Absobulutely, emotions are at a all time high. My surgery was May 9th but have had 2 other major surgeries since September and crying, anger, impatience and more come to mind.. Major surgery and recovery plays games with our emotions plus not getting rest adds to it maybe.. Hang in there

Thanks @mamalinda61
My surgery was May 9th too. Were your other surgeries for cancer?
And yes, though crying is my most popular emotion, anger and impatience seep out now and again and I hate that, especially when it is directed toward my partner/caregiver who has been wonderful. (And oh... typing that has inspired a short round of sobs...) I think resting is something I need to work on. I used to only need about six hours of sleep and I tend to wake up after that amount of time and not be able to fall back to sleep. More naps!
