Every person heals at a different rate.
The speed at which you recover is dependent on your age, general level of health, overall physical fitness prior to surgery, and your mental attitude. It is not unusual to feel tired and discouraged for several days following surgery. Do not let these feelings get in the way of your recovery. Develop a positive mental attitude by concentrating on the progress you make, and continue to make in the future. Recovery is a slow process.
