. But who am I trying to please, God or man? (Gal 1:10) Why can’t I trust God? (Romans 1:16-17). Good news, the Fast is requiring me to rely on Him much more, expose my addictions, and live 1 Thess 5:16 much more.
Adieu! Love and miss everyone so much! Thanks for being in my life!

The Real World: Aspen, week 2
This week has been quite an introduction to an abundance of new experiences!
Aspen Sports Medicine: I’m actually kind-of a PT? What? When did that happen? Week 1 on the very first clinical has been phenomenal! Co-workers, stellar. Wednesday rounds with a fellow Aggie physician, very educational. Scrubbing in on awesome surgeries, such as a total knee arthroplasty, spectacular! It’s so great to be reminded why we entered this profession in the first place: to see patients. And fortunately, I remember more than I thought. whew! However, there is SOOOO much to learn, and embarrassingly more that I didn’t retain from the world of academia. An intern is an interesting place to be though, because we as students were taught “latest” practice, and in the clinic things can be done very differently. It is a learning process of incorporating the clinicians practice with the professors insight to best treat the patient. I feel smart enough to be dangerous, haha.
Crossroads Church: Day 7 of 21 of the Daniel fast (basically going vegan) has been so insightful! This is my first food-fast, so I’m learning how to be hungry for God while teaching self control and opening conversation. And surprisingly, I’m not really that hungry, but rather feel very refreshed and healthy. I do notice an increase in prayer time and more fruitful quite times, and just began the book “The Rewards of Fasting”. More on that later. Also, the young adult group met Wed night, studying the Song of Solomon. Getting new perspectives on loving the Lord has really sparked growth, however, I do miss “Still the one”, TNS, The Porch, and Watermark in Dallas.
Aspen-Life Lessons:
1.When locals say a ski-slope is “fun” or “pretty easy” don’t believe them.
2.High-heels in the winter. Just. Say. No.
3.Pay attention on trails when praying, running, ipod singing, and observing the beautiful scenery: 5 miles away = 5 miles home = 10 miles total.
4.New friends make for new adventures. Yet, old ones are irreplaceable!
5.Randy Rogers Band came to Aspen! People listen to country, but no one is country. They purchased the $600 Stetson at Kemo-Sabe earlier that day.
6. The Mexican food here is terrible.
7.Aspen is a small town, and the people are so welcoming and friendly! Reminds me of small town Texas! :D

The Vacation: Aspen, week 1
Aspen is absolutely phenomenal!! Here is the recap from the vacation-part of Aspen.
Roadtrip: The drive through OK, KS, then to CO definitely attested to be more fun than typical. There is just something about being from Texas! Everyone wants to be your friend, mention they visited Texas in 1993, and ask if you know their cousin Charley. I secretly love it! We also took tons of fun pictures. See facebook.
Day 1: Arrive in Aspen around 7 pm. The quaint little town sparkles with Christmas lights, glimmers with snow, and the buildings look like Gingerbread houses. It feels like a tangible fairy tale. The drive from Texas to Aspen was simple. However, the half-mile drive up the mountain to the new home was more than the TX vehicle could handle. Haha. Yes, ice, sliding, snow, getting stuck, getting rescued, and ultimately leaving the car in town was quite an eventful experience. *note* WE did not get the vehicle stuck. A friend from Aspen, who thought he could make the hill did. Then he rescued us. It was rather entertaining.
Day 2: Aspen in the day! Lovely! We learned the bus system, became oriented to the town, ate local food, and met quite a few people. The people are great! Everyone is so friendly and helpful. It honestly feels like small town Texas. Aspen is rather small, about 6,000 people, but this week (Christmas-New Years) has about 10,000. There are quite a few restaurants/bars and the scene seems similar to uptown Dallas. Interesting note, there are probably twice as many guys here than girls. It’s a nice ratio. ;-) Either Amber and I became smoking hot upon leaving Texas, or all women get continual attention here. Yet, the guys are very much gentlemen. Oh yeah, minor detail. WE MET GERARD BUTLER!!! We were in line to go to Belly Up, and he was right in front of us. I honestly didn’t believe it was him, until he accidentally bumped into us. So we chatted for a couple of minutes. Mesmerizing eyes, check. Sexy accent, check. Traci forgot her name and has no idea what we talked about, check.
Day 3: Skiing= awesome! Aspen has 4 mountains to ski. Buttermilk. Aspen. Highlands. Snowmass. Buttermilk is the Xgame mountain with the jumps and pipe. Aspen is literally at the base of Aspen mountain. Highlands is BEAUTIFUL! Snowmass is the largest ski acreage in Colorado. Snowmass village is a cute little mountain area. Very cool note. Our charming ski instructor/actor friend gave us free lift tickets. The guys at the rental shop gave us equipment. Honestly, single ladies move to the mountains!
Day 4-6: Visited the clinic, LOVED everyone! Semi-terrified of not remembering anything from school. Spent a lot of time walking around town, getting lost, making more friends, shopping for things we would never actually buy, taking a ridiculous amount of pictures, eating at famous places, including OUTSIDE at Ajax (detailed in the movie Aspen Extreme), and doing the Aspen touristy thing. It was a blast! Because it is a small town, we ran into the same people over and over. NYE: Celebrated with a pro cyclist and fellow medical professional, dressed as Harry and Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber. They were hysterical, and very entertaining tourists from Vermont. There are very few people actually from Aspen this week.
Day 7: Love LoVe LOVE the church, Crossroads. I was rather nervous about moving from the network of believers in Dallas to the middle of ‘worldly’ Aspen. God totally provided!! Crossroads is very similar to my Dallas church, Watermark, on a MUCH smaller scale. The pastor, Dan, actually went to DTS. Already have a bible study and a semi-good friend. Pam & John, the amazing B&B owners where I am staying, are so encouraging and wise. The Lord definitely lives in their home! Opposite of my concerns, I have a feeling this will be a fantastic place to grow spiritually!!!!! Oh yeah, Crossroads is doing a 21 day Daniel fast that started today. I’ve never really fasted before, so I’m really excited to see change when being hungry for God!
There you go everyone! That’s the LONG update from this week of vacationing! The rest won’t be daily entries, so no worries mate. In addition, day one of clinical rotation one begins tomorrow! I’m semi-terrified that I don’t remember anything!!! But,extremely excited too. Aspen Sports Medicine, here comes Dallas.

2010: The beginning
There is no time like the present. My dad regularly says, “You aren’t getting any younger”. It is the beginning of 2010, and for me, the initiation of a plethora of new beginnings. 2009 proved to be a year equipped with phenomenal friends, life lessons learned both the easy and the difficult way, exceptional and unforgettable experiences, growing pains in growing up, the birth and death of family, and most importantly, radical transformations through Christ.
As for me, Christmas 2009 sparked a solo move to Aspen, CO for a Sports Medicine rotation. March will spring a move back to Dallas, TX. August will lead me to Raleigh, NC. December brings about PT School graduation. Whew! 2010 should be jam packed with amazing experiences, some a bit scary, but most extremely exhilarating, more learning than imaginable, personal challenges, loving new friends but terribly missing the old, and an all around spectacular ride that requires full reliance on God. I’ll try to keep you posted on here!
