Therefore, I want to see you again in our intimate conversations on various topics. In this regard, I sincerely wish that the operation goes as well as possible and that you recover quickly!
If you don’t worry and manage to suppress stress, everything will grow on you like a dog. I wish your will to come together into a fist! Let everything be as it should be. Let's break through!
I look forward to your exciting stories about dreams under anesthesia. Don’t deprive me of such an adventure... try to remember everything you dream about. I'll be burning with curiosity while I wait for you to return from the operating table. I wish you to remain as curious as always, and even be inquisitive even under anesthesia. I'm with you!
I know that you have plans, goals, dreams and ambitions. I know that you have already outlined ways for yourself to achieve all this. I wish you that your main companion and guide on the path to everything planned will return to you and never leave you again. With him, nothing is scary and everything is achievable. Of course this is health.
Well done for taking the plunge! I will follow your example when the time comes to surrender to the doctors. I’ll be waiting for your call tomorrow and your invitation to go fishing (to the cinema, to dinner, to the dacha, to pick mushrooms, etc.). Let your luck smile on you especially dazzlingly on the day of the operation!
Try not to give in to sadness and despair, or anger at the disease, because only a positive mood and a strong spirit will drive away your illness. If you need my help, just let me know, I'll be there in no time.
Let your doctors show all their skills, and let you show all your optimism, patience and resilience. Be lucky! I will pray for you and for a successful outcome of the operation.

Tell your health not to let you down again. And also tell the diseases: “You can’t wait, you creatures!” And get well soon. Get better with all your might. I ask you very much and look forward to this bright day even more than you yourself. I will ask God, higher powers and guardian angels to keep you healthy. I miss you so much.
Make me a list of books, I will download them all for you, so that the postoperative period will be useful. Better yet, ask your doctor what you can read that is good for your health. I wish you not only to sleep and relax, but also to spend your time productively, with benefit for yourself and your health. Let the time spent within these sterile walls not be in vain!
You are an amazing person and even if you are unhealthy, you still brighten up my life. Even now, you know how to be a great friend and find the strength to support not only yourself, but also me. But still... please be healthy. After all, then we will also be able to drink beer, eat chips, pick up girls and enjoy this life to the fullest. Get well soon!
Do you remember, I always wished you all the best and high-class... A carriage of wealth, happiness, love, success, a beautiful career, the best partner in life, first-class friends, first-class housing and a luxury car. Ah, I remembered... I also wished you a fabulous housewarming, magical travels and exciting adventures... And now you are sick and I see that all this is worth nothing without health. So, now I will only wish for you.
I have always admired your courage, and I know you are strong! It's normal to feel anxious before an upcoming surgery, just don't think you can't handle it. Think of this operation as a simple procedure. You will fall asleep for a while, and when you open your eyes after the anesthesia, I want to be the first person you see. I believe that everything will be fine!
I sincerely wish you good health, and that all this hell will end as soon as possible. Let's get better together: you tell your sores to get out of you. And I will pray to all gods for you and your recovery. Together we will break through! You will see!

How can I help prepare for surgery mentally?

The patient's family can support him or her before surgery in the following ways:

Help you focus on positive information . Many people are in a panic looking for information about their upcoming surgery on the Internet. It’s even worse when relatives do this with them, increasing the general fear. Of course, on the Internet they find terrible stories about complications, surgical supplies forgotten by doctors in the patient’s body, etc. If the patient has already read a lot of such passions, then it is necessary to explain to him that this negative information is only a small part of the overall picture. The vast majority of people who have successfully undergone surgery simply will not write about it on the Internet and will return to their usual activities. Of course, there is risk in such a business. But a person often becomes fixated only on waiting for an unsuccessful outcome of the operation, the probability of which is much lower;
The right ways to get distracted . Usually the entertainment function in the room is performed by the TV, but it quickly gets boring. The patient’s hand involuntarily reaches for the smartphone, and the first point is repeated when the patient again reads medical forums with terrible stories. Psychologists recommend that relatives bring books to the ward. There is no such person who cannot be captivated by literature. A woman over 40 will probably like a romance novel, a man who is a hunter will be interested in books about weapons, etc. A paper book is better than an electronic one, which patients read from a smartphone. In the latter case, the screen backlight causes strain on the eyes and nervous system, which will not allow you to fully relax;
Conversation with doctors . Patients are often embarrassed to ask doctors to tell them in detail about the upcoming operation . They feel that they are distracting doctors from important matters. In this case, the patient’s relatives should ask the surgeon and anesthesiologist for a consultation. Many specialists will readily take a few minutes to answer the patient’s questions. Again, it is better for the patient’s family to be nearby during the consultation. This way they will be able to ask what the patient will forget out of excitement.

