Carl,
Yes, yes and yes. Been there, done that, try not to remember most of it.
I have been chronic over two years. Haven't worked since last Oct. Had surgery in Feb and have had double vison since then. BUT, the surgery got the devils down to a 2-3 on the scale and that's just discomfort.
The depression is normal and it will pass if you work on it. Easier said than done - I know. I've been to the point that I wouldn't even answer the phone and heaven help anyone who knocked on the door. But they can give you some antidepressants for that (ask about them).
We're all here for you, so just hang in there. And so what Margie says DRINK LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER.
Hugs BD
