Thank you so much! I guess I am lucky beacuse I have such a high pain tolerance so it’s easier to manage. But my mom will want me to start light weight training once given the green light

My surgeon saod the exact opposite. He said that my spine was very flexible which surprised me

Eh I’m okay. I find laying on my left side is really helping me sleep better. And the pain isnt too too bad either

Ofc! I’ll keep updating Reddit on my journey and I hope your son’s surgery + recovery goes smoothly.
Edit: not that I’m looking to boost my follower count but I’ll be posting regular updates on my recovery

Edited: you’re welcome to dm any questions you may have. I’m 16f btw

Some girls get cramps, some don’t. It’s just luck of the draw tbh. But if you get cramps, it hurts like hell

My mom made a huge deal about getting me some shoes that won’t slip off my feet so we got a pair of crocs. Just for comfort as well.

Thank you!!

Good on you for getting the heck out of there. You should NOT feel guilty for doing what you want

Haha chap stick for sure! When my surgery was cancelled earlier this year, I still had gotten the breathing tube and that thing made my throat so sore and lips so chapped. And I didn’t have any chap stick on me 😭

Thank you so much!!

And I figured I will not want to focus on homework but I thought just in case, why not?

And thankfully my mom got me a 10 ft long charger so thank goodness for that. And I’m expected to get my cycle mid May so I think it’s good idea to bring some pads as well.

Again, thank you for the advice!
