Six months after moving from the UK to Perth, Australia, I underwent bilateral tibial tubercle transfer surgery — on both knees, at the same time. In this video, I share my honest, unfiltered journey through this major orthopedic procedure, from pre-surgery nerves to post-op recovery, rehab, and learning to walk again.
Moving to the other side of the world was already a big life change, but having major knee surgery so soon after relocating added a whole new layer of challenge. I talk through what the surgery involved, how I coped without close family nearby, what recovery was like physically and emotionally, and the unexpected upsides of healing in sunny Perth.
If you’re considering tibial tubercle transfer surgery — or doing something hard away from home — I hope this gives you both insight and reassurance.
Ask me anything in the comments — I’ll do a full Q&A at a later date with the most asked questions!
