Surgery experience....

If you’ve ever had surgery, I'd love to hear how you handled it too so I don't feel alone!

Idk why I’m venting here, probably just bored from bed rest. Idk what else to do other than reading, watching videos, sleeping

I recently had my first surgery, and I’ve been on bed rest since. The operation room was freezing, I was literally trembling. After anesthesia put me to sleep, I woke up feeling extremely dizzy, and the first few hours post-op were hella painful I literally cried. I’ve been discharged and am recovering at home. The painkillers are working for the most part, and the stitches seem to be healing well. But I still don't have the balls to look at the scars for some reasons

That said, I’ve still been feeling a bit anxious and exhausted, even when it comes to simple things like changing the bandage. It wasn’t a major surgery, but not exactly a minor one either. The first few days were really rough, and I think I've been experiencing some mental fatigue
