I know that things can get boring when you're cooped up during recovery. And dork and mvapes haven't been around, so here's a little vid to occupy a few minutes of your time until their next appearance. And, I'm sure you'll be pondering on it for a bit afterwards... ;)

First of all, @momofthegoons - ive begged you not to share my family's videos. I let you see that stuff purely from an educational stand point.

Second, when both @dorkus_molorkus go missing at the same time something somewhere is bound for a shit storm. But, we're always watching.

@Melting Pot - fret not my friend, you'll never get bored!

Oh wait, I guess you have to keep that heart rate normal so your second favorite pastime is out of the question. Well, there's always legos!

Anyways, I hope your feeling a bit better. You have a lot of healing to do. This is probably going to be a tougher recovery than the s-x change. I could only assume!

Keep your chin up brotha, good times are coming. And if they don't you still have @DieHard brownies.

Keep up the healing...

:razz:

Just fuck it !!!
Some people are better off alone¡!!!!!!!!!!!!/!!!
Nobody understands me and the way I feel like I'm going to explode. They dosed the hell out of me on xanax. I had a pretty exciting day at my GP. I will be getting some funny looks there.
Almost had to call the Ambulance and the Police.
I have issue's and those issues have issues etc.

Be kind to yourself, too. You need to heal. Stop expecting yourself to be "over it" already.

Have another brownie :)

I am being very kind to myself it's just the way everyone else expects me to act the way they think I should act. Easy for everyone else to say they are not experience the pain and emotions that I am.
Almost out correction I am out of brownies. The best I've ever had @DieHard :tup::tup:

@Melting Pot, Dr's and Surgeons rarely talk about the physical and emotional trauma associated with major surgery. They just don't, but it's a real problem for many people and even though you had successful OHS, you've been put through the ringer .

No one knows what you've been through, unless they've been through it too.. Your emotions and reactions are normal.

Hope you find some peace and that people just leave you alone-to HEAL. :nod:

What @VaporsVaporizer said 100% !!!!!

ya gotta give yourself some time.

I know for me even after successful surgery I've often felt depressed, angry and misunderstood. Your body and mind have been to hell and back from stress, meds and the surgery itself.

I always find I need a lot of quiet 'alone time' for a week or so before I can play well with others myself.

Somehow arguments and disagreements with those i love or live with always follow an invasive/intense hospital stay.

:peace:

My mom had 5 open heart surgeries in her lifetime ,more than most people ever go through ;). Besides the physical healing that had to happen, there was always an emotional healing that had to take place. There was always an emotional roller coaster that happened after each surgery. It was just part of it , she'd been to the brink and back. It affects you, even though the surgery was successful.

Call it post surgery/ PTSD .

Your body is being flooded with stress hormones and you're healing . It takes a while for things to settle down..

It hasn't been that long since your surgery, give yourself time and keep the idiots away if you can. :tup:

Sorry Melting Pot....for coming to this get together so late. Here's hoping:
- You got a sponge bath while recouping
- The nurse who gave you the sponge bath raised your blood pressure..but just enough
- You got those brownies in time for the sponge bath
- You get more brownies

Even with the surgery and the aftermath .... I have to say after reading this thread....Try not to let family or recovery get you down too much.....You are a lucky, lucky man. The surgery was a success, the brownies were good and most importantly....you are seriously like and loved.

@Melting Pot sounds like What some of my family thinks of my herb use mirrors yours. I have a sister who's married to a pharmacist get on my case all the time talkin' like I was better off with a morphine pump running 24/7 supplemented with handfuls of morphine sulfate and methadone along with a shoebox of other meds daily(all replaced with MMJ) ... The only reply I can muster anymore is a simple "FUCK YOU" and then remove myself from their presence to vape a little in-order to preserve MY piece of mind.

That's what Works for me. :tup:

If I can add something constructive, hoping it relates and can help your familly problems. Ask them to talk about themsleves, use the "I" instead of the "you". Just the 1st person. Without a "you should, you would be better, you etc", its harder for them to be patronising, or use another form of annoying speach.

I know its hard with all the meds, but keep in mind a FEW are annoying OUT OF PURE LOVE, reacting akwardly in the best they can for you. But others are simply reinforcing their own point of view, thinking how great they are giving out advice to someone "in need", FEEDING THEIR EGO, being selfish WITHOUT KNOWING IT.
