[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 618435, member: 17269"] Cedar, this makes sense to me. I work in medicine, in surgery to be precise, and I can testify that it takes 4-6 weeks for people to start to feel themselves after surgery, which is a trauma, an assault..even after seemingly minor surgery like an appendectomy. So I can imagine it is the same. We are traumatized, assaulted, all the catecholamines and adrenaline go nuts and set off their own metabolic cascade, and then....our bodies and therefore our minds (because the knee bone is indeed connected to the thigh bone) start to recover. Along with the recovery from surgery is depression, a feeling of loss of control, hopelessness...we all know that with our difficult children. Ain't nature wonderful??? The work you've done, the work that your husband didn't do...I think they tell more in lessening the likelihood of a fall, and in bringing you to full recovery. YOu get resilience, so something like a simple phone call from difficult child doesn't bring you low...that is what I find, anyway. Thank you for that post. [/QUOTE]
