conv: Getting back into the swing of things after major surgery Around 4 months ago_comma_ I had major surgery that caused me to be immobile for a few weeks. I'm so sorry you had to go through that! What happened? Well_comma_ I had lots of support from my family_comma_ but I felt afraid of getting back into the swing of things for fear of failing. I felt so vulnerable. I'm sure it was a very difficult experience. you must be a really strong person to have gotten through that.
