Hi Bobd,

Sorry you are going through this but as stated above we all do.

I think part of it is that we expected to feel better at 2 month or more. Instead you are dealing with all the after effects and pain. This brings us down into the depression.

Make sure you are getting the pain medicine you need and lot of nutrition and liquids. The is a long recovery and it take time. You will start seeing improvements around 3 mo. Hang in there you will have good and bad days. When I was feeling real bad I use to avoid talking and such. I watched TV until I could quote all the commercials, and I felt Oprah and Dr. Phil were relatives. laugh

Try and take one day at a time. Read all you can here on OCF it will help.

Take care,
Diane
