Coming Home from the Hospital Journal Book
A 37-Page Journal: Reflections on Regaining Your Movement
This interactive journal is designed to support the early stages of recovery after returning home from the hospital. It offers a gentle, supportive space to reflect on movement, rest, fear, progress, and rebuilding trust in your body as you heal.
The journal follows the natural progression of recovery, from stillness and minimal movement, to gentle activation, stretching, and increased mobility. It can be used alongside the Mastectomy Recovery Companion home-care videos or on its own, at your own pace.
There is no pressure to complete every page. You’re invited to work with what feels manageable and supportive, and return to other sections when you’re ready.
What You’ll Explore Inside
• Meditation and progressive relaxation for calming the nervous system
• Isometric exercises and early muscle activation reflections
• Smart movement progressions in bed and out of bed
• Gentle stretching and rebuilding range of motion

Throughout the journal, you’ll find:

- Free-form creative pages for drawing, doodling, or symbolic expression
