I found out today that I have to have some surgery on my knee. I knew it was coming. I have had both of my knees scoped before, and was familiar with the pain. Anyway, now that the diagnosis is for real and the surgery is for real, I'm scared. It has to do with my last surgery. Almost two years ago, I had my gallbladder out. The whole incident came on suddenly. I was in intense pain for three weeks, on narcotic pain relief for that time and for about a week after the surgery. I was already in a bad depression before the gallbladder attack started. Anyway, about two weeks after the surgery, I attempted to take my life. While things are much different as far as the pain and the narcotic pain relief this time, I am still nervous about what might be triggered by another surgery.
Just needed to share this with someone.
