Williams-Paisley had the procedure earlier this month at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville.

Now that she is on the road to recovery, she is opening up about the experience.

Instead, Ive been the quietest in the room.

New people Ive met thought I was a shy or reserved person.

Ive felt trapped in my body.

The surgery sounds harrowing, but she noted that MODERN MEDICINE IS MIRACULOUS in all caps.

Williams-Paisley has managed to find a bright side to the ordeal, though.

Ive learned the strength & beauty of silence.

Ive become a serious meditator.

Im deadlifting over a hundred pounds.

Im taking better care of my body.

Im feeling more whole, empowered & joyful.
