How was your mental state after surgery?

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!

My other 2 surgeries were knee replacements 3 months apart. During the 2nd replacement I had Covid and several sinus infections. That recovery time really taught me that I have to really listen to my body and mind. For example I woke up at 5 am because I just could not get comfortable, at 8 am I was so tired I laid back down.. if I am tired I sleep. I would love to connect with you via test or facebook if you are interested.. It would be nice to have someone to talk to that is going thru recovery the same time.. to find me on facebook Linda Armstrong Feldmeier . This way we can talk privately. Hang in there wipe off those tears and conquer the next hour..
