From Yeast Infection To YouTube: A Medical Sitcom

Send us a text

A new name, a new direction, and a candid plan for a life-changing surgery. We’re opening up about the January 12 hip replacement, how cerebral palsy shapes the rehab roadmap, and why we’re committing to document the good, the bad, and the awkward realities along the way. From navigating inpatient rules to working around shaky hospital Wi‑Fi, we walk through the practical choices that make recovery possible and storytelling honest.

We’re launching a dedicated YouTube channel, she13win, to share short, accessible updates on disability awareness and the day-to-day of post-op life. Expect reflections right after physical therapy, notes on pain management, and the small wins that signal progress: first safe transfer, better sleep positions, and the confidence to bear weight again. You’ll hear how we adapt standard hip protocols to a body that already compensates for CP, and what clinicians look for when aligning mobility goals with spasticity, balance, and fatigue.https://youtu.be/9sTBs-jkuQw?si=FFocrNSO7yAnKCPfhttps://youtu.be/9sTBs-jkuQw?si=FFocrNSO7yAnKCPf

Support systems matter, so we talk about picking a rehab facility with help from our church family, the comfort of familiar halls and staff, and how community lowers stress when everything else feels uncertain. We also get real about timing school around surgery, handling curveballs like a stubborn yeast infection, and protecting energy with short-form content we can sustain through pain and PT. To keep joy in the mix, we tease a light, positive conversation next week about a Disney cruise—because recovery isn’t just milestones and meds, it’s also stories that make the hard days easier.

Join us for this next chapter and help shape what you want to see from rehab to release. Subscribe, share the show with someone who needs a boost, and leave a review with the one question you want answered during recovery.

SPEAKER_00 (00:00):
Welcome to a different shaped haunt, you

Yes, formerly a winning haunt.
Yes, I changed the name of thepodcast and it will s be stuck
with you guys for the rest ofthe time of the podcast, but

(00:20):
we'll get to why in a minute.
But first of all, I would liketo say they scheduled my new um
hip in January.
January 12th will be the godate.
So I will be producing contentfrom rehab.

(00:46):
Um I will be producing now.
I can't necessarily show you umwell maybe I can.
Maybe I'll get specialpermission of me doing physical
therapy so you can see uh hipreplacement with cereal palsy,

(01:07):
but I will be recording TikToksand I will be making shots on my
new YouTube channel, which isshe the number 13 win.
And it's youtube.com slashG13Win.

(01:32):
And that's gonna be my newYouTube channel for um
disability awareness, not inconjunction with this podcast,
it's gonna be more disabilityawareness, and I'm going to have
you guys walk through thisjourney of a hip replacement

(01:54):
with me, but it's gonna be memore me um recording by myself
because I don't think that I canrecord in the inpatient gym.
I will see if I can one day,maybe my second to last, maybe

(02:18):
my last day of play I can.
And so, but you're going to atleast heal the good, the bad,
and the ugly of the hipreplacement at age um 37.
I it was interesting because Iwas talking to someone and I

(02:42):
said, well, it's going to befull circle because by the time
my birthday hits, I'll be ableto put full weight on both my
legs.
And when the injury actuallyhappened, the initial injury
actually happened on mybirthday.

(03:03):
And so yeah, it has been a wildride since, but but right now
I'm also dealing with lovelyyeast infection, which is always
fun.
It's fun being a woman, and theyeast infection has nothing to

(03:27):
do with cerebals, it's just awoman's thing that I'm also
dealing with a yeast infection,which is lovely, and so between
that and the broken hip, andyeah, I'm trying to get into

(03:51):
school, as I said, but that's alittle bit longer than I
thought, and it's taking thatprocess, it's taking a little
bit longer, but once I get intoschool, that will keep me busy
as well, but I'm debatingwhether I should um start after

(04:14):
my hip replacement because theWi-Fi uh is not gonna be very
good in the hospital.
And it's actually bad rehab.
Um I didn't I just found outbecause the when I was up there

(04:40):
originally in 2024, I see thisis a rehab, Pima on the health
Pima rehab is a original rehabthat I got sent to um for my
back.

(05:01):
So I had my back done in Aprilof 2024.
Well, this is a rehab that theysent me to.
Um this was their choice doc.

(05:21):
Actually, it was my choice, butthis is where they sent me, they
gave me a list of rehabs, and mychurch family was up there.
And when I say my church family,these people are not related um

(05:45):
to me by blood, they're just mychosen family, just like Danny
Ellis, even though she's my bestfriend, she's more like the
sister I never had.
And so my chosen family was upthere visiting me um when the

(06:08):
list came in to pick for me togo to rehab because I said from
the get-go I was going to rehabfor the second round of my back,
and I um I decided to go wheremy church family recommended

(06:41):
because they had a lot ofparishioners up there, they knew
that space fairly, fairly well,and so I decided to um solid
lead and I went up there for myknee, and so now I'm up to the

(07:06):
elf of my hip, but they havestable Wi-Fi, so I'll be able to
record up on there, so thatshould be good, but the go date
is um January 12th, and I willbe out for a good six weeks

(07:34):
becoming um slash in rehab slashphysical therapy.
So you guys won't see me for youwill see me on and off, you will
see me in rehab, but you won'tsee me at the initial recovery

(07:57):
um in the hospital.
