Why is my Recovery Taking so Long After Surgery? i Feel Like i Should be Better by Now, but i’m Still Struggling. What’s Wrong With me?

First, I want you to know that your feelings are completely valid. Recovery is not a linear process, and it’s okay to feel frustrated or discouraged when things don’t go as planned. Your body has been through a lot, and it needs time to heal at its own pace. Comparing your progress to others’ or to your own expectations can be overwhelming, but remember—everyone’s journey is unique. Be kind to yourself and celebrate even the small steps forward. Rest, follow your doctor’s advice, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support. You’re stronger than you think, and with patience and self-compassion, you’ll get there. You’re not alone in this.
