Lisa Curry spent a few nights in intensive care following complications from a hip replacement.
The Olympian, 61, shared several images of herself in hospital on Thursday after suffering the injury in Yukon, Canada.
Lisa explained that she had a hip replacement about four weeks ago and spent time in the intensive care unit (ICU) treating low blood pressure.
She was injured last January while husky dog sledding. A slip on the ice caused him to fall and break his hip.
“The huskies got through the ice without a problem, but the sled slipped and continued to slide,” Lisa explained.

She went on to say that sled dogs will “keep going” if you let go of the ropes.
“You can’t let go of the sled because the dogs will keep going,” she said.
“So I held on and held on until I couldn’t anymore and finally fell, holding on to the sled, which immediately braked, so the dogs stopped…and fell on my hip.”
Lisa said her hip had been sore all year, but she initially thought it was muscular.
It was only after a scan that she discovered that her hip had a fracture at the ball joint.

“I couldn’t have surgery before our tours of Europe and the United States, so I lived on painkillers during that 10-week trip,” she said.
Lisa assured that she was on the mend and was starting to swim again, but she also had to learn to walk without a limp after the procedure.
“Learn to walk again without limping, to do simple tasks again. But damn, you don’t realize how many things you take for granted – putting on a sock or underwear is like dressing a wet, wriggling octopus!!
So exhausting,” she said.

She then thanked her husband Mark for “putting up with” her and her daughter, Morgan, who drove her so she could continue working.
Lisa’s fans wished the former Olympian a speedy recovery.
“Get well soon legend,” one fan wrote.
“Oh Lisa, what an adventure this has been for you. Sending you healing vibes, dad just had a hip replacement two weeks ago, seeing his recovery has been so good to see, finally from the pain he was feeling. Lots of love to you,” wrote another.
“A speedy recovery to you Lisa. Sending you my best wishes,” wrote yet another.

It comes after Lisa, who lost her daughter Jaimi three years ago, shared a heartbreaking tribute in September.
“Three years ago, our beautiful daughter Jaimi took her last breath. We all love you and miss you every day. It feels like it was yesterday,” she wrote alongside the photos.
“It’s been a really sad, sad week, where I’ve needed lots of hugs and constantly wiped away tears. I tell myself to breathe, it’s a bad day, not a bad life.
“I need to change this narrative to be more positive and give myself permission to move forward.” Moving forward does not mean letting go. I will never let her go.
‘Am I okay? Yes, maybe, sometimes, no… It depends on the day,” she added.
