The Hip Chronicles--Episode #4: From Om to OMG: Pre-Surgery Chronicle

When you hit play on this, I’ll be two days post-op, resting with two brand new hips (and probably packed in ice and filled with a relaxed euphoria thanks to pain meds).

But this short episode was recorded two and a half weeks before surgery — in the thick of it. I was overwhelmed, anxious, and buried under a mountain of insurance calls and logistics. I share all of that here, honestly and unfiltered.

This episode is for anyone navigating a health challenge, especially if you're doing it alone. I know how heavy it can feel. I know the moments when you want to throw your hands up and say, “Forget it, it’s too much.” Or in my case multiple expletives!

 But I also know this: you are capable. You are strong. Even when it’s messy. Even when you feel anything but.

 I share:

• Pre-surgery anxiety
• Insurance madness
• Logistics overwhelm
• What it really feels like leading up to a major health decision

🎧 Follow for updates as I share the real recovery in upcoming episodes of The Hip Chronicles. Not sure when I'll be able to make complete sentences after the surgery, but as soon as I can, I will record all the post-surgery stories.
