Oh sorry to hear that, I’m sure all will be well try to keep a positive outlook. Sending much love, light always!

 I actually have a pre & post-op protocol that I had planned to share in the resources for this month but seeing that you need it sooner rather than later, here are some suggestions that can help:

Pre Surgery:
• Support immunity prior to surgery with Vitamin D, Vitamin A, zinc, and probiotics. Even if not started prior to surgery, these can certainly be added post-surgery to assist with wound healing and infection avoidance. One week after surgery, a person can begin the anti-inflammatory remedies again like omega-3, evening primrose oil, curcumin, bromelain, etc (unless there are issues with poor wound healing).

Immediately after surgery (for the first week or so): 
• Maximize the nutrient gained from liquids (e.g. green juice, protein smoothie, soups, pureed stews, etc). This minimizes the digestive effort required and allows the body to put its energy into healing. 

• In terms of lifestyle, I recommend that clients do whatever is necessary to sleep soundly (ex. sleep in a separate bedroom, wear earplugs, take 1-3 mg melatonin at night, pets/kids away from bedroom, etc); there is no better healing activity than a sound sleep. 

• Since surgery is very stressful for the body, avoid all stressful circumstances/conversations for a while after the surgery. I often recommend distractions like comedy movies or recordings. Post-surgery is also an excellent time to begin a meditation practice; a guided meditation app, CD or book can be helpful to get her started.

• Also, since a patient will be given a number of medications to prevent post-surgery complications, supporting the liver like Integrative Therapeutics Detoxification Factors or Pure Encapsulations Liver-G.I. Detox, can help mitigate the effects of the meds which need to be detoxified from the body. And take them for as long as they’re on meds. Just check with docs to make sure no contraindications!
• And some love for your gut: bone broth and/or a product that can help heal your gut lining. I like GI Revive (comes in capsules or powder form)

Visualize a successful and uneventful surgery! Wishing you the best of luck and an effective recovery. Please keep us posted on how it all goes. We’ll be praying for you.

Hey ,

I can only add to Bernadette’s excellent tips that I feel you. I once broke my foot and it needed to be operated and it scared the living daylight out of me.

I was conscious during the operation, but the ones who performed the operation were really making me feel like they were doing this type of operation every day all day.

They were evening joking with me!

I know how scary such a thing can be, but you have got this!

I wish for you your doctors will give you the same feeling that I had. Once you had the operation, let us know how you have experienced it. And perhaps you can tell us more about the type of fracture you had. Maybe we can also advise you in your rehabilitation process.

For now, good luck!

 I’m glad your surgery went better than expected. Please let us know if we can help in any other way.
