Subject: hello everyone, I have a question about surgery.

As most of you no, I had a Discectomy/laminectomy decompression to my L5-S1 disc about 2 weeks ago for a herniated ruptured disc in my back. ever since I have come home, I haven't felt right. I went to the DR and had a bllod work up done, all was normal, I had a CBC and sedrate which was very elevated. my memory is bad, I repeat myself a lot and I just can't seem to get things done. I had to have a friend over to pay my bills for me and I have tons of disabiltiy forms to fill out and it's really hard to figure things out. I don't feel right, I am on some pain meds but not a lot and I have used them before so that's not the problem, and I don't take them every day, I was on valium, but have stopped that to. I swear that anestisa did something to me, I am not the same person I was before. I am tired and my body does not feel normal. I was also so depressed in the hosptial, I cried most of the time, and I didn't no why. I just feel different and I don't no why. I was wondering if I coild have some slight "brain damage" I wonder if something went wrong when I was "under". I have never had surgery before so maybe this is normal?

thanks for your opinions. I am really downing the water to get my systme cleared out. I was under anestsia for 3.5 hours which is not to long compared to some surgeries. mostly it's my memory and concentration that is not normal.
