Gary 's Guestbook

Hello Gary I saw your post and wanted to wish you the best on your upcoming surgery. I agree that the waiting is extremely hard and it’s difficult not to think of many what if scenarios. I hope you’re able to have some respite from your worries. There will be a lot of people thinking of you and wishing you well. I’m in the process of waiting for surgery in October so I understand your concerns. You’ll do great

Hi Gary I was active and my surgery was pushed up as well.  The best part is when you trust your doctor and feel comfortable.  It’s a lot to take in but you seem to have a great attitude.  Being active prior helps.  I wasn’t able to read through all the advice but this group has outstanding support and answers.  It’s a saving grace for me in my recovery.  I didn’t even know about this website until after . I think your surgery is tomorrow so best of luck .  Put stuff down with in reach no lifting up your arms , recliner chair and most important advice don’t watch Informercials they start making sense if you can’t sleep.  I was able to walk when I got home just learn how to ask for help and rest when you need to.  Be your own advocate.  You won’t be able to drive so line up rides .  Everybody’s journey is different so listen to your body and it’s okay to slow down while healing
