I think what some people have a hard time with is that we chose to do this surgery. If we have any other surgery, like emergency surgery, or for a life-threatening issue, we do it, and just take whatever comes. I think because this is something we chose, we opted for, we expect things to be easy. No one heals or recovers from surgery the same way. There are some things that will be similar, but most things will be different. People forget that having any other underlying health issues will also affect how we will recover, how successful we will be, among other things.
This is such an INDIVIDUAL JOURNEY! Stop comparing yourself to ANYONE ELSE! I'm not perfect, I don't want to be, perfection is boring. I'm approaching this journey as a roller coaster ride, there's going to be ups and downs, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, it will even throw me for a loop, but it's still a HELL OF A RIDE!