On the day of surgery

Remove jewelry, contact lenses, dentures, makeup, and piercings, especially from the face and surgical area.
Take a hygienic shower, paying attention to the surgical area, groin, and axillary areas. It is possible to take a shower in the Clinic room immediately before the operation.

If the operation is performed using local anesthesia, you will be able to go home within 2-3 hours after the operation. In the case of general anesthesia (anesthesia), as a rule, on the next day. If necessary, according to indications, your stay in the clinic can be extended.

Your relatives can call you by phone to find out about the completion of your operation. They will be given information if you indicate them in your informed voluntary consent.

Important! The clinic guarantees complete confidentiality and non-disclosure of patient personal data.

Communication as the best method of support

The more often a patient communicates with family and friends before surgery, the lower his level of anxiety. Even introverts become more talkative during such a difficult period for themselves.

You can communicate on any topic, the main thing is not to touch on the possible unpleasant consequences of the operation.

Often the patient listens with interest to news about events that he missed while he was in the hospital. For example, that his child has a new teacher at school. It seems like a trifle, but the discussion can last quite a long time and arouses keen interest.

Relatives should focus on the opportunities that open up after the operation. For example, a herniated disc will need to be removed. In this case, it is worth dreaming with the patient about how he will soon be able to forget about the bothersome pain, do household chores, try skiing, etc.

If the excitement is off the charts

People with an excitable nervous system cannot pull themselves together, even if they know for sure that the operation will not be difficult and there is every chance of a quick recovery. In this case, relatives do not always manage to calm them down, and sometimes their words irritate the patient.

Don't get angry in response. If a person has not yet gone to the hospital and he spends the time before the operation at home, then it is better to advise him to go to a psychologist. A specialist will be better able to select the appropriate words that may not always come to the minds of family and friends.

In difficult cases, when the patient suffers from insomnia and a full-fledged neurosis is brewing, one cannot do without the help of a psychotherapist. He will provide not only psychological support, but will also write a prescription for sedatives.

Reduced anxiety

Not only the person who is sick, but his entire family faces psychological problems. Anxiety levels increase due to increased expenses, changes in daily routine, social status, feelings of helplessness and fear.

Such emotions are natural, so you shouldn’t ignore them, it’s better to learn how to deal with them correctly. To improve the condition of the patient and his relatives, it is recommended:

Keep a personal diary or get distracted by paper books.
Voice your emotions or show them with gestures when no one is watching.
Exercise regularly, because during this a person focuses all his attention on the body.
Use gadgets less or turn off notifications that constantly distract you.
Solve problems or engage in creative activities. If the brain is busy with some unusual type of activity, then it directs all its resources to it.
Watch your breathing or practice meditation. If it is difficult to concentrate on this, then stop with breathing exercises.
Leave time for rest even when busy.

Words of encouragement and involvement in the life of a person who has learned about the disease will allow him to understand how much people appreciate him. In this case, even one line or an encouraging picture will lift your spirits and help you gain strength to fight the disease.

How to support a person after surgery?

To help a person feel better mentally after surgery, family and friends should do the following:

Visit it more often . Calls and video calls via Skype cannot replace live communication. Of course, if a person is not feeling well, then the visits should not be long;
Bring cute gifts . Some people think that flowers are best, but this is not true. After surgery, a patient is more vulnerable to allergens, of which there are plenty in flowers. In addition, they take up a lot of space and will quickly wither. It is better to give a photo of them together in a beautiful frame or a box of chocolates (if the patient is allowed sweets after surgery);
Make plans . Agree that soon after discharge you will go together to an amusement park, cinema, etc. The recovering person will look forward to these joyful days.

Supporting a person before and after surgery is not that difficult. The main thing is to show sincerity and lead the patient away from anxious expectations . The more people support him, the greater the chance that he will feel more confident closer to the operation.
