Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 1,004 | I agree with David. The mental part is very hard and not discussed buy the surgeons at all. I have been dealing with anxiety and am starting to feel better.
I'm so happy to hear you have a good support system. I do too and it makes our lives so much easier. I often think it's easier to the patient.
Stay strong and take it one day at a time. It always has a way of getting better.
