Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas or have had the same problem and overcome it. Even an explanation that your Dr mentioned to you would be gratefully accepted. I see my own Doctor at the end of the month and I plan to ask him about it so I'm not going to stop my meds or do anything silly. I'm after knowledge I guess.
Thank for reading this

Hi Sinéad ,
I just had another thought... duh! After surgery it can take up to a year.. or thats what it was.. to get all of the anesthesia out of your system, and those drugs are memory altering, big time! Your surgery was so major and very recent...that I think it just takes time... give yourself that
