Tuckered Out

I make a list each morning, of what I want to accomplish for the day.   I’ve always done this.   I put about ten things on my list today,  several of them were very sedentary projects.   I did manage a few more entries on eBird,   I got a payment ready to send out,   I made my required weekly call into work,   and sent an email to my sister,  Sandi.     On the slightly more ambitious side,   I filled the bird feeders,  set the clean bathmats back into place,  and washed the few morning dishes.   After those low-energy projects,  I found myself exhausted,  and ready to sink back onto the couch.    Yesterday’s outing was so nice,  and I needed to get out,  but I guess it might have been too much too soon,  and so I’ll take it easy the rest of this day.

I feel like I have a very short time to get back to the energy level I was at before surgery.   My job keeps me on my feet eight hours a day,  with a lot of lifting and lugging.    I’m nowhere near ready for that,  and only four short weeks left to get there.

Even after 4 more weeks you will find returning to work a challenge. Are you able to return to modified duties or 1/2 time the first week? That is always a good way to get back into a full work week.

Why not ask the doctor to require you to have light duty for a couple of weeks. That is always a good way to return to work after major surgery. Evelyn

You will probably find that all of a sudden, things change dramatically for the better - if not, take more time off, if possible.

Take it easy, and you’ll get there. It does take time, and it sounds like you are already getting “cabin fever”.
Have a great week-end.
It’s been mostly cloudy here today, but quite humid. We had our AC on for the first time in days.
I love the cat in the slipper.
