Open Heart Surgery - Depression - The Real Pain
Of course, all open heart surgeries are different, age of person, type of open heart surgery, & many other factors. This story is good for anyone after open heart, but you will need to modify for your own story.
One of first things I thought about my open heart surgery was my chest and opening the chest to get to my heart! Sometimes we can think toooooo much! Like the article said:
"They took a saw and split my chest bone wide open. I just knew this brutal act would be my major source of pain."
Myth Buster: This actually was not that bad! The only issue I had, like others, was sneezing or coughing!
As the article points out, many people have not suffered depression and after surgery this may be a new experience. It gives a list of possible issues:
Apathy
Anger
Feelings of Doom
Desire for prescription pain medication
Seclusion
