Patreon ONLY AD FREE EPISODE | I Need Surgery, Now I Can't Go Sailing | Episode 303
Life threw us a curveball that we weren't expecting. In this episode, we're sharing the real, unfiltered story of how we're navigating this challenge - from the initial diagnosis to the decision to have surgery at Steamboat Orthopedics.
While I'm dealing with surgery and recovery here in Colorado, Warren continues pushing forward with the galley remodel back in New Zealand. It's a reminder that even when we're on different sides of the world, we face these storms together as a team. Join us as we take you behind the scenes of the surgery day - from the 4 AM drive to the hospital to the incredible care from the medical team.
We even managed to capture some footage from inside the operating room (nothing too graphic!) to give you a glimpse into what an Achilles tendon repair actually involves. This is just another chapter in our 6-year adventure together, and like every challenge we've faced, we're sharing it with you - the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
Your messages and support have already been such a source of strength during this time. Recovery will be a long road, but we're ready for it. This is just another storm, and we know we'll come out stronger on the other side.

Great episode and really sorry to hear you needed surgery. Please take some advice from an older woman who has had several very major surgeries: DO NOT RUSH THE HEALING PROCESS! It is super frustrating being played up when you are as active of a person as you are. I have always been that way too so please hear me when I say, do the physical therapy, don’t try to do things to soon, listen to your body not your heart, do not be pressured to get back on the boat too soon!!! I know a lot of people who have had the same surgeries I’ve had and have suffered from not taking the time to heal. I know you know what I’m saying is true but I also know the pressure you are feeling. Plus when you get older you’ll be thankful you took the healing process slow. I pray for your recovery and look forward to hearing all about your healing experience😘🙏
I’m so sorry for all that you’ve been through. Geeez! At least you will be officially on the mend and back in action soon. PT should be a breeze for a salty sailor like you!
Thanks for the message. Yeah, I have already started PT. One moth post op, and it's more focused on the rest of my body as it has been out of service and out of wack, but I am determined to get back a quickly as possible, however at the same time just take my time to heal right!
So sorry, Erica.. I can’t imagine the pain and frustration.. you’ve got this though- keep your eyes on the horizon. Every new day is a day closer to recovery. Will keep you in thoughts and prayers ❤️🙏🏻
