What are the psychological effects after surgery?
A lot of people have some depression about two or three weeks after a major heart operation. I think it's a little more common in older people than younger people but it can happen in young people too, and some people have said it's because you, you come to terms with, you know, realizing that you've got a serious medical problem and that life isn't going to be quite as simple as it was before.
多くの患者さんは、大きな心臓手術を受けて2～3週間経つと精神的に落ち込みます。高齢者の方がそのような傾向があるように思いますが、若い患者さんにも見られることもあります。重い病気にかかり、今後の人生がこれまで通りにはならないということを実感できるようになったから、とその理由を話してくれる患者さんもいます。
But sometimes I think, it's more just than about two or three weeks after the surgery you think that you're gonna feel better than you actually do and you start to worry that maybe you're not going to recover completely and not be the person you were before.
ですが、回復を感じられるのは、術後2～3週間経過した後なのですが、元の自分には完全には戻れないのではないかとの不安を感じ始めるのです。
It's a, it's a point where the recovery plateaus a little bit, but then it gets better again and usually by about four weeks or six weeks after the surgery, you're back to where you were before and you realize that that was really just a temporary fear.
回復を感じられない期間はごくわずかだということは覚えておいてください。その後は再び上向きになり、術後4～6週間で以前の調子を取り戻すことができます。そうなれば、以前の悩みは一時的なものだったことがわかるのです。
