Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Teddi Mellencamp is finally out of the hospital following brain cancer surgery. The wellness coach recently gave her fans an update, taking to her Instagram Stories on the car ride home: “16 days and I get to go home! Thank you to all my loves and life savers for getting me to this.”
In the clip, Teddi sang along to Coming Home, and got visibly emotional. Despite going through such traumatic surgery, the reality star and podcaster is looking fantastic.
Teddi Mellencamp’s emotional update comes from home after brain cancer surgery
The All In founder also posted a video of herself walking on a treadmill at home, as she moves forward following her surgery.
“Starting back slow,” she said in the clip. “Obviously, [it’s] very emotional watching your body change from so much medication from the brain tumors. But just trying to remember how grateful I am that I can move my body again.”
“One day at a time,” she added. “I’ll get back to where I wanna be — feeling my best.”
Turning the camera around, Teddi showed the bruises on her swollen arms from all the IVs during her hospital stay.
“Bruising and swelling, but I know I can do this,” she added alongside the clip. “F*ck off tears. I can do hard things.”
Following her time on the treadmill, the mom of three immersed herself in a cold plunge, which many believe can reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery after a workout. Assuring her followers that her doctor okayed the cold plunge in advance, she moved on to the sauna next.
Teddi’s fight is not over
In February, Teddi underwent brain cancer surgery, following weeks of “severe and debilitating headaches.” When the pain became “unbearable,” she finally went to the hospital and was diagnosed with multiple tumors.
“Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date.” But she later reported that “more tumors were removed than expected: 4 in total.”
“This fight is not over, but that round has been won,” she added, expressing gratitude to her medical team.
“Doctors have told her this will be a long-term recovery process,” an inside source told The Sun in February. “The recovery length is dependent on a lot of ‘to be determined’ factors, but doctors have been upfront this could be a years-long battle.”
In October 2022, the wellness coach was diagnosed with stage 2 melanoma (skin cancer). Since then she’s documented her 20+ surgeries on social media. Through it all, Teddi has remained inspiring. We wish her all the best as she continues on in her journey.
