15th day and so exhausted
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hello my friends, I seem to be so drained at the moment, everything is such an effort. Started off ok yesterday morning, walking about, doing my exercises, then slept the rest of the day. Woke up this morning feeling So worn out. I've always been able to push the limits, but am struggling to even do the basics at the moment. Feeling lazy, and guilty. 💖

I do understand - some days I've needed to rest so badly. I think our bodies and minds are just worn out from the operation and the worry and some fear.
And ... keeping up appearances or a good front for family and friends is hard work. It is good to go with the flow when your body says - sleepy time 🛌🛀🌜. Linda

If you can get a friend or relative to cooperate - have an at-home pedicure, foot and leg massage with lots of mositurizers. My skin, hair and nails took a ral beating from this operation and the pampering will feel soooo good. While I think of it - eat jello or gelatin products - really helps with recovery of all of these.
Hugs to you Julia

one of the problems, I think, is that we don't show dramatic wounds or a cast or anything - our deep wound is inside and scar is covered up - I swear others get more attention when they have a nasty pimple on their nose than us -
the keeping up appearances, even to ourselves, is exhausting - nothing to feel guilty about or ashamed of - no need to defend yourself to others or your self - this is so hard to do - we should be able to just get over it and get moving already ... it ain't like this - but will get better ... just allow your body to heal ...
big warm hug

I put on a few pounds, which I am now trying to get rid of.

So I guess there are always going to be times of energy and times of fatigue. Grasp the moments of energy and make the most of them and indulge yourself when tired and rest - it's all good.
Sleep well x

The sun is shining today, I have had a lovely wash ( oh how wonderful will it be to get in that bath - whenever that will be!!!!! )
more than that I have walked to the end of our street and back and spoken to a neighbour en route!!!! I knew I was slow cos I was too slow even for my 12 year old Labrador !!!! Ha, Neil has taken the two hooligan border terriers to the pub for refreshment ( him or them ? ) I am going to sit in the sunshine and inhale the fresh air.
Hope you are feeling good Julia xxxxxxx
love Maloo

That sounds just great progress there - love the bit about the rhino skin. The plaster glue can be unpleasantly itchy.
Your walk sounds like a wonderful tonic to your recovery, you are not in a race, so your lack of speed does not diminish your achievement.
Best wishes
