A new name, a new direction, and a candid plan for a life-changing surgery. We’re opening up about the January 12 hip replacement, how cerebral palsy shapes the rehab roadmap, and why we’re committing to document the good, the bad, and the awkward realities along the way. From navigating inpatient rules to working around shaky hospital Wi‑Fi, we walk through the practical choices that make recovery possible and storytelling honest.
We’re launching a dedicated YouTube channel, she13win, to share short, accessible updates on disability awareness and the day-to-day of post-op life. Expect reflections right after physical therapy, notes on pain management, and the small wins that signal progress: first safe transfer, better sleep positions, and the confidence to bear weight again. You’ll hear how we adapt standard hip protocols to a body that already compensates for CP, and what clinicians look for when aligning mobility goals with spasticity, balance, and fatigue.https://youtu.be/9sTBs-jkuQw?si=FFocrNSO7yAnKCPfhttps://youtu.be/9sTBs-jkuQw?si=FFocrNSO7yAnKCPf
Support systems matter, so we talk about picking a rehab facility with help from our church family, the comfort of familiar halls and staff, and how community lowers stress when everything else feels uncertain. We also get real about timing school around surgery, handling curveballs like a stubborn yeast infection, and protecting energy with short-form content we can sustain through pain and PT. To keep joy in the mix, we tease a light, positive conversation next week about a Disney cruise—because recovery isn’t just milestones and meds, it’s also stories that make the hard days easier.
