Surgery Nerves
I am having a rib resection surgery (15 years old, female) of my 10th ribs because of my slipping rib syndrome and costochondritis diagnosis. I am very worried about my surgery. How long does this usually take to recover from? Will I be able to perform regular activities? My scars will be pretty large, so how can I cover up my scars without being embarrassed?
