When was the last time that you cried?

Almost 5 years ago (will be 5 years in September).

Was about 24 hours after major surgery which left me temporarily almost completely deaf and some nerve damage which temporarily affected my smell and taste. The surgery was to fix a problem which was also causing me to be blind in one eye.

I was lying in bed in the neurology ward in St. Vincent's university hospital, family gone home for the night, lights off in the ward, curtains drawn around my bed, with iv antibiotic in one arm and an anticoagulant infusion in the other, in massive amounts of pain between doses of morphine.

I was freaking out about my hearing, taste, smell and the vision in my right eye.
I made my family bring me a bottle of the nasty tasting orange Listerine mouthwash that day do I could try and taste or smell something but hadn't done it until I was alone.

So in lying there in bits swishing this stuff in my mouth bot smelling or tasting anything, and I just felt completely alone. I was working as a chef at the time and the taste and smell thing was scaring me because I thought of have to give it up and find a new career and start from scratch.

Couldn't even listen to music or watch a movie to distract myself and just lay there sobbing in the dark for what felt like forever until a nurse came to check in me and sat beside me wiping away tears and telling me it will be ok for the guts of half an hour until my next morphine dose was due and I fell asleep.

Before that the last time was at my aunt's funeral, solid as a rock the whole way through it, standing beside my brothers and my cousin/best friend all of us between 20 and 30 years old, none of us shed a single tear until the second our uncles and our aunt's husband started lowering the coffin into the grave and then every single one of us started crying like babies one by one.

I found many of you guys almost never cry.I cry often,the last time is about last week.I think,cry is an effective way to release pressure.
