Post Surgery

[Julie_z]

Does anyone have any post surgery recovery advice? My anxiety has been amazingly calm; I think due to having faced a big fear. However, today has been rough. Both my kids are ill; one with strep the other flu. I am a single parent & haven’t been able to follow the recovery guidelines. I do find myself anxious at this moment thinking what if but honestly I’m so exhausted and really feel like who gives a ****. My goodness... A little insight would be greatly appreciated!

Well that sounds familiar as well, ...

I'm guessing your kids are younger, but you may be surprised at what they can help with... try to get as much rest as you can, I'm not sure what surgery your recovering from... I know it must be challenging

Yep, I’ve been having them help me with simple chores etc. It’s actually been a great experience for them & myself, as I’ve gotten to see how much they care for me. My boys are 6&7.

I had surgery and my post surgery it seem like i didnt have anxiety and the dizziness and heavy head disapeared until the healing of my surgery started like two weeks post surgery thats when it all came back..so i think its because of the pain and the meds that took the mind of the anxiety..mind playin triks
