Post surgery hormonal changes don’t get talked about enough. This week on The Medical Detectives we also talk about how that hurry up and wait feeling that happens post surgery.

Puzzleing has been a great coping skill for me because it encourages to move my arms post surgery in a safe way that I don’t have to think about. It’s satisfying to see a puzzle come to life; I get a dopamine hit putting that last piece in. surgery selfcare feelings LTKPlusSize LTKWatchNow LTKHome
