I went to the hosp. on the 17rh of May for a routine scan, then I woke up on the 18th in a hosp. bed. They just informed me I had a triple bypass and my aortic valve replaced. I still can't get a handle on it.

Cathy Zuber Hi Marlene....hugs!! Mention to your Docs and your church pastor that you are depressed. Common thing after heart surgery. You had a sudden surgery..no time to mentally prepare for it. Perhaps there are support cardiac groups at yr hospital. And, counseling always helps. So far, I've not experienced the depression..but I take an anti-depressant to function. My disabled daughter has major depression and bi-polar disease. I'm her caretaker. Years ago I realized I needed the extra help. We still, also, see a counselor..and she has helped with my OHS feelings. Hang in there!!

Jennifer McInerney You didn't have time to process your need for such major surgery. It must have been traumatic. No wonder you are having issues now that you are what physically recovering. Many folks have indicated that depression is common. I would mention it to your Cardiologist or Dr. And see what they suggest. Maybe Cardiac rehab. Would also help.
