I'm so happy to hear you are not feeling the pain as you did prior!

I've battled depression in all it's various stages it seems.....
I do remember that the anesthesia used (even tho only a twilight daze) had me feeling rather 'strange' for a few days after the procedure and I just wasn't myself at all.
Or maybe the valium has this as a side effect....?
Or could be a little bit of everything, you know...you've been thru an awful lot....and being 'laid up', not able to do much might have your endorphins in low gear.

I watched alot of humor on TV and tried to surround myself with things that make me happy....and of course this forum

I'm sure you'll have the blues kicked in no time.

Try not to 'isolate' yourself too much....I made that mistake and paid dearly for it. It has a way of drawing a person deeper into that 'dark cloud'....

Mark knows exactly what I mean.....and several others here.
We're always here for ya. Just know that ok!
