@denma55 - I understand exactly where you are and how you feel. I came to realize that I was actually experiencing post-surgical PTSD. Yes, I recall tearful days (very normal after experiencing a significant physical trauma) and I still have heightened emotions a year later. You're human - of course you will feel out-of-sorts for some time. I suggest you google PTSD. . There are also treatment suggestions.

Mostly, I recommend maintaining a positive outlook. Rather than wondering if you'll be one of those who experiences lingering symptoms...picture that you will experience great post surgical success! Resist obsessing on stories of surgical failures. You are not them...

Hang in. These are the early days...
