I’m going to be honest with y’all: I’m going into the procedure a little disheartened. I was so hopeful before my surgery that once I had it, I could move forward, but now I’m having the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life. I have barely been able to work, and blogging has been hard. I’m exhausted all the time from dealing with the pain, especially this week when I am not allowed to take Advil for a week before a surgical procedure.
Don’t get me wrong. I still believe everything will be OK, and that someday this will all be a distant memory. It’s just hard when I thought that someday would be now. This is probably the most “Debbie Downer” post I’ve ever written, and I feel guilty about that since I’m always talking about positivity, but sometimes being positive is just plain hard. Hopefully I will be singing a different tune in a few days!
PS-I haven’t been able to respond to all of your wonderful comments, but I promise I appreciate them! I will work on responding as soon as I’m recovered from anesthesia.
Hope your surgery is fast and easy and that your recovery is just as easy. Good luck Olya, hope to see you on the blog soon!

ReplyDeleteGood luck!! I hope your recovery is quick and that you are pain free ASAP!
ReplyDeletePraying for you today!!
ReplyDeleteSending you well wishes for a fast recovery!!!
ReplyDeleteSending you prayers and good, healing vibes! Sometimes you just have to complain or vent a little- don't apologize. You're going through some tough stuff! No matter what, you've got this, lady!!
ReplyDeleteHoping after this procedure you'll have less pain! Good luck! I know it's super hard to be positive sometimes, but everyone gets to wallow at some point. I believe it can be good for you!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how hard it's been to stay upbeat and positive when you're in so much pain all the time. I'm praying for good results and a positive outcome! I can't wait for you to be feeling better again.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of prayers today! Praying that this procedure works and you can get back to being yourself!
ReplyDeleteBeing positive isn't a requirement and is a bit silly to force on yourself when things are objectively not the way they should be. Don't be so hard on yourself. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Sometimes, I overdo it on trying to be positive all the time.
DeleteMy heart is breaking when friends are in pain. You're in my prayers, Olya! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, sweet Jae! <3

ReplyDeleteOh girl, my heart goes out to you. I'm sorry you're in such pain. I pray the procedure went well and they pain is gone. Take care.
ReplyDeletePrayers for a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you've been in so much pain, and I hope you are already recovering well. I think it's great to focus on the positive, but sometimes you just need to be a Debbie Downer because things suck, and that's perfectly fine too. Honesty is just as important as positivity, and maybe even more so.
ReplyDeleteI hope that everything went well & that you have a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI hope your surgery went well and that recovery will be smooth!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rachel! :)
DeleteI hope your surgery went well and you are recovering quickly! Sending you lots of positive thoughts and hoping all is well.

I hope everything went well on Friday! Don't apologize for being really down about all of this. It has to be one of the hardest things you've ever gone though. Long lasting pain has been proven to cause depression, it's a very real thing to feel as down and miserable as you do.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better than you were Friday! Sending you lots of recovery ribes.
ReplyDeletei know this is late, and i will catch up on your other posts as well, but i do hope all went well and all that. sending you all my happy thoughts and vibes!
