I dont want to pour cold water onto...etc etc
Remember that the drugs for the surgery directly relate to the
central nervous system - that also affects other areas
all I am saying is you might find your batting average
goes down a bit for a few mths after surgery
- dont worry, it all comes back !
Best regards

My experience was that it took about two full weeks for my libido to return to normal....and I'm 63.  I think you just need to get the drugs and the anesthesia out of your system.  That, and rest enough immediately post-op to regain some of your strength.  It worked for me..and that's all I'm going to say on the subject! 
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
