Align body, mind, and heart

~ 11|11 Prayers for my surgery ~ I am having left $~ 11|11 Prayers for my surgery ~ I am having left hip surgery tomorrow morning 11|11 to repair a torn labrum and remedy hip impingement. I welcome all prayers and healing vibes. Read on if you care to know the story and swipe right for photos… On Nov 8, 1995 I was riding my bike and was struck by a car. I sustained a multiple compound fracture to my left femur and tibia. I received emergency surgery with rods and pins, and was hospitalized for six days. A year later I had them removed. After the accident, I had 6 weeks of physical therapy and was turned loose. I was very active at the time and just did my best to get my strength and mobility back. Turns out the prognosis (I found out much later) was that I was to limp for the rest of my life… it never occurred to me that I wouldn’t be highly functional. A few years later I was in pain and started massage and chiropractic. And when I started yoga in 1999 I found a truly healing path. Actually, the vinyasa classes I started with and loved injured my body because I was still very imbalanced. When I started to practice Anusara Yoga in 2001, I discovered the healing power of alignment, and along with continued chiropractic and massage (shout to Dr. Craig Aaron, Dr. Camden Clay, and Joey McGlamory), worked through many issues and found myself participating in a never-ending process of healing that inspired me and informed my life’s work. The prognosis at the time of the accident was also future problems to come. In 2012 I tore my left meniscus. My knee had been off for a while and then I did something to injure it in yoga, requiring a repair. The orthopedist (Dr. Tom Myers) told me from what he saw as he scoped my knee that the injury was very old, probably from the time of the accident. He also told me whoever did my surgery post-accident did a perfect job, and it’s very unlikely for that to happen. It was not lost on me that the doctor who attended me after my accident happened to be the best in the Southeast (Dr. Daniel Moye in Athens, GA - I was in college at UGA, 20 years old, at the time of the accident). I felt so much grace to know that. Also, I have had chronic hip flexor pain (continued in comments)$
