My Mother lost most of her amniotic fluid

at 20 weeks in her pregnancy.

I was born full term.

 I was born with congenital dysplasia of the hips, right knee, and feet

– as well as other joints.

My right leg was twisted around my neck.

Surgical reconstruction began at 6 months.

My body is a dynamic testament,

actualized visions,

the blooms,

of remarkable creative medical genius.

My life story has been a unique,

treasured story of collaboration

catalyzed by my

congenital complicated complex orthopedic equation

met with

the pioneering creative genius of orthopedic surgeons

and

physical therapists.

My story is an improvisational story

steeped in abiding trust;

tuning fork of recognition;

moral courage;

sacred listening;

mutual dedication;

the divinity of the brilliant light in creative genius;

and

RADICAL HOPE.

ALL of my toe joints were congenitally dislocated.

Yes, they looked like a lioness’ clawed paws.

On 27 December ,

TWO days ago,

Dr. Coetzee reconstructed each toe!

I was prepared to meet the post-operative pain

and

prevail through the 8 weeks of recovery.

My ensemble of friends are remarkable templates of character

– as are my selected orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists!

They all know I am a RISE UP action figure

– NOT a potato chip planted/stuck onto a sofa.

TEAM – GOODNESS OF FIT!
