@janicepike, Feeling down after surgery is really common. I encourage you to start a new topic dedicated to this topic in the HCM group. There are a few among the group who have stories to share. Here's how to start a new discussion topic:
1. Go to the HCM group page https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/hypertrophic-cardiomyopathy-hcm/
2. Click START A DISCUSSION
3. Add a title. For example "Post myectomy depression" or "Feeling blue after successful surgery" (Use your preferred words)
4. Write the message and click CREATE DISCUSSION.
How u feeling

Hi there @janicepike, congrats on a successful surgery and for getting past the narcotics! You've body has been through a major event and is going to need time to get back up to it's usual paces, mentally and physically. I saw my father go through the same thing you're going through and saw that he was out of sorts also for awhile, but he improved quickly once he got back to his usual routine. Maybe taking up a new hobby would help take your mind off things. Go easy on yourself, you deserve it!
