Healing and Recovering From a Surgical Procedure
Going in for a surgery can be a scary experience. Even a basic surgery can bring out feelings of anxiety that can be hard to control and hard to manage.
If you are feeling anxious about a surgery that you know you are going to have to undergo, there are ways that you may be able to manage your anxiety. Start by talking openly with your doctor about any anxiety that you are having concerning your surgery.
This care usually only dulls the pain, not heal it. Runners, for instance, can run for months on a throbbing knee. They learn the best ways to apply pressure and ice it to ease the inflammation, but the rigors of the season don't allow it to heal entirely with proper rest. Instead, they go at it again the next day and work feverishly after training to dull the pain again.
After you understand what you are to expect for your surgery, do not be afraid to start preparing as early as possible. You may want to change eating or exercise habits that you have to ensure that your body is in the best shape possible for your surgery.
Following your last race of the season, begin your offseason immediately. Excluding a few warm-down exercises to aid healing after your last intense workout, you should stop working out entirely for at least a week or two.
Getting your home ready for your recovery can be very important. People will occasionally come home from their surgery and do not realize how difficult their everyday activities will become throughout the time that they are working on healing.
Cleaning your home and putting clean sheets on your bed can help you feel more comfortable if you are going to need to recover in your bed. Prepping food for yourself before you go into surgery can help you eat healthy foods once you are healing.
Read a book, start a blog or build a company. Start working on a hobby that isn't exercise related to pass your time. Find something that you've been longing to do, but didn't have time for before and get to work. You may only have a few weeks to concentrate on it, but it will help you pass the time while your body heals.
The length of time you should rest is dependent on your needs. If your body needs a lengthy time to rest, then give it a couple more weeks and see where you're at then. Do come back to exercising though. Don't get back into proper training again until the season starts, but do easy, fun exercises with people that will get your body going again.
Participate in GSM exercises. Do enough to stay active, but not enough to strain your body. Following these steps will get you ready for the coming training season better than any intense workouts could have done during this time. You will likely come back stronger and healthier than last year, ready for another great year.
Should you experience severe anxiety, it is important that your doctor understands so that he or she can help you through your anxiety. Do not be afraid to express these emotions and feelings to ensure that they are worked out as well as possible before you head in for your surgery.
