Depending on what surgery you are having, recovery may take many weeks.
Don’t worry if some days go better than others, as this is normal. It can be useful to keep a recovery diary which you can continue after you go home.
Try and get into a routine and get up in the morning at a regular time. A list of daily goals can give structure to your day and help monitor your progress.
Visits and phone calls from family and friends can cheer you up and encourage you to reach your goals. Be careful though that you don’t tire yourself out from too many visitors.
