Day 17 feeling bleugh

Hi there.Just keep in mind that your normal sleep patterns are thrown off. Medication also affect your REM sleep so even though your napping you are not getting the kind of sleep you need so your body is still fatigued .You really did do a lot.I hope you feel better tomorrow but know you did exactly what your body needed to do today.Healing requires rest. Be well💝

It does get better! I am 9 weeks out from left hip replacement. Sometimes still a little emotional. I credit my neighbor for getting me out the house and into society!

You have to push yourself out! It is still hard, but I make myself do it!

Out of the house to dinner, friends coming over..it just makes me get up and out of my pajamas!

And I sleep better at night when I'm tired from the days activities!

I also have lost 12 lbs and really don't have an appetite, but I eat a lot of yogurt, fruits and vegetables.

Tomorrow, friends are bringing a dish and I am also cooking! Something too look forward too!

Hugs to you dear woman. I hope tomorrow us a god day. But days of rest are good too - the body needs time to recuperate .

Santé.

Yep we all have those days.....Have had some myself and it feels good when you need to rest to be able to do so. In fact been pretty busy and on my feet the past few days am due for a day like that myself....I am at 5 1/2 weeks the resting days have become less but are still needed....Wishing you well....Barb

Thanks everyone for the replies. Its the first time I've had a day like that since my op so I should say I've been pretty lucky so far! It just threw me that I could sleep as much as I did! (I remembered Kate's post - sleep when you want, we are not ruled by the clock). Its 5.00am here in the UK in Sunday morning. I'm going back to sleep in my recliner & then my sister is taking me to Costco for an hour to get me out. I'll probably come back with a few less £'s in my pocket, 48 boxes of washing powder & 24 tins of beans! X

Oh, bless you, it takes you surprise when you've been more active, but I think it's just the healing process, you may have overdone it over the last couple of days. Just enjoy it while you are feeling sleepy and then do more next time you are awake. I think we all have days like that x

 

Goodmorning 

That was actually a good day !!! seriously - your body needed this rest and probably your mind too - a lot of healing is taking place when you are resting and just surrender - 

Costco eh?  I remember Costco in Los Angeles -- enormous ... are you sure you are up to that ? it is exhausting even when in good health - or maybe it is me - I always got so excited and needed to walk every aisle, just in case I needed something I didn't think of ...do they have one of those scootmobiles? 

if so, use it 

Have fun, darling .... love to hear what you bought ...

big warm hug

You did the right thing. Sleep when you need to. Yesterday was day 6 for me. Woke up at 8.30!  Tea

then yoghurt and fruit. Medication and some exercises. Still in bedroom. Went back to bed with a cup of tea and a book. Woke up again at 1.15!

good plan because then I had enough energy to watch Adele at Glastonbury!!r

i think if your body is telling you to sleep. Do just that. Mother Nature is trying to fix us!

fairy dust coming your way. 💫

Hey honey

Awe you will have many a day you feel bleugh and other days you feel great. My moods are up and down so.much since my ops and now l have knee's l felt s??t when l found out between that and my mum l felt like screaming why me l am only 43 but l have digested it now and have to do it. I have made a pack with my mum that we both will get through this and book the most luxury villa in cyprus and have the holiday of our dreams. It gives is somrthing to aim for especially my mum as she need posativaty snd happiness around her just now so l am.putting a brave face on in front of my mum even though l am scared stiff as l.went on the knee forum and they are telling me the pain for knee replacements is so much worse than hips.....yipee can't wait ha ha

But back to you young lady you will be ok its a rollercoaster this hip malarky good days and teally blah days when you just cry. But you have all us for support.kate was right about sleep l was awake and am awake most nights at between 4 and 5am and l get up and come down and lie on my couch and fall asleep. I don't think my wee hubby has woke with me in bed since november but he understands and hust lets me do whatever makes me feel comfortable. Enjoy costco hun.. hopefully it will make you feel better.

Hugs
