I had been fighting a depressed episode for some time when the gallbladder thing occurred. I think what then triggered the final descent into suicidal hell was a combination of the narcotic pain meds, trauma of surgery, and the anesthesia. I had a good talk with the surgeon, who is more than willing to work with my pdoc. There are a lot of differences already from last time. First, I am not using any narcotic pain relief. Second, the type of surgery is a lot different -- a lot of IV fluids were pumped through me, while the gallbladder surgery was done by a scope, it was still a much more invasive procedure, and postoperative pain and recovery will be a lot less this time.

However, I am right now just coming out of a depression and it still is a surgery, so I think the fact that I am still scared is understandable. The effects of the anesthesia can still be a trigger. So I will probably talk a lot about it over the next month until I make it safely through it.
