Have any of you had trouble dealing with stress during the post-op recovery period, even minor stress?
I found myself crying my eyes out this afternoon after I discovered that my son is having trouble in science class at school. It may have started when I was in the hospital, unable to help him. The thought that I'd have to crack down on him just broke my heart. Then later on this evening I collapsed into uncontrollable sobbing when I thought I'd run out of yogurt. What a catastrophe! (Turns out there was still some 'way in the back where I couldn't bend over and see it.)
Now that I'm more or less sane again at 1:00 a.m. (?), I realize this may have been due to stress, fatigue, and/or that awful feeling of being helpless. This sort of weeping fit isn't at ALL like me, and things have been going well with my recovery. Any thoughts? (Besides the obvious one that I should be asleep by now!)
