One week ago I had surgery on my hip to repair a torn labrum that’s been getting worse over the past few years. This injury has kept me from doing many things I love: working out came to a complete halt once the tear started showing signs of getting worse not better. Being at the shop became crippling towards the very end; a day on my feet meant I would be immobilized for 24 hours after. I’ve put a lot of hope in to this surgery and hoping it allows me to return to all of the things. I’ve been quietly healing at home. I’m ordered to be on crutches and in a brace for two weeks and do physical therapy 2-3 times a week for 4-5 months. This is an exercise in restraint: my instinct is to get up walk, push myself. And break all the rules. It’s so hard to realize that doing less now means doing more later. Doing nothing can sometimes be the hardest thing to do when you feel the world is passing you by! I realize that this surgery is indeed a privilege: and I also realize that there are far worse conditions than mine. I’m incredibly fortunate to have a team of the most awesome co-workers who keep everything at WG moving forward while I’m standing still. Please enjoy swiping through these incredible WG Found items and for better or for worse you HAVE to come shop them in-person!
