However, the following day after her hip replacement, Emily admitted she was in a lot of pain and she attempted to get up from her hospital bed and try walking. "I got up and walked to a chair. Not going to lie. The pain is way worse than I anticipated," the mother of three wrote below a video of herself limping.

I’m nervous, but beyond excited about finally being able to move pain free. The new Emily can’t wait to run, jump, workout, walk a catwalk and dance!! #rhoc."
