Motivational speaker and author Rachel Kolisi has shared insights into her recovery after undergoing shoulder surgery.
She initially mentioned her hospitalization and later confirmed that the procedure took place on Monday, May 18.
In an Instagram Stories update, Rachel provided what she referred to as a light-hearted “proof of life” message while resting at home.
“I thought I would do a proof of life video… and I also thought it would be best to do a video when I was off pain medication. Just to ensure nothing interesting comes out of my mouth,” she said jokingly.
Rachel noted that one of the hospital images she shared might have seemed more serious than she intended.
She clarified that the photo was meant to showcase a tender moment with her children who were taking care of her during her recovery.
“All is well… I’m going to attempt a shower today. I had a shoulder operation on Monday (last week) and I’m really sorry that I put that second picture that I put on my post because it does look way more dramatic than what it needed to be but I was just trying to show that the kids were doing a facial for me so I was trying to show something sweet,” she explained.
The mother of four also spoke about the support she has received from family and friends since the surgery.
In a Reel shared on Instagram, Rachel articulated that the past week has been tough but expressed appreciation for the help she and her family have received.
“Obviously not ideal. But is what it is. Made it through the first week post op, only because I have the most amazing people around me. So grateful for every call, lift, message, meal, kids pick up, homework and and and.. THANK YOU. We move 💪🏼♥️.”
