Hi Kate,
I'm in a somewhat similar situation - 10 days post-op with an oncology appointment lined up.
I had an insight today about what resilience will mean for me. I see that it is a rocky road ahead and I'll be knocked down often. I seem to get unsteady and sad after every appointment. But then I lift again.

Wishing you well on this journey. I hope you find the support and love that will help you pick yourself up as often as you need to.
