This website has been created to help you see that you're not the only person who has had a difficult time dealing with the demands of recovery. When I had my surgeries I had many ups and downs. Sometimes it felt like I was all alone. Since then I have realized that I have more support then I could ever imagine. Sure, I have the support of my family and friends. However, most of my support comes from things that should have been discussed with me by my healthcare team. It was not until years after my first surgery that I figured out how to successfully use other support systems. I have had many surgeries. Most people who have surgeries throughout their lifetime only have one or two. They never get a chance to discover the secret to surgical recovery.
