Hi Laurie,
Everyone is different. You can see in my signature what I went through as it sounds like it will be similar to you. It pretty much kicked my butt but I'm alive and kickin' at almost a year out and doing Ok. Even went back to performing music again as of last week
My friend Donfoo will confirm, the key is NUTRITION, HYDRATION and PAIN MANAGEMENT. Keep those three aspects in check and you'll get through it. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other...
Positive thoughts and prayers
