Find out how singer-songwriter Pink is doing now after her recent hip surgery.
Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Pink took to social media on Wednesday, November 17, to update her fans on her current state of health after recently going through hip surgery.
In an Instagram post, Pink shared a photo of herself in a black top and shorts taken seven days after going through hip surgery at the Steadman Clinic in Vail, California.
The first part of her post reads, “Hey world! This is what nine hours of sleep and cuddles from my kiddos looks like 7 days post hip surgery!!”
The “Raise Your Glass” singer then thanked her doctor and her husband, professional freestyle motorist Carey Hart, for taking good care of her during this challenging phase in her life.
Pink wrote, “It was a brutal first week full of tears and pain med depression, ulcers from meds and constant fevers, but my @hartluck brought me through. (No one recovers from surgery like he does, he's not real.)”
She also added, “He brought me coffee in the shower, lugged around my 100-pound CPM contraptions everywhere I went, dried my tears, cooked me oatmeal, kept track of my meds, got me my phone charger, plugged in my compression machines, took my temp, made the bed, and talked me off the ledge.”
Pink also said that despite needing to be on crutches for six weeks, she's grateful and considers the setback as a blessing in disguise.
She said, “Life always reminds you that most setbacks are actually just pauses and opportunities to recalibrate and count your blessings.”
The 42-year-old singer and mom-of-two, who describes herself as a “very independent person,” also shared that the experience has taught her to accept help as she is rendered physically unable and dependent for a couple of months.
She declared, “My journey will be quick and intentional. And I will make a full recovery. For that I am so blessed."
Pink ended her post by praising those who are able to turn a crisis into something positive.
“I'm impressed by those that face real, hard challenges, and alchemize their situation into something magical, or meaningful, she wrote. “In the meantime, shout out to all of those on the journey to wellness, and to those making magic out of the impossible."
