Book Description

July 7, 2005
Simply Successful Surgery is a compassionate, easy-to-use guide for patients and their caregivers. Drawing on her experience as a surgical nurse, educator and administrator, the author shows readers how to use the principles of holistic healing to move through an invasive, conventional procedure with confidence.

§ Learn which foods will prepare you for successful surgery and healing.
§ Use the power of your mind to release anxiety and help your body heal faster.
§ Prepare your home to make recovery easier and more effective.
§ Discover how laughter and play can promote healing.
§ Navigate easily through the medical system—get the best possible care, and have your wishes honored.
§ Know exactly what to expect every step of the way.

Simply Successful Surgery will give you the knowledge you need to make real choices about your treatment. As a result, having surgery can lead to deep healing for body, mind and spirit.

“‘Going in for surgery....’ Those words strike terror in most people’s hearts. Yet this book, by a woman who spent many years as a surgical nurse, demystifies the surgical experience, telling us how to prepare ourselves emotionally, physically and spiritually. The information is grounded, realistic, and, above all, highly effective. This is a must read for anyone facing surgery. Not only do we learn about presurgery preparation but we also learn how to encourage a positive, upbeat atmosphere during the procedure, when we presumably would not be conscious. Similarly, the post surgical processes the author offers are easy and effective, shortening surgical recovery time and making it much more comfortable.”

~Hal Zina Bennett, writing coach, co-author of The Well Body Book
