So, I'm a few days out from surgery. Feeling ok, drinking water, protein shakes, walking around the house ... but where is the 'home relaxing' part? (I'm still at my parents until I don't know when ...)
I can't read a book, much less a paragraph of a chzy magazine - can't concentrate. I can't walk (need to get this incorporated into my life before I return to work) because it's 200 degrees out. Can't help my friend start her new business (custom cakes, cookies, penny candy, etc) - she's moving from her home to a retail outlet - too weak ... can't watch a movie - fall asleep. Call a friend but can't concentrate - all of the wrong words come out (how wierd).
I keep thinking back to the first support group I went to where I asked everyone how long it was before they went back to work. A woman next to me said: I had it done on Thr and went back to work on Monday. I think she lied. (Not that I want to go back to work - I don't - but I want to get a few things done !)
Rant over. Need to take a doze.
Get plenty of rest and before you know it you will feel like doing all of those things!!!!
ReplyDeleteEach day does get easier, Friend.. Listen to your body, and give it some extra tender loving care..
ReplyDeleteIt took me a week to feel liek myself again. And two weeks before I was ready to go back to work.
ReplyDeleteHowever, it is just like having a baby- you forget in all the bliss that comes afterwards.
2 weeks before I went back to work and then I was tired...
ReplyDeleteI feel like it took me longer than everyone else before I was feeling good. I ended up taking two weeks off, when I only planned one week. Hang in there, it will get better!
