Thanks Jim always nice to hear from you...I am feeling a little I don't know what to call it almost like well no big deal it was but now it seems like everything is back to normal I seem to be taking care of myself. My husband goes away almost every weekend in the beginning I understood and encouraged him to go to help a friend of ours gather wood for the winter. Now it has been every weekend. So I am left alone a great deal I am getting better at it but it still sucks...Hubby was great during surgery and hospital stay but now when he is home just sits in his chair and watches tv so most nites when he is home I am still alone anyway...He has a lot of his own issues and is tired after a weekend "working". Anyway I am hoping this pain dies down a bit I am sure my new family doctor will be helpful. The after math of this surgery is setting in besides pain also crying a lot for no reason and am recognizing depression. I can bring myself out but for someone who's life has been saved I sure am moody!!! probably from all the life changes smoking, pain surgery limitations and pain. No wonder hubby goes away and leaves me alone...lol I am not that bad...I am having a hard time of it but still under control for the most part...I really hope my oc doctor will rewrite my pain meds come tuesday when his office is open...Have a great thanksgiving my daughter is taking a stab at making dinner this year with my help...
