Over the last few weeks, while I’ve been recovering from carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve release surgery, not only have I been healing from the physical pain but I’ve working on myself mentally. I recognized pretty quickly after getting home that I was not in a good place mentally. The freezing cold, snowy weather. The holiday season quickly approaching. Having to celebrate my favourite holiday without my Dad. As well as the physical pain that goes along with having surgery. I had my first panic attack in a very long time, the week after surgery. Thankfully I reached out to an amazing friend and family member who is all too familiar with healing post surgery. She reassured me and reminded me I have strategies in place that I can use and that it was ok to talk to Nurse Amy when I needed to. In less than 3 weeks, Christmas will be over, we will have celebrated our first Christmas without Dad, and I’ll be back to work getting back into my regular routine. This is why I’m prioritizing myself. Both the physical and the mental! Please@remember that you are not alone!
