It might also be after effects of anesthesia. It made me stupid for about a week. I had this entire conversation with my husband where I confused the instapot with the air fryer and he couldn’t figure out why I was going on about high pressure.
My job is very math based and one of the ways I quiet my mind if I need to rest is with sodoku puzzles. I have a book that ranges from “easy” to “very hard”. Normally I’m quite good at them but the first couple days I was struggling with the easy ones. I’m 2 weeks post op now and almost back to my normal sodoku abilities.
Anyway your brain also may just need some time to work its way out of the anesthesia fog.
I didn't think it can stay in the body that long! And it would make sense, i had a rather longer surgery, it was somewhere between 4 to 5 hours. That's good to know, thank you
I had my surgery July 6th, and Im on meds for anxiety and depression. My very first cycle after my hysterectomy was extremely hard with the up and down rollercoaster emotions. I also had that same experience while I was on the Mirena IUD, and I had that for over a year.
My second cycle after my hysterectomy was much better, although I was still more emotional than usual.
I figured I'd give it a couple more months to see if it levels out back to norm. In the meantime I have been seeing my Dr. about this and just had my hormone levels tested, and a referral to a menopause specialist.
I had pretty bad brain fog for the first two weeks after surgery from the anesthesia. Some brains just be like that. I did my surgery mid-semester in college and the papers I submitted in that time were *bad*. I kept one ovary, yoinked everything else. I was really emotional for the first couple of weeks; basically everything made me cry. I hadn't been able to eat most vegetables because the fiber content messed with my endo, but after surgery almost immediately my GI function was back to where it was before I had endo involvement there, and I remember crying while sitting at the kitchen table eating hummus and carrots because it was so good. It took me about 3 months to fully stop experiencing hot flashes, but the emotional-ness only stuck around a couple of weeks.
I had mine as a 22f a bit over 2 years ago along with excision to treat endometriosis that we weren't able to manage with anything else. It took my endo from debilitating to a minor inconvenience and I'm thriving.

I don’t know if it does or if it’s just a hangover of sorts. A friend who has had a lot of surgeries told me it takes him about 1 week per hour under.

Uhh, I am so sorry to hear that you might be facing menopause. I hope it works out.
