I think you should call your surgeon and see if the hospital offers some kind of counseling for people that have been in your situation. There's bound to be something like that there. Also, don't overdo on the days you're feeling better. That's how you get a lot worse the next day. I learned that after I had my hysterectomy. And if you don't feel like you can't return to work next week, don't rush yourself. You don't want to get worse, you know? I hope things get better for you soon.
