Some things I learned: don't think that, because you were fit before surgery, that somehow your recovery time will be less than it is for most patients--certain things just take time to heal; second, this is the time to count on others to help you. Don't be getting ahead of yourself! The two most important things right now: rest and physical therapy. Third, if you're in pain, take a painkiller. Don't get all hung up about everyone's concerns about addiction; when you are okay with it, you'll stop taking them. Don't listen to how quickly others got off painkillers or how they never really needed them, etc. Being in pain hinders recovery and makes you depressed. And finally, rest, rest, rest. Oh, did I already say that?Donna Shearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325592307019446868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379438686059934910.post-82695830892544180722017-01-26T13:54:15.361-06:002017-01-26T13:54:15.361-06:00Good luck with your recovery!
