"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," she continued before humorously declaring, "No one recovers from surgery like he does, he’s not real."

Pink listed the many things Hart did to make her life easier during that brutal first week, telling fans he "brought me coffee in the shower, lugged around my 100 pound CPM [continuous passive motion] 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."
