What's good and what's not good

It's a well known fact that no matter what event is taking place, when you're in need of focus and concentration, the last thing you need is stress. Sometimes the event itself can carry stress of it's own and any added frustration is just not healthy.

Surgery and recovery obviously comes with plenty of stress and worry of its own... so to have any outside annoyances is completely unnecessary and detrimental to a good and productive recovery. Unfortunately, for me it comes with the territory of dealing with family. I don't know why or how, but the ones that should be there for you the most... sometimes lack and make it difficult. What some people, whether friends or family, don't understand is how unwanted and third party stress can negatively affect a sickly person. The other day I was just out of my mind with the nonsense people bring to my door, it had me in such a miserable fit, that my whole body ached. Not just my leg, but my shoulders, my head, my back. I had such a fitful sleep, tears and all.

Word to the wise.... Be sure that when you are going under any medical procedure or ordeal in general, that you eliminate any possible cause of stress or anything added that is absolutely unnecessary. You, as the patient, need to be clear minded and calm, relaxed and concentrated on the task of getting well. Not down under! Remove any sources that could bring you depression. It's simply not healthy and not what your battle should indetail. At the end of the day, it's about my well-being. My capability to continue on with the struggles of my own life. Whatever God may allow to come my way. Any negative and mal-intented words or actions, are not welcomed. Those fights and battles are just a foolish waste to time.

Be healthy, be good, be wise, and let recovery take you to a better place where a stronger you awaits!
