Healing requires mind and body. You have the power to direct healing with your thoughts. Find books on meditaton and healing techniques. Perhaps engage in Qi Gong or Tai Chi practices. Learn how to relax your body and visualize the healing taking place.
Avail yourself of energy healing techniques such as acupuncture, Reiki, massage, gentle yoga. Choose your caregivers carefully and allow them to assist you in your healing journey. If possible get someone at home to help with shopping, meals and househld task.
Imagine what your body will be going through. It will be shocked and horrified at what has happened and it will be poisoned by anesthetics and pain medications. Honor this and love, encourage and reassure yourself as you heal. Don't fear pain but view it as healing energy.
