Hi Mr. Swanson, Sorry to hear of your wife's troubles. I can really relate to what she is going through. Please reassure her that it has only been less than two weeks since her procedure and she is still healing. She won't always feel the way she does now. It seems to me that she needs some encouragement that life will be good again and without pain. It is hard to see that light at the end of the tunnel when you are in constant pain. Also, I'm not sure how long she's been on anti-depressants, but from what I've heard they can take 4-6 weeks to kick in. I think she'll feel better physically in a week or two and I hope that will help lift her spirits too. I'm glad she has a supportive husband like you. Take good care, Nicole
