Every one thinks i am grumpy

I guess my family thinks i have been moody over the past few days, my back has been hurting for a while so i guess that is an issue, maybe a little anxious ??? normal i guess, anyone feel that way before surgery ??

Chris ~ Hello.  Wonder if you have the combination of things going on -- pain and nerves.  Can say my emotions were all over the place before surgery.  Think you're so totally normal.  It's a pretty big life change you have a head of you.

I asked my wife and she laughed....shes says im normally moody so she didnt see any difference before or after the surgery..lol

Hey Pal join me on the anxious train, just think were gonna be sitting on that loosers bench soon, anytime you want to talk sports or the operation feel free to email me..no Sox talk though lol

I was over-anxious, I couldnt wait to get the surgery done and I think I drove my husband nuts! Now, also keep in mind you might want to warn them...after surgery you will be worse! As your body loses fat, your hormones go nuts and you get very moody!
Just remember you can always come here and get things off your chest! Good Luck!

Oh Man!

I was so grumpy! I was in a lot of pain as well and just so damned anxioux to get rid of it! Once and for all! And I KNEW the surgery was going to be the answer to my prayers!

And it truly was!

I think what you're feeling is completely normal, Chris.

I wasn't so moody after the surgery though. I felt such a relief knowing that it was done and over with. I began losing weight at a good pace and started feeling some relief from the lower back and knee pain about a month or so after surgery.

I began walking as soon as I was able to get outside and go. It seemed to help my lower back not to be so stiff. I did easy stretches before and after to help loosen up the muscles and stretch my spine.

Are you able to get out and walk much now? If not, can you try the stretching?

I feel your pain.

You'll get through this. Before you know it, you'll be on the other side.

My heart is with you, my friend!
