Guest guest Posted May 6, 2005 Report Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi Michele, I had lower surgery at the end of march and I was exactly the same as you - the first week I felt pretty much ok - i think alot of it was the relief that it was finally done. After that though I seemed to go downhill and, just like you said would find myself crying and not even knowing why. It's a huge thing to go through and it definately took me a while to feel myself again. I am now about 5 weeks post op and I am starting to feel like myself again, only better, because I know the surgery is over and done with! I promise you'll get there! Hang in there - it does get easier...
