Amputation is the removal of a body extremity by trauma or surgery. Many have undergone amputation or have been living with a missing limb since birth. In either case, life as an amputee can be challenging. This is the place to find others going through the same experiences as an amputee.

I'm just wondering if anyone else became extremely emotional post surgery. I dont mean emotional about the loss of a limb, I mean emotional about EVERYTHING! Lately all I do is cry and sometimes over the strangest things. I think I told you all I've moved in with my parents recently, well anyhow the other night I cried for an hour because I didnt want my dad to go to work. I cry in the shower, I cry in bed, I cry in the car....I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm crying right now lol. Someone please tell me this is ok, my parents are worried about me and I've driven my fiancee completely out of my life. Whats going on??? Thank you all so much for listening.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I think that this comes from the fact that many people are uncomfortable being around someone who is obviously in a very emotional state. My advice, let it out, cry as you need to. It is your subconscious letting out a primal scream. If you box it in, you will suffer as long as you do this. Your instincts are doing what you need to do. As long as you know you are not ignoring what you need for proper care, this would be what I would call "normal" as far as a response to your loss.
God Bless :-)
