National First Responders Day is a reminder to recognize the people who show up when it matters most. Firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, law enforcement, and dispatchers put themselves in difficult and often dangerous situations to protect lives and keep others safe. Thank you to those who respond first, serve with integrity, and make our communities stronger and safer every day.

It’s perfectly normal to feel tired after surgery because your body’s energy is focused on healing. However, many may have questions about how tired is "too tired". Recovery is a process, and no two people have the exact response to healing. Some general key points:
👍Needing extra rest, especially in the first week or two—very normal.
👉Ongoing exhaustion, dizziness, or shortness of breath—that's not normal.
We recommend to our patients to rest, eat nourishing foods, and move gently when ready—but don't wait to call our office with any questions or concerns.

Surgery doesn’t just affect your body — it can also take an emotional toll. Anxiety before a procedure, fear of the unknown, and the challenges of recovery can all impact your mental health. At Paragon Surgical Specialists, we believe true healing includes caring for both the physical and emotional well-being of our patients. Our compassionate surgical team supports patients through every step of the process — from pre-surgery preparation to recovery — helping reduce stress, answer questions, and build confidence in your care plan. When your mind is calm, your body can heal more effectively.

On this World Mental Health Day, we encourage every patient to focus on their mental wellness as part of recovery. Taking care of your mental health is one of the most important steps toward a healthy recovery and a healthier life. 💙
