When in pain, it is hard to navigate daily work and your response to people.  This seems much easier now.  I feel quietly hopeful which changes ones outlook.  In yoga terms, my inner light is brighter and because of this my presence in the world is too. - Aerial

That is beautiful, Aerial!

"The more you light up yourself, the more you light up the world....When you illuminate your mind, your heart, and your body, you feel good. When you feel good, that radiates out in everything you do; your thoughts are more peaceful, your expressions more joyful.

And as you experience these lighter feelings, they ripple out, affecting those around you. Beyond that, on an energetic level, as you bring these vibrations of goodness into the here and now, you contribute to raising the frequency of the planet as a whole." - http://www.yogawithkatrina.com/body-bright-outer-world-resplendent/

I have a friend, still in pain and not having much hope, and I feel she's going through a much more difficult time than she'll let on.  She said she couldn't hardly bear to have polite conversation with coworkers or even her family because pain informed her life to that degree.  Your response is exactly what I was asking for; how does a more contemplative styled person experience and interact with non hippies, (civilians), now that their pre op pain is falling away like a discarded shell that no longer serves it's purpose?
