A Journey Through Hip Surgery, MRSA, and Healing
After months of pain without answers, a quiet moment in my van brought the revelation my body had been trying to speak all along: the geometry was off. This post shares the turning point where I stopped waiting for a doctor to confirm what I already knew — and began trusting the deep intelligence of my own body.
Over three days, I celebrated small victories and significant milestones, from walking unsupported to completing my first solo grocery trip in months. These moments remind me that healing is not linear but full of meaningful progress and reflections.
Days 2 and 3 following Hurricane Helene were a mix of physical recovery and mental reflection. As power remained out and the damage around me was revealed, I focused on healing—both from surgery and the storm’s impact. From reconnecting with neighbors to diving into Cobalt Red, these days were about finding stillness amidst the chaos while pushing through the ongoing challenges of recovery.
These past two days have been a mix of progress and introspection. From navigating pain during massage therapy to small wins at the coffee shop, I’m learning that healing is about embracing both the physical and emotional layers of this journey.
In this recovery update, I reflect on small yet powerful moments of progress, from navigating everyday challenges after hip surgery to experiencing a breakthrough during a visit to my favorite coffee shop. With physical therapy, support from friends, and insights from Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation, I find strength in the little victories, even amid the ongoing pain.
As I continue to recover from my hip surgery, I’m finding unexpected moments of reflection. Despite the unrelenting pain and the challenges of recovery, I’m beginning to see this time as a gift—an opportunity to unplug and reconnect with myself. From battling physical pain to moments of stillness and connection with family, today offered a glimpse into how struggle can lead to growth, learning, and healing.
