Glad you joined and raised your hand. You have lots of positives to look forward to. I suspect as you point out you are suffering some depression which is common. Talk to your doctors and get some help temporarily in that area. There is no shame in feeling down and out suffering through all you have been through and wanting only the best for your family.
As you are handling the physical beating well enough, so should your recovery go. Everyone is different. I am very fortunate to have glided over many of the rough road many have endured and now just 4 weeks post, I feel like 90% man of old.
Only side effects are still feeling draggy and needing lots of quality sleep and a few minor throat pains that come and go but life can pop back quite fast and fully as my experience certainly supports.
hang in there and stay connected here. don
