We feel so bad for Pink right now, as the 42-year-old singer shared an emotional social media post detailing her “brutal” recovery from the hip surgery she had to undergo. We had no idea it was that bad! In her lengthy Instagram post, which she posted on Wednesday, November 17th, the “Raise Your Glass” singer thanked the medical team who performed the surgery and took care of her, as well as her devoted husband – 46-year-old former professional freestyle motocross competitor, Carey Hart – and her children for also doing their part in her recovery.

“Hey world! This is what 9 hours of sleep and cuddles from my kiddos looks like 7 days post hip surgery!! I have to say thank you to everyone at The Steadman Clinic in Vail and Dr. Philippon for taking such good care of me,” the mom-of-two‘s IG post, which has already received over 555,000 likes, began. “Because I’m married to an athlete who has hundreds of surgeries, I get to meet some of the world’s greatest doctors. I am never not completely grateful.”

She continued: “It was a brutal first week full of tears and pain med depression, ulcers from meds and constant fevers, but my @hartluck brought me through. (No one recovers from surgery like he does, he’s not real.) he brought me coffee in the shower, lugged around my 100 pound CPM contraptions every where I went, dried my tears, cooked me oatmeal, kept track of my meds, got me my phone charger, plugged in my compression machines, took my temp, made the bed, and talked me off the ledge.” Wow, Hart is definitely a keeper! And this proves what we always suspected – that he and Pink are the epitome of couple goals!

Pink didn’t end things there, as she said that this experience taught her to count her blessings, and also mentioned some of the “incredible” people she met through her latest “challenge.” Her post continued: “Already figured out some tricks on these crutches I’m on for six weeks,,, yada yada yada…. But!!!!! Life always reminds you that most setbacks are actually just pauses and opportunities to recalibrate and count your blessings. Because of this challenge, I happened to meet a woman with cerebral palsy who summits 13,000 ft mountains in her chair, (check out her documentary called “from my window” on Vimeo, she’s incredible) I learned about a blind man that summits Mt Everest.”

"It is humbling for a very independent person like myself to be rendered physically unable and dependent, even if for a couple of months. I’m learning the gift of accepting help. My journey will be quick and intentional. And I will make a full recovery. For that I am so blessed. I’m impressed by those that face real, hard challenges, and alchemize their situation into something magical, or meaningful. In the meantime, shout out to all of those on the journey to wellness, and to those making magic out of the impossible. Have a great day folks!!!!! Let the healing begin."

As you can imagine, her comments section was filled with messages from well-wishers, including a few famous faces too! Mandy Moore wrote, "Sending you all the healing vibes and love!!!" followed by four red heart emojis, while Selma Blair commented, "Major recovery love to you!!!!!" Blair also commented again, this time adding: "And I am so sorry for the pain and horrible nights. If anyone can master recovery, it is you," followed by a yellow heart emoji. Another fan said that Pink's message was "Beautifully said," and added, "thank you [for] sharing and being a constant reminder that the world is just not black and white but a canvas [of] radiant colors." Another fan couldn’t help but sing her husband's praises, and jokingly urged the singer to always remember how well he had taken care of her. "He's a keeper. Remember this 6 months from now when he does something man-like," the comment read. Get well soon, Pink!
