Feeling very sad, in pain and very unhappy at the moment.

Tonight I'm feeling very sad and depressed and sick of feeling crappy.  I still have some dreadful pain every time I try and move even to get up out of my recliner chair.  The lower left pain is pinching and pulling like crazy and no amount of pain relief is even touching the sides of the pain. 

Hubby took me out for a drive yesterday thinking he would cheer me up and I just burst into tears when he stopped at a roadhouse for  a coffee.  I'm wondering what the hell did I do this to myself for and all I want to do is graze all day as if I'm eating my pain.  I know this is the wrong thing to do as it will just make things worse but I just feel so lousy.

I see the surgeon in the morning and hopefully find out what is giving me so much pain.  I need to also get some sort of certificate from him for my work.  I still am not back at work full time yet but have been doing about 6 hours per day, 5 days a week.  Work have been very good so far but I'm not sure how much longer they will keep tolerating me doing only 6 hours a day.

I feel so sad at the moment and have had enough.

I'm sorry you are in pain. Being in pain affects us so many ways. I hope you can find out why from your doctor in the morning.

Oh, Karin.  I am so sorry you are dealing with this.  Being in pain does affect your whole being.  I know when my knee is bad, I am a grouch and don't want to do anything.  I appreciate your working through this pain, don't know if I could.  Lets pray your surgeon will get you diagnosed and fixed and you will be back on the road to feeling good.

Sending out some big hugs to you Karin!

So sorry you are going through this. I cant imagine how you feel. I hope the doc can figure out whats going on and get you feeling better asap! What a trooper you are being able to go to work everyday. You are a strong woman.

Thanks guys, it means so much to me to have you all here for support.  Here in Australia there is no one else I know that has had the RNY and especially a revision such as myself.  There are no support groups here at all so you guys are all that I have.  I live in Melbourne which is one of the biggest cities here in Australia so I'm not in the outback where there are no people.  I just wish there was more here for me like you guys have over there.

Karin,
Labradoodles and lizards swingin' here in Maryland for you. I pray your pain abates and the surgeon makes you all better.

Hmmm....if it's summer here, is it winter there?  Can you get a bit of sun?  Sit in a sunny patch in front of a window maybe?

The early days can be rough without additional pain, and it must be a little scary not to know what is going on.  Your doctor will figure out to do, and you will heal.  Hang in there, Karin.  It will get better.

Oh Karin, you poor darlin.  I'm so sorry to read that you're in so much pain.  That's enough to make anyone depressed.  I'm so happy that you have a husband that's doing his best to try to cheer you up.  I'm glad you're not alone in this.

I've been away and haven't kept up with the board for several weeks.  Did you have complications from your revision?  I hope things get cleared up quickly and that you're feeling better soon.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I didn't feel well and questioned my surgery as well. I had a couple crying spells too. However, you will get over it and you will feel better. The pain will start going away and you will be able to do more. It's good you have your husband to support you. Take care and know that you will get through this.

Hope they can find out what is causing your pain and get you fixed up quickly and feeling better!!
