Who Has Some Inspirational Recovery Stories?

[Guest guest]

I think we can all benefit from knowing that there is light at the end of the

surgery tunnel

and that almost always the recovery is slower than what we anticipate/hope.

I've often wondered why doctors don't provide/refer us to more psychological

counseling

pre-surgery, so that we are better prepared for slow days or months, rather than

being

mentally knocked down by them.

Personally, I had a THR in 2005 and every day,for two years, when I stood on my

new hip and

bent forward,I mentally (and physically) cringed at the crackling -slash

-grinding

that my MIND expected to feel.

I had to mindfully force myself through a bigger range of motion to break this

mental

limitation. Through yoga, meditation and breathing exercises, I worked through

it.

Does anyone out there have some inspiring stories of recovery breakthroughs

during

recovery? Let's have it
