Is this odd..... Not sure how an op on your knee pulls strings on your emotions .  It's been quite a busy christmas but I find then when I get to a certain part of the day I want to withdraw and sleep when I can't do this eg at family gatherings, concerts,  out and about, I get , (not to be over dramatic). almost panicky and tearful. I was quite tearful on Christmas Day torn between being with my gorgeous family and wanting to be rolled up in my duvet. I did receive a few knocks from my great nephews very excited jumping around.

My sleep is  one or two hours at night and two or three in the day time. The deep ache pain has subsided mainly soreness in the wound and joint now. 

Usually I am a very upbeat person. I did have another major op in August too of excess skin removal in Abs area due to weight loss.

i am a bit worried has anyone else had anything like this
