Hi all:
I had open heart surgery five weeks ago. I was in an excellent place mentally/emotionally prior to surgery because I'd been taking my cannabis tincture daily, and I was as anxiety-free as I've ever felt; I could just feel this expansive space in my mind and feelings that allowed me to think and reason rather than jumping on the defensive.
Well, the stress of it all has depleted my ECS pretty completely. So I've been back to my tincture for about a week--at a much lower dose, I really have had to start over again with cannabis---and I'm waiting for it to start kicking in. The post-op anxiety has been rough at times. And I long to get back to where I was. I think I'm heading in the right direction, but man! surgery is a life-changer. I had no idea that it would be as challenging as it has been. Physical healing is coming along well; it's the emotional healing I'm working on now.
I'd love to hear other peoples' experiences with medical cannabis after surgery.
