Rachel,
Welcome, and I’m so sorry you are here. Lesley gave some good advice. I would add that it does get easier. My surgery was only 3 months ago, and I am doing so much better. When things got dark and difficult I leaned on faith, friends, and family.
To navigate the site, you can begin by reading the “Tips and Tricks” and other items on the top bar. Scan the “Welcome” and “Recovery” posts. Then look through the interesting topic threads.
Good healing,
Eileen
