Preparing for surgery can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with the emotional toll of multiple procedures. Many community members find it helpful to prepare comfortable recovery spaces, arrange support for daily tasks, and connect with others who understand this journey. The anxiety is completely understandable, and sharing these feelings with this supportive community can provide valuable insights and encouragement from those who've walked similar paths.

Robyn, very difficult indeed. There is power and benefit in scripture and prayer. Best wishes.

I would definitely recommend having a recliner chair.

A good therapist can also be helpful. It is a good place to be able to unload in a non-judgmental environment with positive support.
