I definitely think a positive attitude will increase the chance of a speedy recovery. Patients with a positive attitude are more likely to get out of bed quick after surgery (per dr's orders) instead of laying still and letting pneumonia set in. They have a "nothing's gonna get me down" mentality. I wish nothing but the best for your cousin!

While studies are not great on this subject, it is assumed that a positive attitude leads to better healing because you are not as stressed or releasing chemical that would impede progress.
However, studies have shown that people who are prayed for actually do worse. The flaw in the study was the person being prayed for did not know. If they did, they might have a good attitude and heal better.
Mind over matter. It is a psychological tenet at this point.

Absolutely. I had knee surgery (my first surgery ever) about three months ago. I was in extreme pain because they broke my tibia, realigned it, and placed two screws in. I was really upset and my doctor talked to me. Once he did that, I started trying to have a positive attitude. I told myself that I WOULD get through it and feel better. Now, I can walk without pain. It helped so much to have a positive attitude and encouraged me to make the decision of having my other knee operated on. I'm sure she'll be fine, and I'll pray for her. =)

I read an article in a magazine that said a good positive attitude can help fight cancer cells and I'll be praying for your cousin too

Yes, my daughter had life saving surgery 4 yrs ago, and if it wasn't for mine and her dads support in being positive I don't think she would have made it. She was in very bad shape going in, almost lost her 3 times but she pulled through with our positive outlook and support.

absolutely a positive attitude helps with recovery. Tell her to keep her chin up and she'll feel better one day at a time- it WILL pass. Also proven is that people with faith recover more quickly.

It certainly can't hurt. And I'll say a prayer for your cousin.

yes, it has been proven that positivity does increase the chances of recovery or the extent to which you recover.
