Is anyone or has anyone done any special preparation or changes before surgery? I was just remembering my last post surgery recommendations to avoid salt for 6 weeks post. What about pre? Ideally I should probably avoid salt anyway, and eat healthy in general, but any other advise?
I feel very caged in without being able to exercise, which has been my previous activity/stress reliever since January. Now that I have been told to "take it easy" by ALL OF YOU as well as my Drs, I find myself with too much time on my hands to sit and think.
I was going to pick up a new jewelry making hobby, but I seem to have more fun buying the beads than making the jewelry. All I hear is how much being fit affects recovery and results, and at the same time STOP exercise. and DONT stress! This is all very stressful. I actually broke down in tears this morning at work as I told some co-workers that I set a date- which is so out of character for me. When i was 20 and having this (with no kids or spouse) I was so casual about it, and fearless! Ignorance was bliss.
