I LOVE this bit of the journey! The whole of a new life ahead of you. everything you ever wanted for your health and happiness is right there for the taking. Just stick to the guidelines, have faith in the surgery, trust in your ability to get it ‘right’, even when you doubt yourself, and be kind to yourself.
Oh, and the main bit of advice? Do NOT ever, compare yourself to anyone else, regardless of what surgery you are having. We are all so different that it is impossible to make any sort of comparison – a bit like comparing your child’s progress to anyone else’s! If you are too worried, you can get despondent, and if you think you are the dog’s wotsits because it is falling off you, there is a danger of becoming complacent.
This is a whole new way of life:for life. A new, happier, healthier and (please, powers-that-be) longer life.
Like I said – amazing things ahead. Woo Hoo!!!
