@zlcspeaks: 🦵🏽 Knee Replacement Chronicles: Post-Op Realness 🩹 Today was one of those tough healing moments — stitch removal. 😣 The medical team worked carefully to take out the sutures from my surgical incision, but whew… some of them had settled deep beneath the skin. 🎙️ “Getting it… ugh… underneath the skin. Sorry.” Their hands were steady, but the discomfort was real. Painful? Yes. Uncomfortable? Definitely. Necessary? Absolutely. Every pull, every tug, every moment of discomfort — it's all part of the process. Healing isn't always pretty. But I’m grateful for progress, no matter how slow or painful it feels. Here’s to restoration, strength, and walking again with purpose 🙏🏽💪🏽 #KneeReplacementRecovery #PostOpJourney #HealingInProgress #FaithOverFear #StrengthThroughStruggle #ZLCSpeaks #InMyFathersHands
