Energy Levels
Hi, Sleevers!
My surgery was last Monday. POD3 I was able to walk with my dog and I've continued that, working up to our regular route of a mile.
Other than that, I don't have much energy at ALL. What was it like for everyone postop? When did you get back your energy?
(yes, I was the girl who posted that I vacuumed three days after surgery...that must have been adrenaline! ☺️)
My husband asked my surgeon last week how soon can I go back to work! The doctor looked at my husband and said, "your wife will look great after surgery, but will be very tired. Its all about healing. I want her to take 4 weeks off from any kind of work." Hang in there, energy is coming for you soon!
Of course you don't have energy! You had surgery, what, 8 days ago? Let yourself heal. Rest, relax, walk, and be kind to yourself. :) I was feeling good enough to go out to see a movie at about 2 weeks. And good enough for everything else by the end of week 3.
