Episode 95 – Taking on surgery, recovery & caregiving
Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation, and when you live with Multiple Sclerosis, even a “routine” surgery can totally upend daily life.
In this episode of A Couple Takes on MS, we get real and open up on the weeks following Dan’s hernia surgery and how recovery has affected our caregiving dynamic, routines and sense of normalcy.
Just 11 days post-surgery, we share what we feared most, what surprised us, and how preparation, flexibility, and community support have helped us navigate this unfamiliar chapter together.
This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply human as we get into everything that comes with having a routine (yet major surgery) when both people in a relationship are living with MS and serve as each other’s primary caregivers, including:
It’s also a reminder that healing is more than physical. It’s also relational.
Here are the links we referenced that offer depth and insights for our conversation:
An open invitation for you, our listeners
