hi everyone I'm new here and just hoping for a bit of direction
I am 6 ft 1, 115 kilos, and never used to believe in depression, 4 weeks ago tomorrow I had a total knee replacement and since coming home from hospital (only in 3 nights) I have found it difficult mentally, the operation went superb but I can just break down in tears for no apparent reason
I have tremendous support from my wife and family but whilst I'm on my own I'm really struggling
I'm used to being active have a decent social life normally but since the operation, hours of sitting or lying around have really altered my outlook, its difficult seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, this rehab is approx. 3 months or so long but it sems like a lifetime
I just want to get back to work and normality, if theres such a thing, is it common to feel like this or is it just a case off man up
any suggestion would be nice
kindet regards
derek
