While it is absolutely wonderful that you find yourself able to concentrate on something other than your intense pain, finding yourself suddenly flooded with emotion can be difficult to handle - just ask any woman going through pregnancy and post partum depression. Though obviously chemically induced, the two are still similar in not knowing how to handle or even identify the emotions you're feeling.

Meditation or deep relaxation is very calming and can help put these emotions into perspective, especially the rage, however justified. Find your happy place and go there often!

And please pace your recovery. Little or no pain can be liberating - be careful.

Wishing you all the best, Dale
