COVID-19: Anyone else dealing with postponed heart procedure?

I had a "7" CABG, and it was quite the experience. The one thing I was surprised at through the recovery was how sad I would become if I had to explain what I went through. I would start to cry and couldn't carry-on a conversation with relatives seeking to understand what I experienced. As I progressed, I found that this condition went away. I had up until then not been a type to be weepy, but this surgery sure made me like that for a short time. I am wondering of others experienced this?

Hi @mikeynorth, you are certainly not alone with the emotional impact of a health experience and it making you weepy out-of-characteristically. You might be interested in taking part in this discussion:

Do you think it was the seriousness of the surgery that made you weepy or perhaps a medication you were taking then and no longer are taking now?

Mike, yes, this happens often and to many of us, and is also written about often as well. Congratulations on your progress. I was very thankful and greatful!
