{{{{geo}}}} that must be hard...going from whats considered a very "strong,masculaine" job which, as you said, occupied time as well and made you feel worthwhile to having to deal with this injury. Your psych recommend anything to treat the depression and anxiety?
Maybe invite friends over more often? Spend more time with g/f or wife in fun, but less physical things that dont hurt too much?
Either way you'll get alot of good, caring "human" contact here
