    I’m waiting for more pain drugs that should make me hella high, so I won’t be anxious then. I didn’t think of the scar lol. I’ve just been telling people I’m gonna be cyborg

      They can help you with pain, nausea, and anxiety through meds. Scar: your surgeon will tell you what scar cream to use when the scar is ready for it. Having to ask for help post-op gets old quickly. But it’s a great way to see who your good friends and family are, and the kindness of strangers! Also, you can pay it forward in the future by giving this information to someone else and helping when someone is struggling! You’re gonna do great!
