Communication is key! Keep a pen and paper handy becuase it will occasionally be painful or hard to speak. Try not to panic and reassure yourself that healing is a process. It's all temporary. Book a follow-up appointment the same week if you're hypochondriacal or stressed about the unknowns of recovery.
Take care!
