Trauma, Rock Bottom, and Recovery

This week on TTFIO, we bring you a solo episode. In September of 2020, I had surgery to remove micro-adenoma in my pituitary gland, located at the base of my brain. The tumor was not cancerous. The surgery went well and I will be forever grateful to my amazing doctors, friends and family for taking incredible care of me during that time. The recovery was harder than anything I could have imagined. Mentally, I am still processing this trauma. In the aftermath of my surgery, I had deep anxiety that became so severe, it took more than 6 months before I started to feel like myself. Though I still have tremendous fears around my health … today, I am healthy. The reason I am telling this story is to share my experience with PTSD, how it has affected me and offer support to anyone struggling in any way. I hope you all tune in and I am excited to share this with you all.
