Motivational speaker and author Rachel Kolisi has shared insights into her recovery after undergoing shoulder surgery.<\/p>\n

She initially mentioned her hospitalization and later confirmed that the procedure took place on Monday, May 18.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram Stories update, Rachel provided what she referred to as a light-hearted \u201cproof of life\u201d message while resting at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought I would do a proof of life video\u2026 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,\u201d she said jokingly.<\/p>\n

Rachel noted that one of the hospital images she shared might have seemed more serious than she intended.<\/p>\n

She clarified that the photo was meant to showcase a tender moment with her children who were taking care of her during her recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll is well\u2026 I\u2019m going to attempt a shower today. I had a shoulder operation on Monday (last week) and I\u2019m 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,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

The mother of four also spoke about the support she has received from family and friends since the surgery.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously 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 💪🏼♥️.\u201d<\/p>\n
