Truth is like surgery. It hurts but it cures. A lie is like a painkiller. It gives instant relief but has side effects forever. Post op spinal neck surgery - I’m so thankful to say I am pain free after months of unhealthy over the counter pain meds and look forward to a quality life again. Huge shout out to orthopedic surgeon extraordinaire Dr Ettiene Coetzee and the incredible staff at @faerieglenhospital ????
