Dear Greg,
"All my free time"??? Working 12-16 hours a day? WHAT free time???
First thought is that you take some time to rest - like staying home and doing nothing but sleeping - I don't know what your job requirements are so I don't know if that's even a possibility.
Knee surgery is a major assault on the body, not only in terms of mobility, but healing. If you're walking and using the knee, healing's going to take even longer. It's not like a broken arm that can be stabilized and immobilized in a cast.
Re the laryngitis, have you seen your doctor? Is it possible you're also battling an infection? If so, that's a 24-hour-a-day battle, even when you're sleeping.
Not to get all "metaphysical" on you, but have you considered the cause of the laryngitis? Something you said that you regret? Something you're not saying but want to say?
Couple all of this with depression which is incredibly exhausting (I know that seems like an oxymoron, but not to someone who's experienced it), and you may be receiving warning signs that it's time to stop and regroup. Personally, it sounds like there's a slow, chronic leak of your psychic energy.
I've found that Centrum's "energy" formula has been very helpful in helping me regain my stride.
Eastern medicine believes that food is medicine and our bodies know what we need. Are you experiencing any cravings? How's your protein intake?
These are just random thoughts that may apply or not.
Good luck...Coral
