In reply to Post Operative depression?, posted by delna on August 8, 2007, at 15:45:06
I have experienced post operative depression too..although my last surgery was many years ago I remember walking down the hallways of the hospital in tears, not from pain, just feeling horribly depressed..unfortunately, I can't remember how long it lasted..and at that time I didn't associate the crying spells with post operative depression..even though one year prior to that episode I had surgery and experienced the same thing..still didn't make the connection..
I'm having surgery in September and if it happens again I'll at least know what I'm dealing with..
Maybe you should put a call in to your doctor and explain how you are feeling..
