サッシャ・ディギーリアンさんのインスタグラム写真 - (サッシャ・ディギーリアンInstagram)「I started this year on a lingerie campaign for @agentprovocateur in Mallorca, presented a trailer at Sundance for a new film my production company is producing, and I went on a 2 week speaking tour across the UK. I climbed outside in Spain, filmed a commercial for @bentleymotors and I got ready for a big project I had in March. All the while, my hips continued to keep me up at night, aching with a deep, dull pain that got sharp and unavoidable at times. I kept moving, but the Universe seemed to be sending me all the signals to slow down. A friend and team member of my expedition had a tragic accident. I returned from Mexico to the US; distraught, confused, lost. I got an MRI on my hips, learning the chronic, mounting pain I had been experiencing over the year was due to hip displaysia and shredded labrums. I learned I was on the brink of needing a hip replacement if I kept going over the next few months, so I opted for the PAO and Scope surgeries on both sides of my hip to conserve my career and to take care of the crippling pain I was experiencing. These 4 surgeries included 2 10 hour open hip surgeries in which my pelvic bone was broken in 4 places, my femur head shaved down, and my hips reconstructed. - All the while, that little thing called Covid... - I learned my love for cooking, I deepened my bond with my partner, and I was finally in one place for longer than a couple weeks, to really experience the meaning of community where I live. And, we welcomed my new best friend and floof master @moosechaga to the family. - There has been a lot that I haven’t been able to do this year, but at the same time, there has been a lot that I have been able to learn, grow from, and discover about myself. - I was given the opportunity to sharpen my own understanding of who I am beyond climbing; a sport that has been my life since I was 6. The stillness and the stripping of travel from my otherwise chaotic schedule enabled me to understand Home. And, the mental and physical challenge of building purpose to my life when the very sense of it was gone - was a new lesson. - 2020 wasn’t one for the books, but I am grateful for what it taught me. Here’s to 2021 💞」12月29日 3時00分
