Recovery

Recovery is more important than anything. Its what determines how you get back to your own life. How you wake up in the morning, how you go to work and meet friends and how you do your daily chores and activities. It's not only the body which needs to recover, but the psyche and the "whole being." Recovery includes the way you think about your "recovery." It's how you interpret some irks about post-surgical healing...little sharp pain there (Oh no! Is there something wrong?)...little numbness there (is this permanent?)...pins & needles (its just part of healing, but am I sure?). There is fear in this, fear of losing what you have...that's before signing the consent form finally...and fear of not being able to cope with all these healing issues.

The kind of surgery determines the result, but as long as it is done correctly, then you don't have anything to worry about. So, is surgery more important? Regardless if the surgery was correctly done and the result is awesome, recovery can still dictate how you will be able to carry-on everything. It determines if you can deal with it, or if your body can take what it has undergone. It still dictates how you progress everyday, and somehow it really becomes a learning experience for the patient and doctor.

Tincture of time dictates the success of any recovery, lets just leave it to that. Not that you can do something in between; and knowing when, is part of what you've paid for in the first place
