Today is 6 weeks post op! I should be healed, right? Wrong! The physical limitations and the mental
Today is 6 weeks post op! I should be healed, right? Wrong! The physical limitations and the mental scars are still very fresh. I have not had a pain free day in over 6 weeks, my emotions are up and down. My emotions range from anger, anxiety, depression, eating disorder thoughts/urges fear (of my health and my future), sadness, self love/hate, and everything in between. Even though there’s a lot of negativity in there I’m still remaining more positive than negative because I don’t like feeling negativity and combatting my thoughts (not invalidating how I feel) is a battle of its own. I practice self love by nourishing my body, by taking walks in the rain like I did today just to get fresh air and get moving, by taking longer showers because it feels amazing, by following up with as many doctors I need to for my health. I know this will be a long journey, I know my new “normal” will be nothing from prior to my surgery and I’m okay with that as I love the person I’ve become and the future me I have yet to meet as I know I will be stronger than ever #mastectomy #postop #breastcancer #survivor #recovery #fightlikeagirl #bopo #bodypositivity #loveyourself #ednos #edwarrior #prorecovery #positivevibes #positivity #fuckcancer #selflove https://www.instagram.com/p/BnKQUTVFOxY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pa1ziyiy2oy9 -- source link
