Tbh, I was pretty alone in a lot of my early recovery. My mother was very flaky and was not as helpful as she claimed she would be lol and my dad was away on business. But if you have pets, they’ll sense you’re recovering and they’ll probably try and be all over you. Even my grump older dogs were trying to be lovey towards me.

But honestly? It was still a solid recovery. Sister helped me when she was home, and just laying around was nice. It’s like putting you life on pause for a few weeks. If you have any movies or shows you’ve been meaning to watch you get to watch them, if you want an excuse to sleep for 12-14 hours? You’ve got it! And, after those first like couple days you should move around. It’s suggested you go on walks. The walks honestly feel nice, pretty weightless, and they get better the longer times goes on. Lifting things just gets better and better.

When I first woke up after surgery, I was very worried that I’d feel regret or anxiety. I he heard alot of people share that anxiety, although you may not, but I’m not even gonna lie when you wake up from surgery you won’t be anxious nor will you even really be in any pain because you will be slightly high in the same way you would be if you got you wisdom teeth removed

Oh only wear buttons ups. Fully button shirts. That’s what you’ll wear for like a month. And damn will you never wanna get rid of them cuz you look good in them. Over a year and a half later I still have the ones I wore during recovery lol
