NESTING
YES, like crazy especially since I live alone. I knew I wouldnt be able to do anything for a long time after surgery and I looking back I think it was a way to keep busy and my mind off my upcoming surgery. My house sparkled when I went into surgery, lol!!!

Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

I nested like crazy!!!
Cleaning the entire apartment from top to bottom wasn't enough for me. I had to go out and rent a carpet cleaner too. My girlfriends came over and helped me move the furniture back.
Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."
- George S. Patton, U.S. Army General, 1912 Olympian

I can remember the department meeting a couple of days before my surgery and announcing to my team that nesting had absolutely nothing to do with being pregnant and had everything to do with anxiety because I nested like crazy before my surgery. I was 2 parts needing to get everything clean and ready before I went into the hospital and was out of commission for a little while and 8 parts pure nervous energy! Enjoy it, I haven't cleaned like that since surgery, even though I have plenty of energy now, I just want to use that energy to go out and do fun stuff with my kids.

DEFINITLY! The last two weeks before surgery were crazy!
I would come home from work and just clean, make dinner and clean.
I wanted everything done so I would come home from the hospital feeling
relaxed knowing that the house, laundry and anything else was taken care of.
HAPPY NESTING!!
