I had this pain in my left thigh for months. Told myself it was a Pilates injury. In March, I had a hip replacement. It was terrifying putting a foreign object in my body. Of course, I picked the expensive, not insurance covered device. I wanted longevity and to be able to win a bachata contest. I suffered a severe complication that led to months of depression while my company was struggling. My surgeon recognized I was having a hard time and pulled my care team around me. Although I still have till end of year for recovery, I’m committed to crushing it.
This past weekend I injured my ankle and foot on the opposite leg. I went to see a foot surgeon today and he pulled up a zoom call of all my docs. It made me cry because I didn’t expect this. Each doctor gave a plan to help me through this. The best part was hearing my doc say, your special in this practice Ikimi, we got you!
I’ve committed my life to helping others. People often forget I might need help. I’m thankful I can ask for help. Grateful for those that call and check in.
Some might say this is god trying to tell me to sit down. I beg to differ, I’ve been sitting. God said, girl get up!
*The body for 2027 about to lethal. Watch me work it!
