** TW: Scar (I know it’s only small but still, I used to be very squeamish) shown on slide **
It’s 1 year ago today I had Major Surgery #1/2.
I honestly feel a little emotional because it was a complete life-changer. I’m still healing from both surgeries but it genuinely blows my mind I have had my first ribs removed AND a LOT (the most the surgeon had ever removed!) of muscle.
Yet I returned to work, both times, within 8-10 weeks, I am back to instructing fitness classes & Personal Training Clients AND performing somewhat normally for my own training (albeit more restrained as I am still healing 🫡).
It doesn’t feel like it’s a been a year, yet so much has happened.
So happy 1 year anniversary to me for bringing minus 1 rib ✨ (& many muscles)
