Rebecca called tonight,  and asked how I was feeling.    “Very tired”  was my answer,  and she seemed to know it would be.   She hasn’t forgotten that I had major surgery just two months ago.   I think I go through my days trying to deny it.

At work,  everything is physical for the most part,  and that saps my energy for the rest of the day.  I feel that I have to pull my weight to be fair to my co-workers, but that means that,  at home,  things that I want to do keep getting set aside.  I couldn’t even stay awake long enough to watch a movie tonight with George.   It’s very frustrating,  and I get impatient with myself.

Thank you, Rebecca, for coming along with your reminder that I need to take it easy for a little while yet.   I went through quite an ordeal in August,  and my body is still healing.

Did I mention I was tired?   I will catch up eventually,  but for now,  I’m off to bed……

Yes… it takes a while to heal. While it is frustrating, it is important to remember that your body has an important job to do right now… resting means your body has time to rebuild and repair… so follow her advice, and let the dust bunnies enjoy a little freedom. I was amazed how much I improved by Thanksgiving, and then again by Christmas… and by the following spring break…(my surgery was in August as well)

Ah, tired, I can relate. With heavy duty breathing issues my energy level fluctuates from day to day. I also can relate to the frustration. But its better to embrace today and do what you can and forget about what you can’t do. Hang in there.

Those Daiseys are so beautiful, and they do look restful.
It does take some time to get back to your former self. Just don’t rush it. Relax and enjoy this gorgeous Fall. It’s cold here tonight, and we took a ride today. The leaves are falling fast !
