Hi Courtney, in all honesty I’m not so sure that you would be able to hide it from your dad. My immediate family were all aware that I was getting the procedure done, however I was very conscious of them knowing how much pain I was in – especially my dad. As far as he is concerned, it was my choice to get this done, so I shouldn’t be complaining about the pain and discomfort that I’m in. So far I have absolutely sucked at keeping it quiet! It’s not just the pain that you need to think about either, I’m holding myself differently, walking at a slower pace – there is a lot he could pick up on. My BA was last Thursday and I’m still struggling to do anything normally. Maybe it’s worth talking to your dad about it, surely he’d be more unhappy finding out you’d gone ahead with the procedure without telling him?
I contracted Glandular Fever this time last year, and my immune system took a massive hit. I was ill constantly throughout 2016, and I’m only just feeling recovered. I’m in quite a bit of discomfort, but painkillers and ice packs are helping. I’m very achey, feel quite weak, and I’m exhausted! Constantly feeling like I need a nap. It’s early days, I’m just making sure I’m drinking plenty and eating lots of proteins & veg to aid in recovery.
I hope this helps in some way, feel free to message me if you have any other questions. Good luck! xxx
