My surgery is six days out and as I try to wrap my brain around it all I am trying to stay focused on my recovery. Just wondered about some of the posts that when describing their recovery at 3+ weeks, Im curious to know what it is that you can do at that point. I know of everything they say not to do but are you cooking dinner, going out to dinner, cleaning house (like dusting or dishes), writing out bills, you know the everyday activities. I just dont know what you mean when you say I am not myself fully for a few or more months. Scarier is the posts that say it takes up to a year in some cases to feel like yourself again. Of course I want to be back to normal as soon as possible but what do you "do" and for how long are you truly not doing anything but resting. Thanks for any advice.
