Welcome to Mayo Connect. You are not alone in feeling depressed after surgery due to lack of support system.

I am glad you had a good experience at Mayo, but after being well cared for and getting the attention you needed, it must be very disappointing that when you went home it was the opposite.

You did not mention how old your daughter is, but I am guessing she is young.

Is it possible that you go stay with your mother for a week or your mother comes stay with you while you recover?

Unfortunately, I don't have any family in Iowa. I'm very grateful for my neighbors and church. They all came together to help me. I still going back home, sometime next year when I'm better.
