Hi all,
I wanted to ask some of you if you have experienced some comments that resembled mine. I had revision surgery some months ago, and it happens that most people I see nowadays keep telling me that it's so horrible, they do a discusted face when I tell them what was wrong with my back, how the surgery went, etc. Just yesterday, my hairdresser saw me walk and sit more slowly in her chair(and the chair was broken, so no kidding I was cautious and I will be for a while, it's normal for now); and she said to me "what happened? Did they not "fix" you right or you're worse than before???!!!" with an attitude, and I know she didn't mean bad but it discourages me, my emotional state is more fragile than usual, but I'm getting better. I'm in less pain than before the surgery, and I try to remind people that there are people who had worse surgeries than me, some in wheelchairs, etc. I just wanted to ask some of you, if you get negative comments that make you feel bad, wether you've had surgery or not, and how do you deal with it? Sometimes I feel like it's best not to talk about it with people, as they look at me like I'm some weirdo who had three surgeries and they pity me(not all people, but a lot). But most people found out I had surgery from people talking, etc...
Anyways, if you would like to give advice, or share some of your stories, I would appreciate it
