🌸 Talking to Myself: Words of Healing and Hope during Surgery Recovery 🌸

Dear Self,

As I embark on this adventure of surgery recovery, I want to remind you of the strength and resilience that reside within you. It's natural to feel uncertain and overwhelmed, but remember that you've faced challenges before and emerged even stronger.

In the moments of doubt and discomfort, I want you to speak words of healing and hope to yourself. Remind yourself that this recovery period is temporary, and each day brings you closer to renewed health and vitality.

Speak kindness and patience into your own heart. Your body is healing, and it deserves all the love and care you can provide. Embrace rest, nourishing food, and gentle movement as essential components of your recovery process.

Acknowledge the progress you make, no matter how small. Celebrate each step forward, for every milestone achieved is a testament to your courage and determination.

During those tough moments when pain or frustration lingers, offer yourself words of encouragement. Remind yourself that this too shall pass, and brighter days are on the horizon. Remember Phillipians 4:13: I can do all this through Him who gives me strength. NIV, He is always at your side. You are stronger than you realize, and your resilience will carry you through.

Surround yourself with a supportive community, both online and offline. Lean on loved ones, friends, and fellow, Yetter Getters (I Am Titanium), who have gone through similar journeys. Share your experiences, seek advice, and draw inspiration from those who have triumphed over adversity. Like our community!

Above all, trust in the healing power within you. Believe in your body's innate ability to recover and bounce back. Listen to its needs, honor its signals, and give it the time it requires to heal fully.

Remember, dear self, that this surgery recovery is not just about physical healing. It's an opportunity for personal growth, reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the precious gift of health. Embrace this transformative period with grace and gratitude.

Sending you healing thoughts, comforting hugs, and the unwavering belief that you will emerge from this journey stronger and more resilient than ever before.

With love and resilience,

[Self]

Where ever it says "Dear Self" or "Self" replace it with your actual name and just know that saying these words out loud, daily and as often as needed really does make a difference.

I was 41 when I was told I needed a knee replacement and that my other knee would likely follow.

I stopped playing softball.
I stopped walking just to walk.
I stopped using stairs and curbs (yes, even curbs!).
I stopped parking far from the store just to get in extra steps.

One day, I was on the beach, walking through sand and cursing every painful step. I wanted to walk to the water, but it was too far. That day I drew the proverbial line in the sand and decided enough was enough.

I had my left knee replaced at 45, my right hip at 46, and my right knee at 48.

I had no idea that in that pain I would find my purpose. Each of those surgeries taught me something deeper about resilience, strength and courage—and how faithfilled we really are when we keep moving forward.

But I also learned something else: there are huge gaps in the knee replacement adventure. There are things your doctor or physical therapist don’t tell you—because they’ve never lived it. I have. And I know what it takes to build resilience, find courage, and walk faithfilled through the hardest moments.

That’s why I created the Yetter Getter Mindset and why I show up every day as your Holistic Knee Replacement Coach. You don’t have to walk this road alone any longer.
