Pretty much the way they effect my wife, also. Although body weight has something to do with it, it comes back to one certain enzyme and its form in the body. I realized on one level that I didn't respond well. I have a pile of hydrocodone bottles, almost full, from previous orthopedic surgeries. I just didn't realize the extent of it before. The same enzyme interacts with the main hormone governing our ability to feel pain. That ability may also be blunted in me...
So glad everything went well for you. After several years of reading your posts, I know you've had your share of surgery. Still, we never get comfortable with those procedures. Take care, regain your strength, and you will be ready for some Summer hiking.
