surgery and lidacain epinephrine

[[co...]]

I called my surgeon's office yesterday to find out what the anesthesiology injections were that I was given when I had surgery late July.  I did this because of some of the posts I read on here and, low and behold, the injections were lidacaine with epinephrine bicarbonate and Marcaine. Even more important, I checked on this because my side affects after improving grew worse shortly after surgery and I've been overwhelmed by the daily struggle to get by.  My depression has been at an all time high, too, and each morning is a struggle with tears, tears and more tears.  On top of this, my life is very complicated because of issues concerning my husband's slow recovery from TBI due to a wreck he was in and then his subsequent bout with bladder cancer.  I could handle this better if it weren't for this constant battle with the sx's of wd and everything that seems to impact that almost daily. My mood does improve as the morning goes by but I'm steadily falling behind, trying to keep up with everything pretty much by myself. My husband does take care of some things but, most of the time, I have to keep after him to make sure he finishes. He seems to have lost interest in things, too. I really have no real help to speak of...all of our kids live in other states and have jobs and seem to be oblivious of the struggle that's going on here. My husband's kids hardly call. In all fairness though, they have their own problems, too. I'm tired...just very tired. And discouraged. Feels like this will never end.
