I feel so bad for her. Every single time someone brings up the surgery, she just starts tearing up... worrying about this and that. She’s always been the type to jump in and handle everything herself because she didn't have the patience to wait for my dad to help move a sofa or something. I really want to comfort her, but I'm honestly not sure how to go about it.
My mom is 62 and needs surgery to repair a bladder prolapse using mesh. The doctors told her the recovery is going to be long and that it's a complicated procedure. They also mentioned she won't be able to lift anything heavier than about 5 pounds after the surgery—though maybe I’m exaggerating that bit slightly. She’s pretty devastated because she’s normally so active and always on the go, so the idea of being limited like this is hard for her. What hurts most is knowing she won't be able to pick up her grandkid or play around with them like she used to.
Has anyone here gone through something similar, or does anyone know what the actual day-to-day life looks like during recovery? Thanks to everyone who takes the time to reply.
Just taking a peek and checking things out... downtown has some decent stuff, some high-end items too, and you can find all sorts of things at okay prices.
