Healing isn’t linear — and this past 2 weeks has made that loud and clear.
After procedure #4, I started off strong. I was back in hot yoga just four days later, feeling hopeful and energized.
But today? I’m barely walking. That’s what three hip bone injections in a row will do — my hip is officially over it.
This roller coaster isn’t just physical. It hits the whole family — never knowing if Mama will be able to walk, cook, drive, do bedtime. Some days I can. Some days I absolutely can’t.
But even on the hard days, I can feel the healing happening. And that’s what keeps me mentally grounded — knowing this pain has a purpose.
Thank you for continuing to ride this wave with us. You have no idea how much your love and support are holding us up.
